Facts are true otherwise they would not be facts. Our view of what is a fact may be incorrect or what was once a fact may no longer be so because the event has passed. However if it was a fact, it will always be true that it was a fact at one time.

Nazism, Communism and Liberalism are all Utilitarian philosophies but applied to diffferent populations. For Nazis it was the Volk, for Communism it was the proletarians and for Liberalism it was the consumer as well as the owners/controllers of production, services and finance.

Great episode. You make me think even where I disagree with you. Perhaps you could do Plato's Republic next or Aristotle's Nicomachian Ethics.

There is no ethical neutrality in the modern state. The modern state is a product of the modernist pragmatic ideology and so is an atheist state. The ethics allow for the sacrifice of children through abortion. The Nazis killed the disabled becuase their ethics followed Nazi ideology, likewise todays abortions of disabled children. Iceland boasts, thanks to abortion, no Downs syndrome children have been born some years. No state is ever neutral.
