Summary

This quote challenges the common misconception that the Nazis were able to gain power by restoring order from chaos. The speaker argues that, contrary to popular belief, the Nazis actually thrived in the midst of chaos and utilized it to their advantage.

In essence, the quote suggests that the Nazis exploited rather than remedied the chaos, exposing the fallacy of their rise to power.
