      Book burning is incorrectly thrown out as a form of censorship and a hallmark of fascism by many people.

      Many authoritarian systems practice such censorship, but it is often ascribed to Nazis.

      The Nazis did burn books. But most people don't know what the most famous incident was.

      I'm not 100% certain exactly what point you're trying to make - re: the Nazis - however I did come across this page vis-à-vis Book Burning.

      Read the thread to see the point. The specific burning was to destroy a trove of sexology knowledge - we still fell the effects today.

      Wording of the character limit. It is meant to mean that it is not the hallmark of Naziism that people think it is

      It's been practiced by statist authoritarian systems all throughout the political spectrum.

      If you asked me to name unique marks of 20th C fascism, it wouldn't make the list.

          Besides the term Hallmark implies a distinctive quality... while book burning is present in pretty much all societies.

          So I think it would be fair to suggest that Book Burning is a Hallmark of fascist-like regimes (in the 20th C). (As a general rule).

          ehhh, not a unique one, unless you add nuance. Fascism's censorship is more about elimination of the "weak" minority more than thought ctrl.

          To the change the subject perhaps, and something I'd be curious to find out what you know, have you looked into The Pol Pot regime at all?

          I've read about it but I don't have the nuance or cultural understanding to appreciate the topic in depth.

          That's OK.. I'm no scholar myself, however I think you'd find it very informative! xD Here's a good starting point: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_Zero_(political_notion) …
