I don't know anyone that uses the expression "Auschwitz" to reflect the genocide in context when speaking about authoritative situations. JMHO.
IMO, there is no difference in the "Taliban" and "Auschwitz". Both are extreme, oppressively authoritative and involve genocide.

Not to me sorry...Auschwitz is a place, not a government. A literal place where some of the worst things imaginable happened. It doesn't express control to me, just perverted, sick, torture, dismembering, experiments, GASSING, murder, starvation, mass graves, killing your own to survive, rape, pedophiles, diseased rotting flesh, the smell of charred remains...no, I don't get the jump to those who want STRICT standards, hardly any entertainment, or modern things, as the same. Yes, to me its GOOFY to ban a wrist watch and that makes no sense to me...but to say that my brother in Christ, who may not even call ME his brother, may loathe me because I like modern things and Movados, is like those who committed these crimes against humanity is shameful AT BEST....
