It's an inherently self-destructive, unsustainable ideology. None of them think that they'll become a victim of their own ideology until the Gestapo knocks on their door.

As a German let me just recite a famous prose about it:

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
     Because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
     Because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
     Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
