NASDP (Nationalsocialistiche Deutsche Arbeiter Patei) may have been the official name of the party but it’s workings were not.
Every leftists aka socialist aka democrat aka liberal I`ve ever debated go ballistic when I tell them Hitler was a national socialist and prove it.
They go absolutely nuts trying to disprove all the similarities by pointing to one or two dissimilarities and then attempt to use their miniscule points to argue it disporves the preponderance of evidence against them.
I laugh seeing them writhe,twist and try squirm their way out and just end up telling them the major difference is that hitler was a national socialist and they, democrats,liberals,etc, are international socialists.
Franco, Mussolini and Austria before the Nazis were fascist.
National Socialism WAS a brand of Socialism. But instead of the internationalist, “border-less” socialism propagated by the communists, it had a nationalist, racist approach.
Real Fascism is based on traditions, nationalism, class and often religion. National-Socialism resembled the Soviet-Union in most aspects more than it did resemble the other European Fascist states.
“NASDP (Nationalsocialistiche Deutsche Arbeiter Patei) may have been the official name of the party but it’s workings were not.”
Their “workings” were not?? How so??
Many of the original party leaders were clearly socialist. For the first 10+ years of the party, the socialists were probably stronger than the nationalists. It was only when Hitler needed the money of the industrialists that he promised to deal with them (which he finally did in 1934). Gregor and Otto Strasser were the most notable leaders of the socialist wing of the party. (Otto had come to the Nazis from the socialists).
yeah right.
let`s go to the source:
Adolf Hitler, “We are socialists, we are enemies of today’s capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak...”
Joseph Goebbels, “Because we are socialists we have felt the deepest blessings of the nation, and because we are nationalists we want to promote socialist justice in a new Germany... We are socialists because we see in socialism, that is the union of all citizens...”
HERMANN GOERING, “We are living through a National Socialist revolution. We emphasize the term “socialist” because many speak only of a “national” revolution. Dubious, but also wrong. It was not only nationalism that led to the breakthrough. We are proud that German socialism also triumphed.”
