Lee, I think what Binecon is saying - but he can speak for himself - is that the seeds of the Second World War were sown much earlier than the rise of Hitler and that it served the interests of the 'military-industrial complex' (to use a simplified term) and that to avert war, ordinary people need to identify and fight these mechanisms, instead of letting themselves be rallied by antequated notions such as nationalism.
I'm simplifying here but if the Treaty of Versailles hadn't been so onerous and disproportionate - thereby effectively eradicating Germany's economic power and competitiveness - the Second World War may not have happened at all.
If American and Japenese economic interests had not clashed in the east, there might not have been a Pearl Harbour.
If Europe's colonial interests had not been so contentious, the whole series of alliances which Europe got locked into before WW1 would not have developed, creating the domino effect which unleashed the First World War.
These are all economic interests, which benefit the few to the detriment of the many.
In reality, wars are not fought for principles but for economic and/or strategic gain.
To think otherwise is a fallacy
