No, I'm implying that the ruling class has unique guilt and responsibility, which is nontransferable to their subjects. I never said we have no responsibility. I only contend that holding us equally accountable is mystification; it obscures the uniquely horrible actions of the ruling class. They're the ones who deserve to be tried for their crimes, after all.
By flattening society, by holding the least of us accountable for the crimes of our rulers, you actually make it harder to hold anyone accountable for anything at all.
Or do you think the Red Army should have executed all Germans because a minority of them voted for Hitler?
