Excerpted from "Those Damned Nazis," by Joseph Goebbels, circa 1932:

Why Are We Socialists?

We are socialists because we see in socialism, that is the union of all citizens, the only chance to maintain our racial inheritance and to regain our political freedom and renew our German state.

Socialism is the doctrine of liberation for the working class. It promotes the rise of the fourth class and its incorporation in the political organism of our Fatherland, and is inextricably bound to breaking the present slavery and regaining German freedom. Socialism, therefore, is not merely a matter of the oppressed class, but a matter for everyone, for freeing the German people from slavery is the goal of contemporary policy. Socialism gains its true form only through a total fighting brotherhood with the forward-striving energies of a newly awakened nationalism. Without nationalism it is nothing, a phantom, a mere theory, a castle in the sky, a book. With it it is everything, the future, freedom, the fatherland!

That's the same archive that I read through a while back. Some interesting stuff to be found there, especially from Der Sturmer and the other gutter weeklies that best revealed the madness of Nazi Germany.

Gobbles (for all of the lies that he told) isn't lying. He is a socalist, just not the kind of socialist that we're used to hearing about.
