Hitler was a Leftist


One of the single biggest myths perpetrated by the Left today is that Hitler and the Nazis were right-wingers and some how like conservatives. Don’t be fooled by this communist propaganda.

Pages:

Hitler was a Socialist

Hitler’s Anti-Tobacco Campaign

Hitler’s Animal Rights Campaign

Hitler’s Persecution of Christian Churches

Nazi Gun Control

Hitler Pro-Abortion

Hitler’s Leftist Economic Policies

Homosexuality in the Nazi Party

Hitler’s Euthanasia Initiative

Fascism is Leftist

Kangas Myths

And so forth.

And guess what? This isn’t the end of it. This site is still under construction. Topics like Nazi Eugenics still need covering and their links with Planned Parenthood need to be sleuthed.

Good luck with your endeavor. One of the great lies told by the democraps and their communist brethern in this country is that the Nazi's were right wingers. I can remember people going on the defensive when that charge was leveled. I think we're better prepared now to turn that approach right back where it belongs--on the democraps and their communist brethern. As someone else stated--it is National SOCIALIST party. In Hitler speak that's NSDAP-National SOCIALIST german WORKERS party.

Nothing new about this info! Only lestists claim Hitler was a right-winger.

Fascism is, also, the brand of ideology favored by democrats.HRC is a fascist! And that is definitely left-wing!

Hitler was a socialist who became a totalitarian dictator.

He didn't care for Jews so he tried to kill them all. He didn't like Poles, French, Russians or Brits either.

Soon, he despised Americans. Reminds me of one of my uncles. HA!

Certainly, he campaigned on many of the themes of the modern Left, including antisemitism. So, Hitler's own followers and the voters in general thought they were voting for socialism of some sort.

Naturally, Hitler had to dispose of his SA military because they expected him to fulfill his Leftist political platform. But he cut deals with the army and big business and liquidated the annoying and demanding SA. This was the point where he turned despotic.

I'd say that Hitler campaigned as a candidate of the Left to gain power but, once in office, saw the advantages of eliminating the socialist premise which helped bring him to power and instead implemented a totalitarian nationlist state with strong racial ideology. A true socialist regime would have been a totalitarian socialist regime like the old USSR and Hitler never desired to establish such a state.

Fascism and marxism are both authoritarian on the left. Fascism was better described by Mousolini as the partnership between corporations and government, or corporatism.

I am glad this is being mentioned.

Hitler was definitely more leftist than rightist.

The only thing that Hitler identified with conservativism (at least in the American form) was his opposition to abortion. But, his opposition to abortion was not for moral reasons...but for other reasons.

I would like to add some more in regard to Hitler and the Left. I may be able to contribute some interesting items. My B.A. is in History and I spent a semester on Hitler and Nazi Germany

Balint Vazsonyi, who died recently, had similar comments:

Gleichschaltung

For a long time, notwithstanding the Hitler-Stalin pact of 1939, I accepted the conventional wisdom that Communism and Nazism were opposites — one on the extreme left, the other on the extreme right.

Perhaps enough time has passed to permit examination in realistic terms of these approaches to social organization, concentrating on essential characteristics and demonstrated aspirations as opposed to clichés. Decades of observation, as well as ceaseless consideration given to the core issues, compel me to look upon these seemingly opposite systems as mirror images, aspiring to a similar outcome, applying identical methods, achieving comparable subjugation of people under their control, spreading the same hopelessness in their paths. While such conclusions have certainly been reached by others, it may be less obvious that Fascism (Nazism) and Communism (Bolshevism) all share their philosophical foundations as well.

Gleichschaltung operated at once on structural and cultural levels. Structurally, the first victim was federalism: within days of Hitler's accession, the states had to cede authority to the central government. Next, the leadership and membership of every kind of organization had to become politically and racially correct. With the task of implementing structural changes assigned to a variety of agencies, as early as March 1933, a separate Cabinet Department was created for Josef Goebbels to oversee every aspect of the cultural scene, making certain that it was politically correct. Specific terms aside, the reality of all these regimes is the great flattening which is in full progress from day one. Since it is not possible to raise anyone's natural level by fiat, the alternative is to force everyone down.

It is astonishing and frightening how little time it took both in Russia and in Germany to accomplish this task. Indeed, it should be noted that demolishing what centuries had built does not require even a single generation.

The next ingredient had to do with groups. While it may appear contradictory to identify groups in a society having just experienced Gleichschaltung, contradictions do not represent obstacles in a totalitarian structure. The identity of groups was as necessary as the levelling had been in order to maintain positive and negative imaging. This constant dichotomy of egalitarianism and group hatred provided a manipulative tool as simple as it was ingenious. Hitler used race and nationality, Lenin and Stalin mostly class — the outcome was the same.

Hitler was a communist before founding the socialist workers party. He spent a few months as a member of the German Communist party after he was discharged from the German Army after WWI.

Somewhere out there are pictures of Hitler with a red armband at a German Communist party meeting in the streets of a German City in the reconstruction era right after WWI. I have seen them.

Somewhere there was a split with the Communist party an Hitler, and the National Socialist Workers Party ( NSWP) was formed.

Hitler to Rauschning

"The party is all-embracing. It rules our lives in all their breadth and depth. We must therefore develop branches of the party in which the whole of individual life will be reflected. Each activity and each need of the individual will thereby be regulated by the party as the representative of the general good. There will be no license, no free space, in which the individual belongs to himself. This is Socialism--not such trifles as the private possession of the means of production."

"Of what importance is that if I range men firmly within a discipline they cannot escape? Let them then own land or factories as much as they please. The decisive factor is that the State, through the party, is supreme over them, regardless whether they are owners or workers. All that, you see, is unessential. Our Socialism goes far deeper...."

"Private property" as conceived under the liberalistic economic order was a reversal of the true concept of property. This "private property" represented the right of the individual to manage and to speculate with inherited or acquired property as he pleased, without regard for the nation."

"I have learned a great deal from Marxism, as I do not hesitate to admit. The difference between them and myself is that I have really put into practice what these peddlers and pen-pushers have timidly begun.... I had only to develop logically what Social Democracy repeatedly failed in because of its attempt to realize its evolution within the framework of democracy. National Socialism is what Marxism might have been if it could have broken its absurd and artificial ties with a democratic order."


Hope that helps in proving Hitler was a socialist..LOL

Hitler was an anticapitalist, and today's left wrongly and maliciously categorize both Republican conservatives and Nazi's as "right-wing".

However, Hitler's MOST important qualities are his love of wars of aggression and the mass murder of innocents. It is hardly appropriate to associate American Democrat liberals with these practices.

>>>However, Hitler's MOST important qualities are ….and the mass murder of innocents. It is hardly appropriate to associate American Democrat liberals with these practices.<<<

Between Two Holocausts The two questions every person in that class asked at the end of the term are the same two questions that all distraught Jews have been asking since the end of World War II: 1) How can a civilized, intellectual and educated society of people, made up of individuals presumably with consciences and souls just like everyone else, choose to systematically target and eliminate another group of individuals in cold blood, without mercy or a second thought? 2)…

The Third Reich leaders were experts in distortion, and indoctrination techniques. To dehumanize Jews, Nazi leaders had to suppress facts and propagandize with a barrage of lies about the Jewish people.

There is no argument that the Nazis used a variety of methods to thwart resistance to their goal, the annihilation of every Jew in Europe. However, even with our democratic government, we do not really have freedom to choose freely. System-regulated propaganda is so pervasive that individuals who initially support certain causes can eventually fall victim to the lies built within, with devastating consequences (Norma McCorvey is one example; she was deceived by the feminist pro-abortion propaganda machine. Let's not forget the many women who, seduced by "choice," opt for abortion and suffer from post abortion syndrome later on).

The dehumanization of unborn children did not occur in a vacuum.

Homicide Based on the Killing of an Unborn Child -- In this essay, Alan Wasserstrom surveys the history of laws which prosecute feticide--the destruction of a human fetus--as homicide.
