Bryan Ferry has got into a bit of a kerfuffle over comments he made about Nazi iconography. Unfortunately he forgot the basic rules of the game, Left wing dicatorships romantic: Right wing dictatorships evil.
Instead of admiring the presentation of Nazi rallys and the work of Speer and Riefenstahl he should have spoken of the spectacle of Stalin’s parades, of the magnificent architecture of Boris Iofan and of the romanticism of socialist realism. No one would have batted an eyelid.
