Do you really mean that the National SOCIALIST German Workers Party (NAZI) was in fact Socialist just like in their Official TITLE?? Who would of thought...
No way. Just like Democratic Socialism is not really socialism. /s
“National SOCIALIST German Workers Party”
The term “socialist” was just a sop for support from left leaning Germans. Hitler loathed socialism/bolshevism. The whole NAZI movement was propelled by post WW 1 antipathy toward the leftist/socialist/marxists running the Weimar government.
It is not publicized, that the German Communist party actually facilitated Hitler rise to power.
in 1932, because of global depression, German people really suffered and were prone to vote for radicals.
Nazis gained like 34% of the vote, but president Hindenburg stitched a coalition government out of all non-Nazi parties.
That government we voted down by the Nazis and the Communists, who together held majority.
Hindenburg was still trying to stop Hitler, by calling new elections, with similar results, despite Nazis lost somewhat. Another non-Nazi coalition and another defeat by vote by Nazis and Communists!
If the communists just voted “present” once, Nazis would never gained power!
