Corey Boucher-Joseph Stalin

Extremism in Russia is wonderful. It is what allows me to single-handedly rule the country. I for one don't feel it is necessary for change. My rule and the very basis of extremism itself is doing this country wonders. but if one defies my rule, or acts out against it, the will be killed. nothing more. This is how it is, and how it will remain. People should respect my and my country enough to know not to disobey. I will see to it that Russia remain extreme as long as I live. Thus, i don't intend on changing anything.

Extremism in Europe - Neville Chamberlain (K.Ellis)

Coming from a Prime Minister, my viewpoint on the growing Extremism in Western Europe and Russia is that one should not hold political or religious views as high as they are being held. When I was Prime Minister in England, Hitler was beginning to have aggression towards Poland. I pledged to defend their independence when Hitler attacked. I believe that someone who holds too much power will eventually become corrupt and have major issues. To stop this from happening, I think that the people who are not power hungry, the opposites of Hitler, should become the powers.

Leonardo Giarrusso -Benito Mussolini

Hello my name is Benito Mussolini, and I believe that extremism should continue. I believe in dictatorship and a totalitarian state. This means that I have full control and that people cannot do what they want on their own unless I direct it at them. If I tell them to do it, they do it. If I tell them not to do it, then they do not do it. I do believe in extremism because I am a man who believes that one man should run the government.

     From my point of view the rise of growing extremism in much of western europe and russia started because of all the economy problems. As a jew I feel strongly against this uprising of extremism especially in Germany. There is great prejudice against jews and it was clearly unsafe for me to live there any longer. I think that extremism should be stopped because there are too many changes in everyday life. Many citizens get rights taken away then property in these changes so it makes life harder to live with no reward.

Through my experience, I have easily come to the realization, that in order to govern and rule a nation effectively, one must gain total control and power. It seems that in order to gain complete control (have a totalitarian state) one must rule with extremism. The rise of extremism in Western Europe and Russia is a good thing. In my own country, this is the way I rule and I have found much success. I believe that the reason for all of this to be happening is because the leaders are realizing that things do not work the same way they did before the World War. This extremism is a way of gaining complete obedience and power of a nation quickly and efficiently. Some people are angry and recognized that they were wronged in the war and now they are forced to build back up and restart. These rulers recognize the quickest way to rebuild: extremism. Nothing should be done about it. It is perfectly fine the way it is. Countries are striving and rulers are thrilled. Extremism is a great and powerful weapon that should be used worldwide.

Nick Andreozzi- Adolf Hitler

I have seen many different types of philosophies throughout my many years in service, and through my years as a leader. I believe that the rise of Extremeism in much of Western Europe and Russia is a great thing. There is no better feeling than having total power over a country, and using propaganda to help get the people on your side. I believe that it is happening because the countries and the people in the countries do not have a choice. Like here in my home country of Germany, if you disobey the law or if you are against anything we do, your done. No choice. The thing that should be done is that it should keep growing. Look what I have done here in Germany. Of course the Jews aren,t going to a "Paradise Getaway", we made them believe that by using propaganda and total power over them. They really were going to concentration camps. In my country isn't cool to work all day, but by putting signs around and by showing people it's the only way of leaving, we pretty much talked them in to thinking it is the coolest thing in the world. Extremism is happening because the people of there respected countries do not have a choice. It is a way of life, and until someone comes and take down the mighty Nazi party, I am not leaving or changing anything.
