"National Socialism derives from each of the two camps the pure idea that characterizes it, national resolution from bourgeois tradition; vital, creative socialism from the teaching of Marxism."
National Socialism, most commonly known as
Nazism and also known as
Hitlerism, is a
totalitarian,
Ethnoultranationalist,
third positionist and
imperialist ideology which originated in
Germany in the 20th century. Nazism is largely associated with
Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party, which ruled Germany from 1933 to 1945.
Nazism believes that the
state and, as an extension of it, society, should be based on the ideal of the
Volksgemeinschaft (translated as 'folk, racial, or people's community'), which is a national community of sorts based on a shared ancestry, blood, or culture among a group of people, and that the state should serve the interests of the Volksgemeinschaft whereever possible. To protect the Volksgemeinschaft and to ensure its stability and effective governance, Nazism calls for a strong, often totalitarian state with a singular
leader considered as embodying the state and the Volksgemeinschaft.
Nazism opposes
Communism and class-struggle, instead believing that through the Volksgemeinschaft the interests of the
bourgeoisie and
workers can be harmonized, a form of
corporatism, with some elements of
national syndicalism as well. Outside of this, Nazism has very few economic principles that are independent from the ideal of the Volksgemeinschaft. While it does not refute private property and wishes in many circumstances to keep industry as private as possible, Nazism also believes that ultimately the property of all citizens belongs to the Volksgemeinschaft and that, subsequently, if the interests of the Volksgemeinschaft call for the seizure or nationalization of property, Nazism will do that.
Nazism believes fervently in racial purity and a racial hierarchy, though that is prone often to pragmatic and often contradictory changes. Groups which the Nazis consider as subhumans often included
Jews,
Slavs,
Romani,
Africans, the disabled, and others. Nazism believes that Jews are behind the supposed degeneration and destruction of the nation and behind ideologies that he opposes such as
"Judeo-Bolshevism",
liberalism,
"Judeo-Capitalism"
globalism and
democracy. It was because of this belief in the racial inferiority of groups like the Jews and Slavs that Nazism, in control of Germany, started World War II and killed anywhere from 11 to 17 million people (including deaths from the genocide of Jews in the Holocaust).
After the end of Nazi rule in Germany, Nazism was reduced to a fringe movement which now manifests itself as
Neo-Nazism, a loosely connected movement with various beliefs, but which commonly manifests as a belief in
White supremacy and hatred towards Jews, blacks, and other groups considered to be inferior.
History
[edit]Foundations
[edit]Nazism has its roots in various traditions of the German far-right and debatably even parts of the centre and left. Its largest influence comes from the traditions of
Volkism and
German Socialism, which emerged in the 19th century.
The "German Socialists", who co-existed with the Marxists and other socialists in the 19th century, were a group of (initially) reactionary philosophers who distinguished themselves from many other movements by claiming to represent not a single class but human nature and Man himself. These German socialists opposed bourgeois competition and freedom of the press, as well as bourgeois liberty and equality. They proclaimed the German nation to be the model nation and highlighted the German merchant: the petit bourgeoisie, as the 'model man'.
From there, the German Socialist movement began to merge increasingly with the Volkist movement. This ethno-nationalist movement emerged as a reaction to the Prussian state's failure to unify all German-speaking peoples under a single German Reich. The Volkists were romanticists; esoterics who idolized the history of the Holy Roman Empire and mystified the German people's past. The idea of the German Socialists, which aimed to represent Humanity regardless of class, merged with the Volkist cause to unite the German people and eliminate social categories.
Paul de Lagarde and Julius Langbehn emerged as key philosophers of the Volkist movement, both of whom would go on to influence Nazism heavily.
Langbehn strongly opposed rationality, materialism, liberalism, and cosmopolitanism as manifestations of degeneracy, attributing this to the Enlightenment and urbanization. He thus proposed that Germany and its people should move away from the "Slavic, French, Jewish-dominated Prussia" and towards a more Germanic character, a "highly intense inwardness". Likewise, de Lagarde was an aggressive antisemite and anti-Slavist, who advocated against Christianity and for a German colonial empire not overseas but in Europe; particularly in eastern Europe. Lagarde envisioned a German-dominated Europe that "reaches from the Ems to the mouth of the Danube, from the Neman to Trieste, from Metz to about the Bug". This idea of "Drang nach Osten" would heavily influence Nazi ideals of Lebensraum. Lagarde would also influence Nazism through his promotion of a proto-Führer principle, where an emperor endowed with 'the attributes of
Luther and
Frederick Barbarossa' would be both an enlightened legislator and "Führer of the people".
By the late 19th century, the German socialist movement and the Volkist movements had heavily merged into one another. This movement would go on to have a profoundly influential impact on the politics of the Austrian and German Empires in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Volkism would reach its apex during World War I, with what it considered the emergence of the German Volksgemeinschaft; the people's (racial) community, the unity of the German people regardless of class or status behind the German war effort, where all classes would work together and live harmoniously to work for the nation. The idea of the Volksgemeinschaft would strongly influence Nazi ideology, and arguably be the core of its ideology.
Origins
[edit]The outbreak of World War I and the instability that resulted from it and the following years led to a complicated and charged political environment, which led to the rise of Volkist and other nationalist groups, many of whom primarily emerged in opposition to the Social Democrats (SPD) and Communists.
In September 1917 during the later stages of the War the German Fatherland Party (DVLP) was formed as a reaction to the Reichstag Peace Resolution, which attempted to reconcile the traditional German "right" with the new militant nationalist right: among the most influential groups were the antisemites, pan-Germans and Volkists, all of whom would go on later to found various political parties to succeed the DVLP when it dissolved following the German revolution in 1918. Among the members of these groups was Anton Drexler, a railway worker from Munich. Drexler had joined the DVLP when it was new in 1917, and supported the party through the creation of various groups, culminating with the founding of the German Workers' Party (DAP) together with his colleagues Karl Harrer, Dietrich Eckart, and Gottfried Feder. From the beginning, the DAP had little support outside of the small circle Drexler had created for himself during the war: meetings and speeches given often triggered little, if any, enthusiasm and were often drowned out by the background noise in the restaurants their meetings were held in.
This would be changed decisively with Adolf Hitler's introduction to and membership in the DAP. At the time, Hitler had been working as an agent of the Propaganda Department of the Reichswehr and acted as an informant for the government in meetings of various political parties founded in Munich, including the DAP. Hitler became prominent in the party after he passionately spoke out against the proposed secession of Bavaria from Germany, and after recognizing his oratory skills, Drexler invited Hitler to join the DAP.
Hitler's insistence that the DAP shift itself towards a 'party of the masses' rather than a small, almost 'secret society', combined with his oratory skills, led to the rapid growth not only of his popularity but of the DAP as well. In his first-ever official public speech for the party, he drew a crowd of 111. Impressed by his results, he was made the party's head of propaganda. Through his influence and popularity, he was able to sideline Drexler and other party members. As he was responsible for organizing party events and managing the party's public relations, he was able to influence party policy significantly. His position led him to become, de facto, one of the leaders of the party, and his influence continued to grow into 1920.
Consolidation & Rise To Power
[edit]The early years of the Nazi Party were marked by internal conflict and the rise of Adolf Hitler from de facto leader to undisputed hegemon of the entire party apparatus. The Munich branch of the party demanded that the Nazis merge with their rivals, the German Socialist Party. In response, Hitler threatened to leave the party unless this demand was withdrawn, and he would replace Drexler as Chairman. Hitler consequently consolidated power throughout the rest of the 1920s, until he became the rigid head of a heavily centralized, top-down movement where his word was above any constitution or written law within the party.
Wishing to emulate the success of the Italian Fascists in their March on Rome, Hitler led the Nazi Party on a march on Munich in an attempt to overthrow the Bavarian government and, consequently, inspire the Reichswehr to mutiny against the German government. They did not. Consequently, Hitler was thrown in jail, though his sentence was short. The Nazi Party was for a brief moment banned, and the brief fragmentation this caused the movement resulted in the left wing of the movement to rise to prominence. After Hitler's release from prison and the re-legalization of the Nazi Party, Hitler moved his attention towards reconsolidating all power in the party around himself over attempting to increase the party's electorability; consequentially in the first election after Hitler's release, the party received a little over 900,000 votes, in comparison with their nearly 2 million votes in the previous election in May.
After Hitler consolidated power around himself, he turned his attention to utilizing the political empire that the Strasser brothers had established for him. This came to a head after the Great Depression and the subsequent financial crisis in Germany, which the Nazis gleefully took advantage of to sway middle-class businessmen and other people affected by the crisis to their party. Such was the electoral success that the Nazi Party went from a fringe party with 12 members in the Reichstag to the second-largest party in the Reichstag. Political successes would continue into 1932 (though the Nazis did lose a portion of their support base in the November 1932 elections), with the Nazis becoming the largest party in the Reichstag. Hitler's popularity led him to run for German President against Paul von Hindenburg. Although he lost the election, he garnered over 13 million votes and won in various constituencies.
At the same time, the Nazi party and Communist party grew in popularity and power, at the expense of the parties of the center. By late 1932, the two parties had become so dominant that it was impossible to form a majority government without their support. With the failure of the Schleicher chancellorship, Hindenburg appointed Hitler as Chancellor in 1933.
Hitler seized the opportunity presented by the Reichstag Fire to blame his political opponents, such as the Communist Party. Through alliance with various nationalist and conservative movements in the Reichstag, the Nazis rallied for the banning of the Communist Party a day after the March 1933 elections. Later that month, Hitler, or more accurately, the cabinet of the Chancellor, gained the power to make and enforce laws without the permission or involvement of either the Reichstag or the President. As the cabinet in question was already composed mostly, if not entirely, out of his followers who adhered to the
Führerprinzip, or leader principle, the act de facto gave nearly, but not all, power in Germany to Hitler. The Enabling Act was passed and supported by all political parties in the Reichstag. The only parties that voted against the act were the Social Democratic Party and the Communist Party.
Hitler would attain hegemonic control over the states of Germany through mandating the dissolution of the parliaments of all German states, except Prussia, which they already controlled. The new provisions resulted in the Nazis and their coalition partners receiving a working majority in all state parliaments. This was followed by further centralization of power with the appointment of a Reichsstathalter, who held near-complete control over state government, by the President, on the advice of the Chancellor. As these would near exclusively be coalition partners of the NSDAP, or NSDAP members, Hitler retained near absolute control over the state governments of Germany. In June 1933, Hitler banned his largest opposition group: the SPD. By July, the various other political parties represented in the Reichstag, including even the NSDAP's coalition partners, all dissolved themselves out of fear of the consequences if they did not. The Nazis, on 14 July, banned all other political parties save for the Nazi Party.
Hitler's next move was to unify the Nazi Party with the state, establishing the Nazi Party as a public corporation of the German government and an official organ of the government. All government agencies fell under the control of the Nazi Party. The states of Germany would later de facto be dissolved, with their governing bodies superseded by the Gaue and their Gauleiters. In 1934, with the death of Hindenburg, Hitler combined the offices of President and Chancellor, proclaiming himself the "Führer and Chancellor of the German Reich".
Dictatorship and Interwar
[edit]Hitler was threatened by the left wing of the Nazi movement, mainly in the Sturmabteilung led by Ernst Rohm, who supported the SA becoming a "people's army" that would merge with the Reichswehr to bypass the restrictions made on Germany's army. This was firmly opposed by the German bourgeoisie and the Reichswehr, which Hitler relied on for support. Consequently, Hitler took the opportunity to purge his opponents from both the party and outside it, killing them or sending them into exile. This ended any chance of any real organized political opposition to Hitler.
Hitler's economic policy was marked both by rapid privatizations of former state-owned companies and enterprises and a gradual shifting of the economy towards armament and a preparation for war, as Hitler saw it inevitable with his beliefs of "Lebensraum", or living space, that Germany would go to war with the rest of Europe. Hitler's Nazi Germany, through extreme misinformation and propaganda, propped up the image of a prosperous, stable, and strong Germany in contrast to the various other countries of Europe, who were still reeling from the effects of the great depression. In reality, Hitler's budget was funded by borrowed time and money; quite literally. The Nazi's affinity for deficit spending (most of that going to the military) was such that on several occasions the German treasury was on the verge of bankruptcy, only saved either by taking out more loans from front companies or by looting the treasuries of the states Germany conquered. Germany was able to largely ignore its debt obligations due to its international and economic isolation from the world, a policy actively pursued by Hitler, which had drastic effects on Germany's war capabilities. In 1935, Hitler, in violation of the Versailles treaty, began conscription for the Reichswehr (soon reconstituted as the Wehrmacht) and re-established an air force for the military. Empowered by the lack of a strong response to Germany's repeated violations of the Versailles treaty, Hitler remilitarized the Rhineland and set his eyes on territorial expansion. In Austria, his home country, Hitler organized a political coup in 1938 that promptly resulted in the occupation of the country and its annexation. A referendum was held confirming the annexation. While its results are certainly to be called into question and were likely falsified, it is concluded that most Austrians heavily supported unification with Germany. Under the guise of "self-determination", which Hitler proclaimed had been explicitly denied for the German people, Hitler justified his annexation of Austria and later the German-speaking Sudetenland, a region of Czechoslovakia. Hitler lost all trust, as well as potential for negotiation and cooperation with the powers of the West, with his de facto annexation of Czechia and his partition of Czechoslovakia between the newly founded puppet state of Slovakia and Germany's new ally in Hungary.
World War 2 & Aftermath
[edit]Hitler's ideal for Germany was a continent-spanning empire stretching from Metz in the west to Astrakhan in the east; consequently, this would bring Hitler and Germany in conflict with Poland. Hitler demanded in 1939 that Poland cede the "Polish corridor", except Gdynia, to Germany, whilst Germany would annex Danzig. In return, Germany would promise to protect Poland's access to the sea and its only port. Poland rejected the offer, never being allowed to see its provisions. Consequently, with the help of several staged incidents made by the Nazi government, Germany declared war on Poland and invaded. To prevent any conflicts with the Soviets, the Nazis signed a non-aggression pact with the Soviets, which defined "spheres of influence", most notably the Soviets' in the Baltic and much of Eastern Europe. The "Allies", or France and Britain, declared war on Germany soon after. Stalin and the Soviet Union provided Hitler and Germany with much-needed resources for their war machine. These resources were used in the invasions of Scandinavia and the Low Countries, which ultimately led to France's capitulation. Hitler's invasions, as well as alliances with countries such as Italy, Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria, effectively meant that nearly the entire European continent fell under German influence, with a tiny exception. Germany's military successes began to slow down as its reserves of resources dwindled, and it became increasingly reliant on the Soviet Union, which was almost entirely dependent on Germany for the resources of its conquests. As Germany was largely incapable of properly extracting the resources of their newly conquered territories due to a reasonable lack of enthusiasm of slaves for extracting resources, and because it utterly destroyed all infrastructure that would go into extracting these resources, the ability for Germany to independently make its resources necessary for war was increasingly beginning to be threatened. To prevent the Soviets from taking advantage of this weakness, Hitler, motivated by the Soviets' supposed weakness in the face of Finland, invaded the Soviet Union to marked success, reaching as far as to encircle Leningrad and allowing his troops to see the Kremlin in the distance. Germany was not prepared for a long war, and since it was draining the resources the Soviets had provided, Germany's successes quickly turned against it. Around this time, Hitler and the Nazis began the "final solution" of genociding the entire Jewish population in Europe, or at least where they could reach. This resulted in the near annihilation of the Jewish population of Europe by 1945, as well as the extinction of several languages, dialects, and other cultures targeted by the Nazis. By July 1944, with the Allies establishing a strong foothold in Southern Italy and the Allies launching a million-strong invasion of the beaches of Normandy, France, Nazi Germany and its allies found themselves cornered on every front. The situation became so desperate that army officers and elements of the Wehrmacht attempted to overthrow Hitler and sue for peace with the Allies, with unrealistic demands. The coup was exposed and went nowhere, but it proved that Hitler's once near-unanimous support was slipping and that the god-like conception of himself that he had promoted was slipping away. The army itself was refusing to give the Nazi salute, and control and power of the army were slipping away from Hitler. By 1945, any chance of a "Final Victory" as espoused by the Nazis was fiction. Millions of Germans, with the advance of the Soviet Army closer to German territory, fled westward out of fears of reprisals exacerbated by German propaganda. Hitler lost the confidence of both his people and even his most loyal supporters, with his wartime measures fundamentally turning from an attempt to delay the inevitable to turning Germany into a massive meat grinder that would take out as many "Judeo-Capitalists" and "Judeo-Bolshevists" as possible. By his last birthday, the Allies and Soviets had almost entirely encircled Germany and were directly threatening Berlin, where Hitler was hiding. Encouraged by the execution and treatment of Mussolini by the Italian people, Hitler was convinced that he could not suffer the same humiliating fate, and consequently shot himself on 30 April 1945. With him, the German government and war effort fundamentally fell apart; as his successor, Goebbels, also shot himself the day after, and his successors accepted peace with the Allies. The effects were not just catastrophic for Germany, but for much of Europe as well. Germany faced casualties from 6.9 million to 7.4 million, with an additional 7.3 million wounded, out of a pre-war population of 69.3 million. After the occupation of Germany, the allies went on an extensive de-Nazification program to cleanse Germany of the extensive Nazification the country had undergone throughout the 12 years of Nazi dictatorship. The revelation of the vast crimes against humanity, as well as the genocide the Nazis supported and conducted, discredited Nazism immediately; these revelations crushed any chances it had for sympathy.
Neo-Nazism

[edit]After the dismantling and banning of Nazi groups across Europe, the movement became a fringe minority which manifested itself as
"Neo-Nazism". Neo-Nazi groups have had historical and recent successes throughout Europe; however, they remain firmly in the fringe. They seek to revive and resurrect Nazism after World War II to be adapted, however, they see fit, for modern purposes. Neo-Nazism seeks to use its ideology to promote hatred and
white supremacy, attacks on
racial,
ethnic,
religious,
gender and sexual minorities
, and in some cases attempt to establish a fascist state.
International journalist Yoichiro Kawai has divided neo-nazis into two groups: those that support Nazi Germany and worship Adolf Hitler in the narrow sense, and those that engage in extremist activities, including armed struggle, with a focus on "claims that are still applicable to modern society", such as xenophobia and ethnic purity. He claims that neo-nazis in the broad sense are gaining influence, primarily among young people.
Comparisons
[edit]Relationship to Italian Fascism
[edit]
Nazism's relationship to
Italian fascism is often questioned and sometimes outright disputed. The actual core influence of Mussolini's fascism on Nazism is minimal, aside from aesthetics. Many of Nazism's core principles - including the
Führerprinzip, Volksgemeinschaft and class collaborationism - find their roots in the Völkisch movement, rather than Italian fascism.
The actions and style of the Italian fascists indeed did have a profound influence on Hitler and the Nazi Party. When Benito Mussolini's National Fascist Party came to power as a result of the March on Rome, Hitler and the Nazi Party began planning a coup similar to it less than a month later. Many of the Italian fascist aesthetics, including the Roman salute and the black-shirted uniforms, would be an inspiration of the Nazis. The planned "coup", which would go on to be known as the "Beer Hall Putsch", would fail, persuading Hitler to pursue a mostly "legal" path to power.
However, Nazism and Italian fascism has core philosophical differences, make for a lack of considering Nazism, that put them at odds with one another. While both were racialist and racist in nature, Nazism emphasized race and ethnicity (proclaiming this through the ideal of the Volksgemeinschaft), while Italian fascism simply emphasized the nation, which could include other races and ethnicities. To the Nazis, the state was subordinate to the purity of the Volk, and could cease to exist so long as the Volk is pure, whereas the Italian fascists believed that state was an all-encompassing entity that ultimately generates the nation and man's liberty as a unity of mind, and that the state should not serve any specific ethnic groups. Despite these differences, Nazism is an extreme form of fascism rooted in Germanic supremacy, social Darwinism, eugenics, and the concept of Volksgemeinschaft.
Many Fascists also believed in artistic modernism and futurism, where Hitler in Germany denounced them as "decadent" and set out entire campaigns to purge it and the people who produced such art. However, the Nazis promoted a form of “rooted modernism” when it came to the construction of monumental architecture. Moreover, Hitler fully endorsed the efforts of the Party’s modernizing faction to lobby for the erection of monumental buildings in in a classicizing style and for ambitious projects of urban renewal so as to ensure a steady production of buildings which once more inspired a sense, not of tradition or the past, but of a national ‘eternity’ and ‘immortality’ projected into a mythic, millennial future. For Speer and his admirers, at least in civic space, Germany’s total rebirth as nation, race, and culture was best symbolized, not in homely vernacular buildings set in rural idylls, but in vast edifices of stone standing out against the city skyline, silently conjuring up the continuity between Germany’s imminent rebirth and the last great cultural flowering of the Aryan race in classical Greece and Rome. [47]
These ideological differences would cause initial aggression and distrust between Hitler and Mussolini when Hitler rose to power in Germany, and before Italy's involvement in WW2, set out multiple plans to counter the influence of Nazi Germany, which also dates back to Mussolini's hatred of Germany from WW1-era Italian nationalism. Because of this, Italy supported the Austrofascist government of
Engelbert Dollfuss to contain Nazi aggression. In response, the Nazis would assassinate Dollfuss, causing great strain and tension between Germany and Italy. Italy would make several attempts throughout the early 1930s to create a political alliance with the western nations of Europe to oppose Nazi Germany, though all of these failed.
After the Italian Invasion of Ethiopia, Italy became internationally isolated and embargoed. As a result, Italy shifted its geopolitical attention away from Britain and France and instead towards Germany. Germany and Italy, thus, allied. Internal and ideological tensions were still intact, but public relations were smoothed out to aid strategic coordination. After this, Italy would emerge as a key ally of the Nazis in World War II.

Intellectuals of Nazism
[edit]
British Nazism/Leeseism
[edit]British Nazism/Leeseism is based on the thoughts of British political figure Arnold Leese.
He was born at Lytham St Annes, Lancashire,
England,
United Kingdom on November 16th 1878 while his father named Spencer Leese was a manufacturer that became an artist while his nephew named Sir Joseph Francis Leese was a judge that became a politician for the
Liberal Party but then become a first-class cricketer and his second cousin named Sir Oliver Leese was a
Lieutenant-General of the "British Army" since 1914.
Arnold Leese was educated at Giggleswick School near Settle. At the same time, his childhood was characterised by loneliness because he was the only child in the family. Still, then in 1894, his father named Spencer Leese died so the family are in financial difficulties so Leese force to leave boarding school and then years later he attended the
Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons thanks to the financial help of his
grandfather.
In 1903, Arnold Leese graduated from the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, so he worked as an equine clinician in London. Still, then in 1907, he accepted a post at the Civil Veterinary Department in the
British Raj aka India in which he became an expert on camels while working alongside with the
North-West Frontier but then in 1909, he published
several articles on this animal along with its maladies so he was first appeared in the "Journal of Tropical Veterinary Science" while in 1910, a camel parasite called Thelazia leesei was named after him by Louis-Joseph Alcide Railliet and then in 1913, he was transferred to
Italian Somaliland to work for the East Africa Government's veterinary department where he was posted at the outbreak of World War One (1914-1918).
During World War I, Arnold Leese was commissioned in the Royal Army Veterinary Corps but then served as a camel purchase officer to the Remount Commission with the Somaliland Camel Corps. While in France on the Western Front, he was a veterinary officer for the Advanced Horse Transport Depot. During the war, he was married to May Winifred King, who is the daughter of a former
landlord. After the war, Leese returned to the United Kingdom to be settled in Stamford as a practising vet until retirement in June 1928.
In the early 1920s, Arnold Leese became interested in
Italian Fascism while developed a fascination for
Benito Mussolini but then in April 1923, he wrote a short pamphlet called "Fascism for Old England" that praised Mussolini while highlighting the significance of
Fascism for Britain and then Leese joined the
"British Fascists" lead by Rotha Lintorn-Orman shortly after it's creation while in March 1924, he established his branch which soon gained 80 members. Still, Leese despised, however, the group's policies for allowing former
Socialists or
Jews in the party, contending that it was "honeycombed" with
Communist infiltrators.
Arnold Leese further explains that the "British Fascists" did not understand Fascism at all. At the same time, he revolted against
Democracy for a return to
Statesmanship, but also as an animal lover, he claimed that the style of animal slaughter was practised in Judaism, which influenced his
Anti-Semitism. Then he joined an international think tank that was based in Switzerland called the "Centre International d'Études sur le Fascisme/International Centre for the Study of Fascism" (CINEF), whose aim was the promotion of Fascism. At the same time, he served as its British correspondent.
Arnold Lesse has become close to one of his neighbours such as the economist
Arthur Kitson who is a member of
"The Britons" lead by Henry Hamilton Beamish as an
Anti-Jewish pioneer while Kitson persuaded Leese that control of money was the key to power while also the Jewish people ultimately controlled the money and then Kitson supplied him with a copy of the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion book in which Leese explains the little book was true while he could not put it down until he had finished reading it but then the two men became friends until Kitson died at 1937.
Arnold Lesse was elected councillor to the Stamford Town Council along with Harry Simpson, becoming the first elected Fascist councillors in the United Kingdom, but the "British Fascists" had generally chosen not to intervene in the despised democratic system. At the same time, his contempt for Democracy seems to have been paradoxically reinforced by the election. Hence, he says why he got voted by many people, and the reason for this is that he had cured their pigs or pets without the slightest idea about what the ideology stood for.
In 1925, Arnold Lesse along with Harry Simpson joined a splinter group called the "National Fascisti" lead by Henry Rippon-Seymour because Lesse was generally unsatisfied with the policies of the "British Fascists" dismissing the group as
Conservatism with knobs on but then In 1927, he published a piece of literature called "A Treatise on the One-Humped Camel in Health and in Disease" which remain a standard work in the British Raj later
India for 50 years and in May 1927, he founded a splinter group called the "Fascist League" from the remnants of the "National Fascisti" but then in October 1927, he stepped down as a councillor after having served a single term along with retiring from his job as a Veterinarian since June 1928.
In 1929, Arnold Lesse founded a political party called the "Imperial Fascist League" (IFL) while it was initially modelled more along the lines of Italian Fascism but under the influence of Henry Hamilton Beamish who served as vice-president began to focus on Anti-Semitism but then a
blackshirted paramilitary arm called the "Fascist Legions" was created while it was lead by Leslie H. Sherrard & then Erskine Tulloch and the political party initially advocated policies such as
Corporatism, monetary reform and the removal of citizenship from Jewish people while it has 150 to 500 members.
The "Imperial Fascist League" (IFL) including the extensive publishing interests were funded out of Arnold Leese's own pocket but then in April 27th 1932, Leese addressed the
"New Party" meeting lead by
Oswald Mosley on the theme of "The Blindness of British Politics under the Jew Money-Power" that was been chaired and then Oswald Mosley along with Robert Forgan approached to Leese for suggesting that the "Imperial Fascist League" should be merge into the "British Union of Fascists" but the offer was declined but then Leese soon attacked Mosley for his failure to deal with the "Jewish question" even dub the (BUF) into the "British Jewnion of Fascists" or
"Kosher Fascists" because of specific differences between the two political parties such the "Imperial Fascist League" that held a
biological view of Anti-Semitism as a belief that Jewish people were inherently inferior as a race but in contrast to the "British Union of Fascists" whose eventual adoption of Anti-Semitism was framed in ideas about Jewish people that supposed undue influence at the top echelons of society.
The "Imperial Fascist League" (IFL) soon shifted away from Italian Fascism after Arnold Leese visited to
Nazi Germany to met with
Julius Streicher but then its new programme wanted a
'Racial Fascist Corporate State' stressed in the supremacy of the Aryan race as the creator of civilisation with culture along with remodelled newspaper called "The Fascist" with the lines of "Der Stürmer" newspaper and the political party enjoyed a higher profile than its membership might suggest but in a large part due to the funding that it received from Nazi Germany paid through the English correspondent for the "Völkischer Beobachter" newspaper by Dr. Hans Wilhelm Thost.
In 1933, the "British Union of Fascists" (BUF), led by Oswald Mosley, decided to act against the renegade "Imperial Fascist League" (IFL) with a paramilitary unit called Stewards, attacking several meetings. Still, then the campaign culminated in an incident in Great Portland Street in London with 50 Stewards disguised as Communists invaded the stage to attack Arnold Leese before they caused considerable damage to the hall in an attempt to force a large repair bill onto him even the (BUF) passed fabricated evidence of an (IFL) plot to attack its headquarters to the home office and then in July 1935, Lesse along with printer Walter Whitehead published a newspaper issue of "The Fascist" entitled "Jewish Ritual Murder" which later appeared as a pamphlet by proposing the mass genocide of Jewish people by the use of gas chambers that earned him a prison sentence in 1936.
Arnold Lesse, along with Walter Whitehead, was charged with six counts related to two articles published that led to a fine for causing public mischief. However, Lesse was jailed for six months for being convicted of this offense. Still, after his release, he edited a pamphlet entitled "My Irrelevant Defence" as a lengthy work in defence of his earlier claim that Jewish passover celebrations had included the sacrifice of
Christian children. Still, he also used the materials distributed by the "Welt-Dienst" news service headed by Ulrich Fleischhauer while he wrote for it. Then the "Imperial Fascist League" denounced Benito Mussolini as a pro-Semite while claiming that Jews had organised the Second Italo-Ethiopian War (1935-1937).
The "Imperial Fascist League" (IFL) was linked to the "Nordic League" led by Captain Archibald Maule Ramsay. Commander E. H. Cole, a staunch advocate of the book "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion," served as chancellor of the group and was a leading member of the IFL. Still, in 1939, the influence of the "Imperial Fascist League" (IFL) was diminished. Still, the rivalry had cooled to the point that the "British Union of Fascists" bookshop in Canterbury was prepared to stock (IFL) pamphlets and then when World War Two (1939-1945) has started Arnold Lesse declared loyalty to
King George VI while renaming the group into the "Angles Circle" but that stance was rejected by some Pro-German members such as Tony Gittens, Harold Lockwood & Bertie Mills.
In 1940, Arnold Leese was one of the last men of the Fascist movement to be interned in the United Kingdom during World War Two under Defence Regulation 18B. Still, he claimed that his primary loyalty was to Britain but had been somewhat critical of
Adolf Hitler while in June 1940, he reacted with bitter anger when an internment order was issued for him and before November 9th 1940, he set up a series of hideouts from which he published several pamphlets that were critical of the war while he was evaded capture until the end even he is enraged by what he saw as a slur on his
Patriotism.
Arnold Leese violently resisted arrest but then smashed up his holding cell as he saw the war as a "Jew's War" but also he strongly repudiated the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact while castigated Nazi Germany for the invasion of
Norway and then Leese labelled his political creed "Racial Fascism" because he disliked the term "National Socialism" which was used by the Nazi Germany during the war although he along with other members of the "Imperial Fascist League" supported Nazi Anti-Semitism.
In 1944, Arnold Leese was released from detention due to his health following a major operation. Still, then after World War Two, he offered to testify at
William Joyce's trial along with preparing to give evidence on the Jewish issue at Nuremberg in defence of the German National Socialists while described the Nuremberg Trials as a Jewish &
Masonic affair like a procedure in the United Kingdom the Defence Regulation 18B as an act of revenge and then Leese set up his own "Jewish Information Bureau" for a reason.
Arnold Leese began publishing his journal called the "Gothic Ripples," which was primarily concerned with attacking the Jewish people. At the same time, he believed that there were 2.5 million Jews in the United Kingdom, but in reality, there were only 410,000 Jews. Still, also the journal contained a strongly
Anti-Black bent with a regular column entitled "REDACTED Notes," appearing, and then in 1947, Leese returned to prison with a one-year sentence along with seven other former members of the "Imperial Fascist League" for helping escaped German Waffen SS prisoners of war.
In 1948, Arnold Lesse formed the "National Workers Movement" while in December 1950 he stood trial for criminal libel on
Harold Scott who is commissioner of the Metropolitan Police but was acquitted but then in 1951, Lesse essentially retired from politics because of the rival leaders of the movement such as Tony Gittens & Anthony Baron. Then he published his autobiography called Out of Step: Events in the Two Lives of an Anti-Jewish Camel Doctor.
Arnold Lesse acted as mentor to
Colin Jordan & John Tyndall, and then he died in London, England, on January 18th, 1956.
Foundations and Beliefs
[edit]The 25 Points of The National Socialist German Worker's Party
[edit]1.
We demand the union of all Germans in a Great Germany on the basis of the principle of self-determination of all peoples.
2.
We demand that the German people have rights equal to those of other nations; and that the Peace Treaties of Versailles and St. Germain shall be abrogated.
3.
We demand land and territory (colonies) for the maintenance of our people and the settlement of our surplus population.
4.
Only those who are our fellow countrymen can become citizens. Only those who have German blood, regardless of creed, can be our countrymen. Hence no Jew can be a countryman.
5.
Those who are not citizens must live in Germany as foreigners and must be subject to the law of aliens.
6.
The right to choose the government and determine the laws of the State shall belong only to citizens. We therefore demand that no public office, of whatever nature, whether in the central government, the province, or the municipality, shall be held by anyone who is not a citizen. We wage war against the corrupt parliamentary administration whereby men are appointed to posts by favor of the party without regard to character and fitness.
7.
We demand that the State shall above all undertake to ensure that every citizen shall have the possibility of living decently and earning a livelihood. If it should not be possible to feed the whole population, then aliens (non-citizens) must be expelled from the Reich.
8.
Any further immigration of non-Germans must be prevented. We demand that all non-Germans who have entered Germany since August 2, 1914, shall be compelled to leave the Reich immediately.
9.
All citizens must possess equal rights and duties.
10.
The first duty of every citizen must be to work mentally or physically. No individual shall do any work that offends against the interest of the community to the benefit of all.
Therefore we demand:
11. File:LabourTheoryOfValue.png That all unearned income, and all income that does not arise from work, be abolished.
12.
Since every war imposes on the people fearful sacrifices in blood and treasure, all personal profit arising from the war must be regarded as treason to the people. We therefore demand the total confiscation of all war profits.
13.
We demand the nationalization of all trusts.
14.
We demand profit-sharing in large industries.
15.
We demand a generous increase in old-age pensions.
16.File:Dist.png We demand the creation and maintenance of a sound middle-class, the immediate communalization of large stores which will be rented cheaply to small tradespeople, and the strongest consideration must be given to ensure that small traders shall deliver the supplies needed by the State, the provinces and municipalities.
17.
We demand an agrarian reform in accordance with our national requirements, and the enactment of a law to expropriate the owners without compensation of any land needed for the common purpose. The abolition of ground rents, and the prohibition of all speculation in land.
18.
We demand that ruthless war be waged against those who work to the injury of the common welfare. Traitors, usurers, profiteers, etc., are to be punished with death, regardless of creed or race.
19.
We demand that Roman law, which serves a materialist ordering of the world, be replaced by German common law.
20.
In order to make it possible for every capable and industrious German to obtain higher education, and thus the opportunity to reach into positions of leadership, the State must assume the responsibility of organizing thoroughly the entire cultural system of the people. The curricula of all educational establishments shall be adapted to practical life. The conception of the State Idea (science of citizenship) must be taught in the schools from the very beginning. We demand that specially talented children of poor parents, whatever their station or occupation, be educated at the expense of the State.
21.
The State has the duty to help raise the standard of national health by providing maternity welfare centers, by prohibiting juvenile labor, by increasing physical fitness through the introduction of compulsory games and gymnastics, and by the greatest possible encouragement of associations concerned with the physical education of the young.
22.
We demand the abolition of the regular army and the creation of a national (folk) army.
23.
We demand that there be a legal campaign against those who propagate deliberate political lies and disseminate them through the press. In order to make possible the creation of a German press, we demand:
(a) All editors and their assistants on newspapers published in the German language shall be German citizens.
(b) Non-German newspapers shall only be published with the express permission of the State. They must not be published in the German language.
(c) All financial interests in or in any way affecting German newspapers shall be forbidden to non-Germans by law, and we demand that the punishment for transgressing this law be the immediate suppression of the newspaper and the expulsion of the non-Germans from the Reich.
Newspapers transgressing against the common welfare shall be suppressed. We demand legal action against those tendencies in art and literature that have a disruptive influence upon the life of our folk, and that any organizations that offend against the foregoing demands shall be dissolved.
24. We demand freedom for all religious faiths in the state, insofar as they do not endanger its existence or offend the moral and ethical sense of the Germanic race.
The party as such represents the point of view of a
Positive Christianity without binding itself to any one particular confession. It fights against the Jewish materialist spirit within and without, and is convinced that a lasting recovery of our folk can only come about from within on the principle of Common Good before Individual Good.
25.
In order to carry out this program we demand: the creation of a strong central authority in the State, the unconditional authority by the political central parliament of the whole State and all its organizations.
The formation of professional committees and of committees representing the several estates of the realm, to ensure that the laws promulgated by the central authority shall be carried out by the federal states.
The leaders of the party undertake to promote the execution of the foregoing points at all costs, if necessary at the sacrifice of their own lives.
Aryan Race 
[edit]The
National Socialists believed in the concept of the
Aryan-Nordic race. This theory asserted that the
Germanic,
English,
Norwegian,
Danish, and
Swedish peoples belonged to the
Aryan race, a racially and culturally pure and superior class of
European peoples who were conceived as the vanguard of human civilization, with the
Swastika thought to be their unifying symbol. Many
National Socialists also believed that
Greeks,
Italians,
Persians,
Armenians, and
Georgians were also
Aryans.
National Socialist ideology believed that the
Germanic and
Nordic peoples of Northwestern Europe were the purest strains of the Aryan race, and that it was the duty of the State to preserve and protect the ethnic purity of the Germanic peoples.
This concept heavily influenced
Nazi German racial policy. The Nuremberg Laws in 1935 prohibited
miscegenation and other social relations between
Germans and non-Aryan peoples, such as
Jews,
Romanis,
Blacks, and
Slavs in order to "protect the purity and honor of the
German people". Specifially, the
National Socialists viewed
Slavs as a
oriental, Asiatic people foreign to Europe who were incapable of ruling themselves, and
Blacks as a foreign race encroaching on
White,
German blood.
Romanis were seen as a race that had once been
Aryan, but had bred itself into becoming a mongrel, criminal race. Those people's were considered subhumans who were unfit to live in
German society. This resulted in tens of thousands of
Jews and
Romanis being deported to ghettos located in countries such as
Poland at the wars onset. Eventually, after the invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941, the
Nazi regime commenced the "Final Solution", which was the plan to
exterminate every last
Jew in Europe. This was enacted in several ways; through mass shootings conducted by the
Einsatzgruppen, gassings in extermination camps, and death marches. It is estimated that 13 million people of ethnic minorities were killed in this manner.
The racial hierarchy
[edit]If we are to ever understand Nazism's racial views, at least in the concept of why it compares everything to "Aryans", let us first examine the word "Aryan".
"Aryan" (from Proto-Indo-Iranian *Áryas) has several reconstructed origins. It seems most likely however that the root of the word comes from the Indo-European "h₂er-", which literally means "to fit", but which is translated in this context usually as "fitting, proper"- that is 'noble'. Hence, the word "Aryan" can be understood as meaning 'noble one'.
Now, we must examine the word "Herrenvolk". Normally, this is translated as "master race; master people". In the context of which the Nazis categorized the Aryan race as the "Herrenvolk" however, we find that the common translation of "Herr" as 'master' does not fit in this situation.
While Herr indeed can be translated as master, it is almost always used in the concept of 'gentleman'- a title of respect equivalent again to 'noble'.
Hence, when Nazism speaks of the "Aryan race" being the "herrenvolk", they were not saying that they were the 'master race', but rather a "gentlemanly race". In other words, calling the 'noble race' noble. The floor is floor.
In contrast, we find that the common translation of "Untermensch" as literally meaning "subhuman" also makes little sense if we understand what it is contrasting to.
The term "Untermensch" was previously used to refer not to racially inferior or genetically inferior people but rather to a morally or culturally inferior person. A gambler as an example would be considered morally inferior and thus "untermenschen".
In Nietzschean philosophy, the term "Untermensch" is in contrast to "Übermensch". Nietzsche's description of the "Übermensch" was that of a person who had transcended the 'otherworldliness' of Christian values- that is values given by God, and instead that of which manifested the 'grounded, human ideal'. In other words- they were supposed to be a gentlemanly (noble) people. Such is confirmed with the 'last man'- the antithesis of the "Übermensch". The last man is described as tired of life, takes no risks, and seeks only comfort and security. If the Übermensch is the antithesis of this, then we can find that "Übermensch" hence means somebody who is appreciative or even loves the world and life, is willing to take risks, and rejects passive comfort and routine (security).
Henceforth, we find in a sense that the term "Übermenschen" is a cognate with the term "Herrenvolk". Both mean 'gentlemanly people' or 'noble people'. In contrast we therefore find that the term 'untermenschen' refers to a culturally or morally inferior person.
This description is further backed up by Dr. Walter Gross, the head of the Office of Racial Policy of the NSDAP. In a letter sent to Dr. Gross in response to another by Iraqi prime minister Rashid Ali Al-Gaylani, Dr. Gross had this to say.
"The Germans do not fight the Jews because they are Semitic or because they come from the East, but for their character, egoism and their hostility to society."
Nazi racial hierarchy, therefore, was based on the concept of gentlemanliness. The Jews were lambasted by the Nazis as being 'untermenschen' because of their supposed synonymity with the 'Untermenschen'. They were thought to be greedy, lazy, egoistic and self-serving and desired only passive comfort and security. Likewise, this is why there were 'noble Jews'- treated the same as 'Aryans'.
Völkisch equality
[edit]Völkisch equality is a concept within Nazism and a legal practice within Nazi Germany and its controlled territories during World War II, which ascribed racial equality of opportunity, equality before the law, and full legal rights to people of German blood or related blood, but deliberately excluded people outside this definition, who were regarded as inferior. Nazism rejected the concept of the universal equality of human beings. Only those who qualified as Aryans were allowed full legal rights, including equality before the law. This type of equality was not an equality of people as holders of human rights but an equality of people as members of a master race, and thus individuals' interests were subordinate to the collective interest of the Volksgemeinschaft. The Nazis were opposed to the conventional universal conception of equality. The Nazis advocated a welfare state for German citizens (able-bodied Germans of Aryan racial descent) as a means to eliminate social barriers between the German people. The Nazis provided equal access to education for talented children of workers and peasants. Hitler claimed that equality of opportunity for all racially sound German males was the meaning of the "socialism" of National Socialism.
Führerprinzip
[edit]Central to
National Socialist ideology was the principle of
Führerprinzip. This ideal placed the
Führer on the very top of an
organizational hierarchy, meaning that whoever in that position was owed utter and uncompromising obedience from subordinate. This policy practically gave
Adolf Hitler absolute power over the
German nation as a supreme leader, whose word superseded all previous constitutional law. The process of
Gleichschaltung enshrined the
Führer's
total control over
German society, suspending
habeas corpus, and the freedom of speech and assembly, allowing for brutal political repression. The
National Socialist German Workers' Party was made the
only legal party in the nation.
While
Adolf Hitler was the highest Führer, his immediate subordinates held derivative titles indicating authority over their own specific domains as well, operating under the same Führerprinzip. The Führerprinzip existed not only in civil administration, but also extended to all spheres of civil society, and the Gleichschaltung restructured civil society according to the Führerprinzip. The ideology of the Führerprinzip sees each organization as a hierarchy of leaders, where every leader (Führer, in German) has absolute responsibility in his own area, demands absolute obedience from those below him and answers only to his superiors. The supreme leader, Adolf Hitler, answered to no one.
Giorgio Agamben has argued that Hitler saw himself as an incarnation of auctoritas, and as the living law itself. The Führerprinzip paralleled the functionality of
military organizations, which continue to use a similar authority structure today, although in democratic countries members are supposed to be restrained by codes of conduct. The justification for the civil use of the Führerprinzip was that unquestioning obedience to superiors supposedly produced order and prosperity in which those deemed 'worthy' would share.
The principle's oath of unconditional obedience, sworn by Wehrmacht personnel on August 2, 1934, following Paul von Hindenburg's death, explicitly bound soldiers to Hitler: "I swear to God this holy oath, that I shall offer resistance to any person or state authority which should seek to do harm to the rights and freedom of the German people, and that I shall render unconditional obedience to the Führer of the German Reich and People, Adolf Hitler, the Supreme Commander of the Army, and that I shall be ready, as a brave soldier, to lay down my life at any time." This pledge extended the Führerprinzip into armed forces operations, precluding refusal of orders on moral or practical grounds and centralizing war decisions in Hitler's hands, even as field commanders exercised tactical discretion within those bounds. In civilian administration, similar dynamics prevailed, with party officials like
Joseph Goebbels embracing the principle by 1926 to demand total alignment with Hitler's vision, curtailing internal dissent and streamlining policy enforcement through fear of removal or worse.
National Socialism
[edit]The economy of the Third Reich, guided by the Worldview of National Socialism, represented a distinct economic model that sought to transcend both liberal capitalism and Marxist socialism. The "socialism" in National Socialism was understood not as the abolition of private property nor the dictatorship of the proletariat, but as a system in which rank and status were determined by ability, talent, and achievement rather than by wealth alone. In the National Socialist perspective, the nation and the race stood above all other values; consequently, the rights of the individual and private property were subordinated to the individual's duty toward the
Volkgemeinschaft. Private property was retained as a fundamental privilege tied to a person's ownership of their own labor, yet all property was ultimately conceived as common property of the
German Volk. The property owner functioned merely as a manager or steward responsible to the national community for fulfilling duties such as meeting demand and making proper use of resources. This principle found classic expression in Rudolf Jung's slogan, "common interest before private interests" (Gemeinnutz geht vor Eigennutz).
The theoretical core of the National Socialist economic program was largely shaped by
Gottfried Feder, an economist who played a pivotal early role in drawing Adolf Hitler into the NSDAP. Feder framed his ideas as a dual struggle against
"Mammonism", an egoistic system rooted in the love of money that subordinated national interests to financial gain, as well as against
Communism, which he similarly regarded as a form of egoism and a revolt against civilization. According to Feder, the primary source of Germany's economic distress, and that of other nations, lay in the burdensome interest payments owed to large international loan capital. This system, which he termed "interest-slavery" (Zinsknechtschaft), had indebted entire nations to high finance, turning governments into tax collectors on behalf of international creditors who extracted ever greater sums from working populations. Feder characterized this as an "international fraud." He argued that the power of international finance had grown so formidable that it could encircle and undermine any nation, such as Germany, attempting to achieve monetary strength and independence. Following military defeat in the First World War, this financial power enforced additional debt burdens through the Treaty of Versailles. As a remedy, Feder proposed the cancellation of interest payments on these debts and, more fundamentally, the legal abolition of interest itself. He advocated for nationalized, interest-free banking and the state's direct issuance of money. Rather than borrowing from private banks, the state should finance large public works through its own interest-free notes. The Reichsbank's authority to issue currency was to be regained through nationalization. In this vision, a state freed from interest burdens could eventually operate in a largely tax-free manner, as outlined in Feder's discussions of "the state without taxes." Overall, Feder's program called for the abolition of all unearned income, specifically income not arising from productive work, prioritizing the productive laborer over the speculative capitalist. He sharply criticized stock markets for separating capital from actual labor and advocated an economic value system grounded in effort and work performed.
In practice, the economy of the Reich was reorganized according to the principles of leadership (Führerprinzip) and the Volkgemeinschaft, drawing heavily on the
Fascist model of the
corporative state while also referencing the existing phenomenon of cartels as a practical organizational template. National Socialism explicitly rejected the Marxist emphasis on class struggle, promoting instead the idea that "Germans should work for Germans" and seeking to realize a classless national community through corporative organization. The category of "employee" and "employer" was to be dissolved in favor of unified productive units serving the nation. A key instrument was the requirement that all workers hold a labor book (Arbeitsbuch) documenting their employment history, skills, and political reliability. Changing jobs required approval from the previous employer, limiting workers' ability to exploit wage differences across firms. This system reached its fullest expression in the Law for the Organization of National Labour of 1934. The law replaced both Marxist class conflict and liberal collective bargaining with the concept of the factory community (Betriebsgemeinschaft). Within each workplace, the employer assumed the role of enterprise leader (Betriebsführer), directing operations, while workers and salaried staff formed the workforce community (Gefolgschaft). These groups were bound together through principles of fidelity (Treue), honor (Ehre), and mutual confidence (gegenseitiges Vertrauen), all oriented toward the success of the enterprise and the greater national good. Independent trade unions, collective contracts, and class-based workers' councils were eliminated. Instead, labor relations were managed directly within enterprises. Every business with twenty or more employees was required to form a Council of Trust (Vertrauensrat), with two to ten members drawn from the staff. Although workers over twenty-one could vote secretly on a proposed list of candidates, management largely determined the slate. Unlike
Weimar-era works councils that represented labor as a distinct interest, the Council of Trust aimed to transcend class divisions by fostering partnership within the enterprise. Its responsibilities included advising on workplace regulations, improving conditions, strengthening internal solidarity, and resolving disputes. This cooperation operated within a clear hierarchy, with the enterprise leader holding ultimate authority. The state oversaw the entire framework through labor trustees and honor courts that enforced duties on both sides and upheld the ideals of unity, loyalty, and service to the nation.
National Socialist leaders envisioned further evolution of the economic system toward
greater planning after the anticipated victorious conclusion of the war.
Adolf Hitler expressed admiration on multiple occasions for elements of the
Soviet economic model. “If Stalin had continued to work for another ten to fifteen years,” he said at a small group meeting in August 1942, “Soviet Russia would have become the most powerful nation on earth, 150, 200, 300 years may go by, that is such a unique phenomenon! That the general standard of living rose, there can be no doubt. The people did not suffer from hunger. Taking everything together we have to say: They built factories here where two years ago there was nothing but forgotten villages, factories which are as big as the Hermann Göring Works.”
Hitler and other figures indicated that large joint-stock companies, the energy sector, and branches producing essential raw materials (such as iron) would be nationalized in the event of peacetime. However, wartime conditions were not considered suitable for such radical measures. Efforts were made to reassure the
business community and avoid provoking opposition. A memorandum from SS chief
Heinrich Himmler in October 1942 emphasized that a fundamental restructuring of Germany's capitalistic economy could not occur during the war, warning that attempts to push such changes would trigger backlash. This pragmatism reflected the broader National Socialist stance that the
liberal economic order had placed
business above the state, whereas National Socialism insisted on the reverse:
the state directs the economy, and business exists to serve the state and the national community. As described by
Mises, the pattern practiced by National Socialism was characterized by the fact that it maintained, although only nominally, some institutions of the old capitalist economy. Labor was no longer a commodity, and the labor market was abolished through the corporative system. The government fixed wage rates and assigned every worker the place where he must work. The entrepreneurs were reduced to the status of shop managers (Betriebsführer). The government told them what and how to produce according to economic plans, at what prices and from whom to buy, at what prices and to whom to sell. Business may remonstrate against inexpedient injunctions, but the final decision rested with the authorities.
Lebensraum and Expansionism 
[edit]Lebensraum, German for "living space," constituted a foundational element of National Socialist ideology, asserting that the German Volk required expansive territory in Eastern Europe to accommodate population growth, ensure agricultural self-sufficiency, and fulfill its racial destiny as a superior people, through the conquest, exploitation, and systematic removal of Slavic, Jewish, and other populations deemed racially inferior. The doctrine, drawing from earlier geopolitical theories but radically transformed into a justification for aggressive expansionism and genocidal policies, was explicitly articulated by Adolf Hitler in Mein Kampf (1925), where he rejected overseas colonialism in favor of eastward Drang nach Osten to acquire arable land and resources, viewing Russia as a primary target due to its vast spaces and weakened Bolshevik regime. This vision underpinned Nazi military campaigns, including the 1939 invasion of Poland and Operation Barbarossa in 1941, and informed planning documents such as Generalplan Ost, which projected the ethnic cleansing and resettlement of over 30 million people to create a Germanic colonial empire. The policy's implementation resulted in mass deportations, forced labor, starvation, and extermination, intertwining territorial ambition with the Holocaust and broader racial reconfiguration of Europe
Adolf Hitler first systematically formulated the concept of Lebensraum in Mein Kampf, published in two volumes in July 1925 and December 1926, as a geopolitical imperative for the German people. He argued that Germany's survival required expanding its territorial base to accommodate population growth and ensure self-sufficiency in food and resources, rejecting the pre-World War I focus on overseas colonies or alliances in the south and west. Instead, Hitler directed expansion toward Eastern Europe, particularly Russia and its border states, which he viewed as underutilized lands suitable for German colonization due to the supposed racial inferiority of Slavic populations. This vision tied Lebensraum to racial struggle, positing that stronger races had a natural right to conquer and settle the territories of weaker ones.
The economic rationale for Lebensraum emphasized securing agricultural territories and raw materials to attain
autarky, thereby mitigating Germany's vulnerability to import disruptions during wartime. In the 1930s, Nazi Germany relied on imports for approximately 20 percent of its food supplies and 33 percent of raw materials, a dependency viewed as incompatible with aspirations for great-power status. Hitler contended that reliance on international trade exposed nations to blockade risks, advocating instead for territorial expansion eastward to exploit fertile lands like Ukraine's black soil for grain production and to reduce urban proletarianization through peasant resettlement. This policy aligned with the 1936 Four-Year Plan under Hermann Göring, which prioritized synthetic substitutes but ultimately deferred full autarky to conquests providing natural resources and labor. Demographically, Lebensraum addressed perceived overpopulation pressures in Germany, where a populace of about 70 million in the late 1930s occupied a territory of roughly 470,000 square kilometers, yielding high density compared to the vast, purportedly underutilized expanses of Eastern Europe. Adolf Hitler articulated this in Mein Kampf (1925), arguing that Germany's post-Versailles confinement demanded reorientation eastward: "We National Socialists... halt the endless German movement to the south and west of Europe, and turn our gaze toward the lands of the east... If we speak of soil in Europe today, we can primarily have in mind only Russia and her vassal border states." Nazi ideologues framed expansion as essential for sustaining a growing Aryan population, promoting high birth rates via programs like Lebensborn while envisioning resettlement of millions of ethnic Germans to alleviate domestic crowding and foster rural vitality over urban decay. Racial motives intertwined with these imperatives, positing that only the superior Germanic race merited the eastern territories, which inferior Slavic peoples were deemed incapable of properly cultivating or governing. Hitler integrated this into his worldview, likening German eastward advance to historical migrations where stronger races displaced weaker ones, with Bolshevik rule in the Soviet Union portrayed as evidence of Slavic unfitness. The Generalplan Ost (1941–1942), devised by Heinrich Himmler's SS, formalized this by planning the depopulation of 30 to 50 million Slavs through starvation, expulsion, or extermination to clear space for German colonists, reflecting a causal belief that racial hierarchy justified demographic engineering for long-term Aryan dominance. Such views drew from völkisch traditions but were radicalized under Nazism to prioritize biological purity over mere economic gain.
Volksgemeinschaft 
[edit]The term Volksgemeinschaft translates, as near as is possible, to “people’s ethnic community”. National Socialism envisaged this as a racially exclusive organic society of unequals which nevertheless was somehow going to be classless and harmonious, or at least class position was to be regarded as irrelevant. “Equality of blood” or “equality of race” rather than economic equality was both an ideal and a putative key to creating social harmony, and was instrumental in the issuing of the 1935 Nuremberg Laws outlawing marriage or relations between Jews and non-Jews.
The
Völkisch ideology, emerging from 19th-century
romantic nationalism, laid the intellectual groundwork for the concept of a
Volksgemeinschaft by conceptualizing the nation as an organic racial entity unified by blood, soil, and cultural essence rather than
liberal or
class-based structures. This movement gained momentum following
Johann Gottlieb Fichte's Addresses to the German Nation, delivered amid Prussian defeat by Napoleon, which urged spiritual and cultural regeneration through a purified German Volk defined by shared language and heritage, excluding alien influences. Ferdinand Tönnies' 1887 work Gemeinschaft und Gesellschaft further refined this by contrasting organic, kinship-based community (Gemeinschaft), which was tied to rural traditions, familial bonds, and racial continuity, with artificial, urban contractual society (Gesellschaft), ideas that prefigured the National Socialist rejection of modernity in favor of a hierarchical racial collective.
The idea of a Volksgemeinschaft was rooted in the notion of uniting people across class divides to achieve a national purpose, and the hope that national unity would "obliterate all conflicts - between employers and employees, town and countryside, producers and consumers, industry and craft". Nazi Germany promoted the "Volksgemeinschaft" (people's community) as needing protection from internal threats like Jews, communists, and dissenters.
Accordingly, Nazi legal theory divided all Germans into two categories, namely the Volksgenossen ("Fellow Members") who belonged to the Volksgemeinschaft and the Gemeinschaftsfremde ("Community Aliens") who did not. In addition to the duties and responsibilities shared by those in the community, the Volksgenossen were expected to build and create a "Volksgeist" ("Volk spirit") that would encompass the best aspects of the German people. As such, community aliens could not belong, since they were deemed an undermining element in the very foundations of the "Volksgemeinschaft". The list of those usually classified as Gemeinschaftsfremde were alcoholics, tramps, homosexuals, prostitutes, the 'work-shy' or the 'asocial', habitual criminals, the hereditarily ill (a widely defined category), Communists, Socialists, Social Democrats, and members of non-Aryan races.
Gender Roles and Maternalism
[edit]A core element of society under National Socialism is the basic family structure, with mothers producing and
fathers providing, under the basis of the 3Ks: kinder (Children), küche (Kitchen), kirche (Church). Proponents argued that women's highest fulfillment and contribution to the nation lay in bearing and raising racially healthy offspring, thereby strengthening the German people demographically and spiritually. The National Socialist worldview rejected the liberal and Weimar-era trends toward greater female emancipation, viewing them as corrosive to family stability and racial vitality. Instead, it promoted maternalism as a patriotic duty, elevating the role of the mother as essential to the survival and expansion of the Aryan race.
This emphasis on maternalism was a direct response to the sharply declining birth rates observed during the Weimar Republic, which National Socialists attributed to economic instability, liberal individualism, and moral decay. Upon taking power in 1933, the regime implemented a comprehensive set of natalist policies designed to reverse this trend and boost population growth. Financial incentives included interest-free or low-interest marriage loans for newlyweds, with portions of the debt forgiven for each child born. Additional grants, child allowances, and tax breaks were extended to larger families. The "Mother's Cross" (Ehrenkreuz der Deutschen Mutter) was introduced as a state decoration awarded in bronze, silver, or gold to women who bore four, six, or eight or more children, respectively, publicly honoring their service to the nation. Abortion was severely restricted and largely banned for healthy Aryan women, while access to contraceptives was limited. Propaganda campaigns, educational materials, and organizations such as the NS-Frauenschaft (National Socialist Women's League) reinforced the message that motherhood was women's primary civic responsibility. These measures proved effective in the short term: the average number of children per woman rose from approximately 1.6 in 1933 to around 2.6 by 1940.
Despite the strong ideological preference for women remaining in the domestic sphere, pragmatic adjustments occurred, particularly as the demands of rearmament and later total war required female labor in certain sectors. Even then, National Socialist rhetoric continued to frame women's workforce participation as temporary and secondary to their maternal role, with policies encouraging a swift return to the home after the crisis. The regime also tied maternalism to eugenic principles, promoting the reproduction of "racially valuable" families while discouraging or preventing reproduction among those deemed unfit through measures such as forced sterilization under the Law for the Prevention of Hereditarily Diseased Offspring. Marriage and family policies were further aligned with racial hygiene goals, including requirements for health certificates and the prohibition of marriages between Germans and Jews or other groups classified as racially alien.
National Socialism presented this gendered order not as mere traditionalism but as a rejection of both progressive egalitarianism and liberal individualism in favor of a harmonious, hierarchical Volkgemeinschaft. Women were not excluded from public life entirely; they participated in party-affiliated groups, youth organizations like the League of German Girls (BDM), and welfare activities. However, leadership positions and political authority remained overwhelmingly male domains, consistent with the leadership principle. The ultimate aim was demographic and racial strength: a growing population of healthy German children raised in stable families to support the nation's military, economic, and cultural ambitions. This maternalist policy complex thus intertwined family policy, economic incentives, propaganda, and racial ideology into a coherent program for societal regeneration.
Social Darwinism and Eugenics 
[edit]Social Darwinism and eugenics formed a foundational element of the regime's biological worldview, framing human society, history, and politics through the lens of natural laws of struggle, selection, and hereditary improvement. Drawing on interpretations of Charles Darwin's theories as adapted by 19th- and early 20th-century Social Darwinists, as well as influences from philosophers such as Heraclitus (emphasizing eternal flux and strife as the "father of all things") and a selective reading of
Friedrich Nietzsche's concepts like the will to power, National Socialists viewed existence as an unending biological struggle in which stronger individuals, traits, and groups prevailed over weaker ones. Adolf Hitler articulated this perspective extensively in Mein Kampf, portraying history as a racial contest for survival and dominance in which the Aryan race, understood as culturally and biologically superior, represented the pinnacle of human achievement. For Hitler and other Nazi ideologues, superior individuals and races naturally rose through merit, power, and achievement, justifying a hierarchical social order rather than egalitarian democracy.
This biological worldview posited several interlocking "laws of nature." The Law of Struggle (Kampfgesetz) saw the universe in constant flux, compelling adaptation and producing selection; without struggle, there could be no progress or life. The Law of Fertility ensured a surplus of offspring so that selection could operate effectively, while the Law of Inheritance transmitted heritable traits, allowing for directed improvement across generations. National Socialists rejected liberal democracy and idealism as artificial systems that ignored these laws, leading to racial degeneration. Instead, they advocated acknowledging and aligning society with natural processes through a totalitarian commitment to racial preservation and enhancement. The Volkskörper, the "national body" or ethnic body politic, served as a central metaphor, conceiving the German people as a living biological organism that needed protection from internal "parasites," "diseases," or "pests" (often antisemitically coded references to Jews, the disabled, or other groups deemed harmful). This organic understanding underpinned policies aimed at purifying and strengthening the racial collective.
Central to this framework was the Führerprinzip, which Hitler linked to Social Darwinist selection. Leadership was not based on democratic equality but on a deliberate hierarchy emerging from racial value, character, and ability. The National Socialists wished to eliminate all privileges of class, in favour of all Volksgenossen being evaluated equally in opportunity, with outcomes differing according to merit. The most capable would rise to the top, forming a pyramidal structure with the Führer at its apex. Hitler's own ascent and the expansion of German power were interpreted as manifestations of the will to power, adapted here as the drive for domination and racial assertion, through which superior Aryan traits enabled mastery over "lesser" peoples. War and conquest were seen as legitimate expressions of this struggle, expanding living space (Lebensraum) and allowing the stronger race to prevail.
Eugenics, or "racial hygiene" (Rassenhygiene), translated these ideas into practical policy aimed at improving the genetic quality of the Volk. Positive eugenics encouraged reproduction among those deemed racially valuable, through incentives for large "Aryan" families and propaganda glorifying motherhood and healthy lineage. Negative eugenics, however, focused on preventing the transmission of "undesirable" traits. The 1933 Law for the Prevention of Hereditarily Diseased Offspring mandated compulsory sterilization for individuals with conditions such as schizophrenia, epilepsy, or hereditary blindness. This escalated into the Aktion T4 program (initiated in 1939), a secret "euthanasia" effort that systematically killed tens of thousands of institutionalized disabled adults and children deemed "life unworthy of life" (lebensunwertes Leben), using gas chambers and other methods. These programs were justified as defending the health of the Volkskörper, eliminating economic burdens, and aligning human society with nature's selective processes. Physicians and scientists, viewing Nazism as "applied biology," played prominent roles in implementation.
Overall, National Socialist Social Darwinism and eugenics rejected supernatural or egalitarian notions in favor of a materialist, race-based understanding of morality and progress. The goal was the conscious cultivation of a stronger, purer Aryan race capable of enduring and dominating in the eternal struggle. While rooted in broader European currents of racial thought and eugenics, the Nazi application was radicalized by its integration with state power, antisemitism, and expansionist ambitions, shaping policies from marriage laws and education to wartime extermination programs. This biological imperative remained a consistent thread in Nazi ideology from the 1920s through the end of the regime.
Gottgläubig
[edit]Gottgläubigkeit, often rendered in English as "belief in God" or "God-believing," was a National Socialist religious category and movement that emerged in the 1930s as part of the regime's broader efforts to reduce the influence of organized Christian churches while maintaining a form of theistic belief aligned with Nazi ideology. The term referred to individuals who had formally left the Protestant or Catholic churches but professed faith in a higher power or divine creator without affiliation to any specific denomination. Officially recognized by the Reich Ministry of the Interior in November 1936, gottgläubig served as a nondenominational descriptor on government records, distinguishing such persons from both church members and the glaubenslos (irreligious or without faith). In the May 1939 census, approximately 3.5% of the German population (around 2.7 million people) identified as Gottgläubig. The proportion was significantly higher among Nazi Party members (estimated at 20–25%) and particularly within the SS, where rates reached about 25% overall and much higher in leadership and security branches.
The development of Gottgläubigkeit reflected the upper echelons of the Nazi Party's conclusion that core elements of their racial-nationalist worldview were ultimately incompatible with traditional Christianity, even as public commitment to "Positive Christianity" was maintained for pragmatic reasons in the early years of the regime. Positive Christianity, referenced in the 1920 NSDAP party program, had sought to promote a de-Judaized, nationalist version of the faith that emphasized action and racial morality over doctrine. However, as efforts to portray Jesus as an Aryan figure proved untenable and church-state tensions grew, party leaders shifted toward a policy of de-confessionalization. Interior Minister Wilhelm Frick advocated cautiously diminishing the cultural and identificatory role of religious communities without fully severing legal ties between the state and churches. Rudolf Hess advanced this further with measures to purge religious influence from the party apparatus. In 1935, Hess directed senior party figures to refrain from interfering in church matters. Subsequent decrees banned party members from joining Christian student groups (1936), participating in religious events in uniform (1936), and attending denominational gatherings while in party attire (1937), with limited exceptions such as funerals. Martin Bormann played a key role in surveillance of clergy and enforcement of these policies. These steps targeted institutional Christianity, particularly the Catholic press and inter-church communication, while framing the approach as ensuring state and ecclesiastical neutrality.
Gottgläubigkeit was explicitly positioned as distinct from and often opposed to Christianity. It rejected the institutional structures, dogmas, and "Jewish spirit" that National Socialists associated with the faith, denouncing the Bible as a product of "Jewish fabulism" and criticizing Catholic formalism in particular. Adolf Hitler expressed indifference to Christian dogmas and described an ideal form of worship as solemn, heroic, and free of theological disputes or ritualistic elements. Instead, Gottgläubigkeit drew on deistic and creationist ideas, viewing God as manifest in the laws of Nature and the cosmic order. Nature itself was seen as the living expression of the Creator's will, with the evolution of the cosmos and the racial Volk reflecting divine principles. National Socialism was thus understood as aligning with these natural laws rather than opposing them. Believers often identified the NSDAP and especially the SS as a new form of spiritual community or "church," with the Führer figure embodying the worldview. Heinrich Himmler, who left the Catholic Church and promoted gottgläubig status within the SS, articulated a belief in an Almighty God who created the Earth, the Fatherland, and the Volk, and who had sent the Führer. He explicitly prohibited atheism in the SS, regarding it as arrogant and incompatible with the organization's discipline and sense of higher purpose.
The movement's vague and undogmatic character allowed flexibility, blending elements of deism, Germanic reverence for nature, and racial mysticism without a fixed theology or centralized religious authority. It repudiated both organized Christianity and materialistic atheism (the latter associated with Marxism), insisting on a form of piety and morality "appropriate to the German species." For many adherents, particularly in elite Nazi circles, Gottgläubigkeit served as an ideological bridge: a way to maintain spiritual language and a sense of transcendence while subordinating religion entirely to the needs of the Volkgemeinschaft and the racial state. Though never becoming a mass phenomenon among the general population, it held outsized significance within the party and SS as a marker of commitment to a church-free, National Socialist-oriented religiosity. Its promotion reflected the regime's broader pattern of seeking to transform or sideline traditional institutions in service of its worldview, even as most ordinary Germans continued to identify with Christian denominations.
Variants
[edit]
Divide within Nazi circles 
[edit]Often (Serious) Nazi circles have a strong disdain for Neo-Nazis
and are shown to often break the mainstream view of Aryanism. Nazism (In a serious sense) is seen as organic. In these circles (Mostly) they view Nazism as being able to be applied to any Aryan nation. Example: France can possibly support Esoteric Nazism since the connection with Blood and Soil regarding the Franks and among other forms. Other subjects within these circles are Slavs
and Asians
. There are more modern divergences and serious debates in underground discord and telegram channels.

National Socialism Association/Taiwanese Nazism
[edit]The National Socialism Association (NSA) was created by Hsu Na-chi and Chao Lahn, citing dissatisfaction towards the political factions in Taiwan as one of the factors of founding the NSA. The association stresses on the "restoration of Confucianism" and "fostering greater nationalism in Taiwan", while denying claims of antisemitism and racism despite Confucianism and Nazism are contradictory and incompatible, specifically in terms on stances towards meritocracy.
Personality and Behaviour
[edit]Nazism is typically portrayed as easily annoyed and quickly prone to violence. He is incredibly anti-semitic and will also often kill anyone who calls him a "leftist", as well as any other ideology he does not identify with. He speaks with a thick, stereotypical German (or in several cases, Austrian) accent.
How it acts
[edit]Nazism prefers to solve its problems by gassing and burning them. Human beings are no exception. Anyone considered an “Untermensch” (subhuman in German) will be thrown into a concentration/death camp by Nazism if he sees them. One way to tell if someone you know is considered an Untermensch is if Nazism puts three sets of parenthesis "((()))" around his/her name or pronouns. Nazism also uses the triple parenthesis to refer to entire groups he doesn’t like, mainly
Jews. In practice, Nazism see genocide as a last resort, hence the term "Final Solution", and prefer to "humanely" deport Untermensch or use them as slave labor.
Aesthetics
[edit](the general aesthetics of the ideology)
Stylistic Notes
[edit]Nazism can be depicted as a talented and compelling villain, antagonist of the year, 80 years running apart from being a stereotypical yandere. However, he could also be depicted just as easily as a raving, incoherent, opportunistic maniac. His weapon of choice is the stylish Luger Pistole Parabellum or occasionally a flammenwerfer.
How to draw
[edit]Symbols
[edit][!] Note: Some countries and social media platforms (especially Facebook) banned Nazi imageries such as this flag, therefore for the censored version, replace the swastika with the Iron Cross/+/f letter (Refer Polandball guidelines on drawing swastika)/Poorly-drawn swastika (refer Hale Hortler meme) symbol.
Flags
[edit]The flag is based on the flag of Nazi Germany, used between 1933 to 1945 or the party flag of the NSDAP.

Props
[edit]Nazism is almost always wearing Hitler's peak cap/Stahlhelm/Wehrmacht military cap or Schutzstaffel uniform.

Admit it, you zink I’m one of ze most based ideologies out zere. Not really? Fine, but I was still dismayed to see you hung up like that, that's why I offed myself.

Staats-Shinto - I zaid eine kouple of zings in your favor: "Why didn't we have the religion of the Japanese, who regard sacrifice for the Fatherland as the highest good?" + "It is very curious that devout Christians like the British and the Americans should, despite their constant and fervent prayers, receive such a series of hidings from the pagan Japanese! It rather looks as if the real God takes no notice of the prayers offered day and night by the British and the Americans, but reserves His mercies for the heroes of Japan. It is not surprising that this should be so, for the religion of the Japanese is above all a cult of heroism, and its heroes are those who do not hesitate to sacrifice their lives for the glory and safety of their country. The Christians, on the other hand, prefer to honour the Saints, that is to say, a man who succeeds in standing on one leg for years at a time, or one who prefers to lie on a bed of thorns rather than to respond to the smiles of inviting maidens. There is something very unhealthy about Christianity."

Der Juden - "Once I really am in power, my first and foremost task will be the annihilation of the Jews. As soon as I have the power to do so, I will have gallows built in rows—at the Marienplatz in Munich, for example—as many as traffic allows. Then the Jews will be hanged indiscriminately, and they will remain hanging until they stink; they will hang there as long as the principles of hygiene permit. As soon as they have been untied, the next batch will be strung up, and so on down the line, until the last Jew in Munich has been exterminated. Other cities will follow suit, precisely in this fashion, until all Germany has been completely cleansed of Jews."

Those very same people who brandish Teutonic tin swords and wear tanned bearskins, with ox horns mounted over their bearded faces... scatter when the first communist cudgel appears. Posterity will have little occasion to write a new epic about their heroic existence...And yet these comedians are extremely proud of themselves. Notwithstanding their proven incompetence, they pretend to know everything better than other people-so much so that they become a real plague to all sincere and honest patriots, to whom not only the heroism of the past is worthy of honor, but who also feel bound to leave examples of their own work for the inspiration of posterity." — Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf Also, fick dich for 20 Juli, du Arsch!

Quotes
[edit]“National Socialism derives from each of the two camps the pure idea that characterizes it, national resolution from bourgeois tradition; vital, creative socialism from the teaching of Marxism.”
“The Germany of today is a National Socialist State. The ideology that dominates us is in diametrical contradiction to that of Soviet Russia. National Socialism is a doctrine that has reference exclusively to the German people. Bolshevism lays stress on international mission. We National Socialists believe a man can, in the long run, be happy only among his own people. We are convinced the happiness and achievements of Europe are indissolubly tied up with the continuation of the system of independent and free national States. Bolshevism preaches the establishment of a world empire and recognizes only section of a central international. We National Socialists grant each people the right to its own inner life according to its needs and its own nature. Bolshevism, on the other hand, establishes doctrinal theories that are to be accepted by all peoples, regardless of their particular essence, their special nature, traditions, etc. National Socialism speaks up for the solution of social problems, issues and tensions in their own nation, with methods that are consistent with our common human, spiritual, cultural, and economic beliefs, traditions and conditions. Bolshevism preaches the international class struggle, the international world revolution with the weapons of the terror and the violence. National Socialism fights for the reconciliation and consequent adjustment of the difference in life and the union of all for common benefits. Bolshevism teaches the overcoming of an alleged class rule by the dictatorship of the power of different class. Naitonal Socialism does not attach importance to a only theoretical rule of the working class, but especially on the practical improvement of their living conditions and standard of living. Bolshevism fights for a theory and, for it, sacrifices millions of people, immense values of traditional culture and traditions, and achieves, compared with us, only a very low standard of living for all. As National Socialists, our hearts are full with admiration and respect for the great achievements of the past, not only in our own people but also far beyond. We are happy to belong to a European cultural community that has so tremendously embossed today's world with a stamp of its mind. Bolshevism rejects this cultural achievement of mankind, claiming that has found the beginning of the real cultural and human history in the year of birth of Marxism. We, National Socialists, do not want to be of the same opinion as our church organizations in this or that organizational question. But we never want a lack of belief in religion or any faith, and do not wish that our churches become club-houses or cinemas. Bolshevism teaches the godlessness and acts accordingly.”
“Socialism as the final concept of duty, the ethical duty of work, not just for oneself but also for one's fellow man's sake, and above all the principle: Common good before own good, a struggle against all parasitism and especially against easy and unearned income.”
”Our fight is with money. Work alone will help us, not money. We must smash interest slavery. Our fight is with the races that represent money.”
”... And if we ask who was responsble for our misfortune, then we must inquire who profited by our collapse. And the answer to that question is that 'Banks and Stock Exchanges are more flourishing than ever before.' We were told that capitalism would be destroyed, and when we ventured to remind one or the other of these famous statesmen and said 'Don't forget that Jews too have capital,' then the answer was: 'What are you worried about? Capitalism as a whole will now be destroyed, the whole people will now be free. We are not fighting Jewish or Christian capitalism, we are fighting very capitalism: we are making the people completely free.' ... It is only the international Stock Exchange and loan-capital, the so-called 'supra-state capital', which has profited from the collapse of our economic life, the capital which receives its character from the single supra-state nation which itself is national to the core, which fancies itself to be above all other nations, which places itself above other nations and which already rules over them. The international Stock Exchange capital would be unthinkable, it would never have come, without its founders the supra-national, because intensely national, Jews.”
“Is there a nobler and more excellent kind of Socialism and there is a truer form of Democracy than this National Socialism which is so organized that through it each one among the millions of German boys is given the possibility of finding his way to the highest office in the nation, should it please Providence to come to his aid. ... Then, when these children grow up, they will use their feet to cast aside all this party rubbish, and in every district they will elect the man, the only one, who represents them and goes to the Reichstag on their behalf. Only then will we see true democracy!”

[edit]Notes
[edit]- ↑ Hitler took many inspirations from Darwin's theory of evolution and appropriated it in shaping his racial Darwinist view of human history, though he wasn't familiar with Darwin until after 1923. And yet, while Hitler believed that evolutionary theory justified his destructive and oppressive vision, this does not undermine the theory's basis; what people do with an idea has no bearing on the scientific validity of that idea. Using Hitler's supposed belief in evolution as an argument against evolutionary science is an example of the logical fallacy of an argument from adverse consequences, suggesting that we should not accept the theory of evolution because it could lead to the kind of racist views perpetuated by Hitler. It is also an example of the post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy, implying that because Darwin's theory came into being before Hitler's racism, the former necessarily caused the latter. Even if there were connections between the theory of evolution, social Darwinism and the Holocaust, this does not imply that evolution is a dangerous theory, only that Hitler perverted the theory to justify his beliefs and actions.
- ↑ Throughout World War II, Hitler often compared himself to Frederick II the Great, and he kept a copy of Anton Graff's portrait of Frederick with him to the end in the Führerbunker in Berlin.
- ↑ Although he both privately and publicly hated capitalism in his understanding, Hitler held admiration towards Henry Ford and his antisemitism. "I wish I could send some of my shock troops to Chicago and other big American cities to help in the elections. We look on Heinrich Ford as the leader of the growing fascist movement in America. We admire particularly his anti-Jewish policy which is the Bavarian fascist platform."
- ↑ According to leftists and some historians.
- ↑ TIKhistory believes that Hitler held Gnostic views, though it is rather debatable.
- ↑ Hitler believed in the idea of a strongman, Übermensch, etc.
- ↑ "Of course, the latter made no secret of his attitude toward the Jewish people, and when necessary he even took the whip to drive from the temple of the Lord this adversary of all humanity, who then as always saw in religion nothing but an instrument for his business existence. In return, Christ was nailed to the cross, while our present-day party Christians debase themselves to begging for Jewish votes at elections and later try to arrange political swindles with atheistic Jewish parties - and this against their own nation." -
Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf
- ↑ Hitler would refer to himself as a "True Socialist" and claimed that he was taking the word back from the Marxists. It is worth noting, however, that both Hitler himself and the National Socialist ideology as a whole regarded the word "socialism" as a synonym for the word "nationalism".
- ↑ Ernst Thälmann and the Communist Party of Germany targeted Social Democrat politicians instead because they thought Nazis coming to power would accelerate the collapse of capitalism, which at the time seemed preferable to the slow and reformist nature of moderate Marxists in the SDP

Instead, they believed in class collaboration via the Volksgemeinschaft. Ironically, both domestically and when it came to foreign policy, the Nazis weren’t above working with businessmen sympathetic to their cause if it helped them achieve their political goals. (E.g. Krupp, IG Farben and Henry Ford.)

- ↑ While his ideas concerning race were influential, it should be noted that Spengler was against the racist biology of Nazism and its policies based on the distinction between the "Aryan" and Jewish races. He considered antisemitism to be a simplistic solution to the problems of the time. Spengler's books were banned during the Third Reich. His metaphysical vision of race can be presented as independent from National Socialism.

One was on the right side of the barricade and the other on the left, and I climbed right between these two combatants, onto the barricade itself, and was therefore shot at by both, of course; I tried to define a new concept under the motto that, ultimately, nationalism and socialism are the same thing under one condition, namely that the people are placed at the centre of everything worth striving for… At that time, I had to fight hard battles on both the left and the right."

https://journals.openedition.org/elohi/553 - ↑ "‘If there had not been a danger of Bolshevism spreading to Europe,’ Hitler said during a dinner conversation on 19–20 February 1942, ‘I would not have put a stop to the revolution in Spain: the clergy would have been exterminated! If the clergy were to come to power here, Europe would relapse into the Dark Ages!’ Hitler repeatedly criticised Franco’s pro-church policies. It was precisely the ‘priests and monarchists, who are also mortal enemies of the German national revival’, who, according to Hitler on 7 June 1942, had joined forces in Spain to seize control of the people. One should therefore ‘not be surprised if one day a new civil war were to break out, in which the Falangists would have to join forces with the Reds to get the better of the priestly and monarchist vermin.’ This remark shows that Hitler was politically far closer to ‘the Reds’ than to reactionary monarchists and clerical forces."
(...)
"Hitler remarked self-critically that it had been a mistake to ally himself with a regime ‘which enjoys my sympathy less than ever, a regime of plutocratic exploiters on the leash of the clergy!’ It was an unforgivable mistake on Franco’s part that, after the end of the Civil War, he failed to win over the Spanish people, ‘that he sidelined the Falangists, to whom Spain owes the aid we provided, and that he treated former opponents—who by no means were all genuine Reds—as bandits. It is no solution to place half a country outside the law, whilst a minority of exploiters enrich themselves to the detriment of all, with the blessing of the clergy. I am certain that there were very few communists among the so-called Reds in Spain. We have been deceived, for had I known the true facts, I would never have agreed to our aircraft being used to exterminate starving people and to restore the Spanish nobility and black-coated officials to their medieval privileges.’"
