A quote from Anishinaabe writer Patty Krawec that may be helpful context:
"Too often we develop myths of innocence, like calling that concentration camp in Florida Alligator Auschwitz, as if there aren't myriad examples of this kind of race-based detention in US history. Hitler was inspired by the US after all, it isn't the other way around."
The current Trump regime is not the anomaly some people wish it to be, and to confront the real issues requires confronting British North American settler-colonialism generally (consolidated into USA and Canada). All this pointing at individuals, or pointing to governments on other continents, is simply an attempt to move to innocence.
Again, a mirror of Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union where the concentration camp and the gulag provided labour for the state.
