Hitler was a Socialist

The fact that my opponent did not state that any of my definition changes was a problem, I will assume that he accepts these minor changes.I firstly wish to point to the video my opponent posted. If he watched the last 30 seconds, then he would realise the massive problem he has in front of him. I shall quote it: "It must be said though that... the left in general fundamentally opposed Nazism. Because Hitler has distorted Marxism beyond recognition. Gassing people because of their nationality was absolutely inesxcusable." And I quote "Hitler got it all wrong". When my opponent cites things that agree with me, then I must assume he is not taking this issue with the serious nature that it deserves.I feel that I should defend this issue. But I shall not; I shall let hitler speak for himself:So I’ve went on the web a few months back, and pulled some quotes from a wonderful website – and I don’t want to know who runs it – called “hitler.org” with every speech the man ever made. I have pulled 2 quotes from him about socialism, a cause I am advocating. Number 1 :“14 years of Marxism has ruined Germany. 1 year of volschigism (that is, communist socialism) would destroy her. The richest and fairest countries in the world would be turned into smoking heaps of ruin. Even the suffering of the last decade and a half could not compare to the damage caused if we raise the red flag of communism.” Yeah, real socialist there, real go-getter. He goes on “there are only two possible options left; either to the left, which would spell our destruction, god help us, or the party of the right, who will finally grab the reins of power.” Now, if Hitler was truly a leftist, like some John Goldberg argued that Hitler was a leftist, iff he was anything like a leftist, he would not have said that. Fascism is a right wing ideology. Fascism is a right wing ideology where the workers know their place. Where women know their place. It is where people of different cultures and religions don’t exist. So what do us socialists seek? We seek something entirely different. We seek a world where everyone is in control and there is total equality of people. Where there isn’t straight men over gay, or men over women, or any of that oppression. Or any nationalism, or white men over black men. We fight for something completely different than fascism. I am going to bring up some research note I did a while ago, about Belarus, the only socialist country left in the soviet block. And during WW2, Belarus was invaded by the Nazis. And the Nazis captured a platoon in the soviet army. They took a platoon, and some of the members were Jewish. And the Nazis told the non-Jewish people, “look, we’ll let you guys live, we’ll let you go free, if you take your Jews and bury them alive”. If you don’t do it, we’re gonna kill you. And do you know what the soldiers did? They denied. Because Marxism and socialism, unlike libertarianism, promotes the equality and promotion of society, of everyone, and everyone is equal. And they would rather die themselves than degrade the members of their socialist idea. Socialism preaches the equality of people. And I do want to point out, y’know, how do you work out if a country is socialist or not. Well, you look at who owns production. You look at Nazi Germany, who owned production? Hitler did. The fascists. Big business. I mean, volksvagen, they made out like bandits in the holocaust. I mean, what were the two political possibilities in Germany? There was communism, volshigism, which would have shook the heart of the most industrialised country in Europe, or fascism, hitler was backed and funded by the big bankers, that frankly run the republicans of America. We are the antithesis of what hitler did. It is one of the most frightening lies that I am told, in all honesty, that fascism and socialism is the same thing. You know, who were shooting at Hitler before he got into power? The German Volschig party. Revolutionaries have always been fighting against Nazis. Who is always leading the protests against the KKK? For the Can the Klan party? It’s us. The socialists. And to say we are one of the same is frankly insulting.Now, to go over some misconceptions:The Nazi Part favours socialism sounds identical to is against capitalism, and I have addressed this. Bullock writes of Hitler that:"While Hitler's attitude towards liberalism was one of contempt, towards Marxism he showed an implacable hostility… Ignoring the profound differences between Communism and Social Democracy in practice and the bitter hostility between the rival working class parties, he saw in their common ideology the embodiment of all that he detested -- mass democracy and a leveling egalitarianism as opposed to the authoritarian state and the rule of an elite; equality and friendship among peoples as opposed to racial inequality and the domination of the strong; class solidarity versus national unity; internationalism versus nationalism." He even says that socialism "itself systematically plans to hand the world over to the Jews." Now, remembering Hitler's hatred for Jews, imagine the insult he gives it by comparing it two the Jewish people.[1]Regarding the anti-nazi group of socialism: "The NSDAP local in Augsburg, with the full knowledge and approval of the executive committee, negotiated an agreement of mutual cooperation with the German Socialist Party organization in the city. From the outset, both parties attached far more than local significance to the agreement. On the surface, a union of the two parties seemed logical and natural. They had largely identical programs. Nevertheless, the old leadership of the NSDAP was not primarily interested in creating a new and potentially stronger party. Its more immediate and overriding aim was to deprive Hitler of much of his political influence in the party. Hitler neither accepted the decision of the executive committee to conclude the treaty with the DBP nor did he attempt to convince the party leadership that its path of action was wrong. Instead he simply resigned from the party. On July 12, he was again an unaffiliated politician."[2]I also plan to go into depth about how Hitler does not satisfy the characteristics of being a socialist later.http://www.huppi.com...http://www.johndclare.net...
