Is PNG following Adolf Hitler’s path?

IS Papua New Guinea going down the path Adolf Hitler took in Nazi Germany?
In January 1933, Adolf Hitler was made chancellor (prime minister).
Hitler was conscious of his political rivals, mainly the communists.
He wanted a single party, his own party Nazi, to run Germany and powers to himself so that he would allow rule unopposed and unhindered by coalition governments and political opponents.
While waiting for the right moment to come, he built the state apparatus that would come handy and become his main weapon.
The police force. Hitler started with the Gestapo, the Nazi Party’s intelligence and security service.
Under the command of Heinrich Himmler (Bryan Kramer) the Gestapo aimed to keep every individual in Germany (PNG) under constant supervision.
His most ruthless force was the SS (Schutzstaffel) under the command of Reinhard Heydrich, less educated but fierce loyalists and Hitler fanatic.
Originally the SS was Hitler’s elite personal body guard.
It grew into a formidable private army, made up of fanatical supporters of Hitler.
He used them as his execution squad to eliminate his opponents.
The opportunity came on the eve of election on Feb 27, 1933, the Reichstag (Parliament House) got burned down.
An atmosphere of panic and terror followed the event.
This continued when a young Dutch communist, Van der Lubbe was arrested for the crime.
The Nazi Party used the atmosphere of panic to their advantage, encouraging anti-communism.
Hitler declared that the communists had planned a national uprising to overthrow the Weimar Republic (time old German republic).
This hysteria helped to turn the public against the communists, Hitler’s main opponents in the power game, and 4,000 people were imprisoned.
The day after the fire, Hitler asked the German president Hindenburg (in our case it would be the state or the people of PNG) to sign the emergency decree for the protection of the German people.
This decree would give Hitler and Nazi absolute power to do anything to protect the state and Germany.
On Feb 28, 1933, president Hindenburg signed the emergency decree for the protection of the German people as our Pandemic Act.
This decree suspended the democratic aspects of the Weimar Republic (PNG’s democracy) and declared a state of emergency.
This decree gave the Nazis a legal basis for the persecution and oppression of any opponents, who were be framed as traitors to the republic.
People could be imprisoned for any or no reason. The decree also removed basic personal freedoms, such as the freedom of speech, the right to own property, and the right to trial before imprisonment.
Through these aspects the Nazis suppressed any opposition to their power and were able to start the road from democracy to a dictatorship.
The atmosphere of uncertainty following the Reichstag fire was the perfect opportunity for the Nazi party.
And the rest is history.
This happened many years ago in a country so far away.
But history has its way of teaching important lessons and relating to events.
