Better poetry than politics
Politically, Ezra Pound was either grotesquely evil or simply insane. There is really no middle ground here. The Holocaust, the fate of the Jews in Europe was as a direct result of the forces that Pound and other fellow travellers cheered onward in Italy and Germany.
Pound and his more weird friends, enthusiasts of Social Credit, believed that faceless bankers had caused the tribulations of the Great War. Be careful how you incite a righteous hatred is the lesson here.
