Nah. Ted does hate Nazis. He's just excitable and a bit confused by the term liberal democracy. That it means a society where the rights of an individual are enshrined in law regardless of social standing is a revelation to people who count themselves Tea Party members.
That this notion is being obscured and is under attack from a multitude of directions without millions taking to the streets in its defense is mystifying to me.
If I was more conspiracy minded I would consider that China is proof that, contrary to 20th Century political theory, capitalism is not joined at the hip to democracy. Rights are bad for business.
Tea Party and Ukip most resemble turkeys voting for Christmas. All Ted's genius is concentrated in his fingertips.
