Hitler was a Socialist

The term Nazi is short for the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, which is German for, the National Socialist German Workers' Party. The Nazi Party was founded in 1920, and was preceded by the German Worker’s party, which was founded in 1919. Hitler wanted to rename the German worker’s party the Social Revolutionary Party, but Rudolf Jung convinced Hitler to name it the National Socialist Worker’s Party after the Austrian party with the same name. The German worker’s party had 3 core principles Nationalism Socialism Racial antisemitism Nationalism is sociocultural while Socialism is socioeconomic; the two do not conflict. There was also another National Socialist Party the predated the German’s worker’s party, known as the German Socialist Party. The German Socialist Party was founded in 1918 and lasted until 1922 when it merged into the Nazi Party. The 3 main principles of the German Socialist Party were Nationalism Völkisch movement Socialist economics In 1920, the Nazi Party published the National Socialist Program, a manifesto that in 25 points demanded: “that the State shall make it its primary duty to provide a livelihood for its citizens ... the abolition of all incomes unearned by work ... the ruthless confiscation of all war profits ... the nationalization of all businesses that have been formed into corporations ... profit-sharing in large enterprises ... extensive development of insurance for old-age ... land reform suitable to our national requirements.” In 1927, Hitler said: “We are socialists, we are enemies of today’s capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are determined to destroy this system under all conditions.” In 1933, similar to the Soviet Union, Hitler seized power he replaced the Weimar trade unions with a new national union called the German Labour Front. <--- Flag of the German Labour FrontThere were two components of the German Labour Front National Socialist Factory Organization National Socialist Trade and Industry Organization <-- National Socialist Factory Organization insignia.The German Labour Front both gave the Government control of production, as well as providing better representation for the German worker. There were many subdivisions of the German Labour Front, but some of the most prominent was; Kraft durch Freude (KdF; Strength through Joy) Schönheit der Arbeit (SdA; Beauty of Work) Reichsarbeitsdien (SAD; Reich Labour Service) The KdF provided the workers with subsidized sporting and leisure facilities, as well as cheap or even free vacations. The SdA provided better working conditions for the workers, including renovations of outdated factories, new canteens for workers, smoking-free rooms, cleaner working spaces and more. The SAD provided the unemployed with jobs working on State projects, such as working on the German Autobahns. <--- German Labour Front BuildingThe German Labour Front even introduced national holidays for the workers, such as labour day. <-- commemorative Labour Day medal Nazi Germany without a doubt falls into the category of State Socialism. The term fascism is rooted in socialism. The term fascism was invented by Mussolini in 1919, when Mussolini created the Fasci italiani di combattimento, which is Italian for the Italian League of Combat. Prior to creating the Italian League of Combat, Mussolini was a member of the Italian Socialist Party, from 1901 to 1914, when he was kicked out for supporting WWI. In 1921 the Italian League of Combat turned into the National Fascist Party, which promoted both Nationalism and State Socialism. In July of 1943 the National Fascist Party turned into the Republican Fascist Party, which sought to eliminate the Monarchy. In September of 1943, the Republican Fascist Party turned the Italian Monarchy into the Italian Social Republic. The Italian Social Republic, like Nazi Germany, controlled production, and had a State Socialist Economy. So in reality Fascism has its roots in Socialism, and this is why many socialists supported both Hitler and Musolini, one of the most notable of these socialists was the Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw, who was one of the founders of the British Labour Party. To recap; The Nazi Party favors Socialism The Nazi Party is Anti-Capitalist The Nazi Party is Pro-Union Fascism is rooted in Socialism Socialists supported Fascist dictators. http://www.youtube.com...
