      Strange but true, the policy of appeasing Hitler was rooted in the premise that anti-fascism was as bad as or worse than fascism.

      In 1940 Lord Halifax & majority of Tory elite thought anti-fascism worse than fascism so wanted to accept Hitler as overlord of Europe

      To be fair, Lord Halifax's desire to cut a deal with Hitler motivated by his imperialism as much as his anti-communism.

          That and the Somme, Verdun, Ypres, and a lost generation. Also, Hitler estimated correctly that UK wouldn't risk war over Czechoslovakia.

          And to be fair, communism as practiced by the Soviet Union had been pretty murderous. More than the Nazis as of 1940, right?

          Erik Prince wants vice-roys and East India Co in South Asia. What's really changed? Other than the Indian people seem okay with it.

          Also saw many of his own generation die in the trenches and had sons (one of whom died in WW2). Surely that might also have influenced him?

          To be fair, it's plausible Britain's elites would have fared worse under Stalin than under Hitler.
