comment Why did Nazi soldiers do Hitler's bidding?
Germans were known for better following the laws of war in WWI than Russians did. They treated the POWs well and did respect the rights of Jews which many Russians did not. Many people who remembered WWI thought that Germans would behave similarly in WWII. That's why there were so many Soviet POWs initially.

comment Why did Nazi soldiers do Hitler's bidding?
But in the WWI there were no such hostilities which points at the Nazi guilt at least partly. Possibly the soldiers were not needed to be motivated for hostilities, but any normal state usually punishes the soldiers who commit ones. In this light quite indicative the Hitler's amnesty orders and requests to exempt soldiers who commited crimes on POWs of any punishment.

comment What went wrong with India's scientific development as a society?
LOL. Did they have a power loom so to be "as advanced as Europeans"? They simply could not compete with English steam looms by 18th cectury.

It is simply not true that India held scientific leadership somewhere from 1000 BC to 1000 AD

From this point of view, the US political parties seem to not to engage in politics at all.

comment Chronology of Political Party Alignment with “Left” and “Right”
Agreed. It seems that the most controversies between the political parties in the US lay outside of left-right dimension. In other countries these issues (LGBT, abortions, capital punishment, women rights etc) would be considered non-political entirely because "political" usually means connected to left-right dispute. In Russia one can say "I decided to leave politics, I will struggle for gay rights now on" or "I decided to leave politics, I will fight for ban on abortions".

How much banning the death penalty can say about whether a party right or left? In Russia the left wing is usually in favor of death penalty while the liberals (i.e. the right-wing, pro-West parties) usually oppose it.
