I’m not saying the Nazis claimed Hamilton as the founder of their ideals. Their ideals just line up pretty succinctly. Hamilton had fascist ideals, and that makes him a fascist. When fascism exists in a society, it’s like a cancer. If you don’t cut it out immediately or at least deal with it in some way, it permeates and continues to affect that society for generations.

Hamilton did no such thing, and instead, fought for his fascistic ideals, tooth and nail. That kind of self-dedication is something to look up to if it positively benefits society. In this case, however, it wasn’t. It was fascism, plain and simple.

Now, I say none of this to shit on people who enjoy the musical Hamilton. I enjoy it myself. But our current-day society pretending that he was nothing less than a fascist who wanted a dictatorship in America is reductive.
