NAZISM AND THE FAR RIGHT
Conservatives are constantly being called “fascist” or “Nazi” by people who really don’t know history, government, economics or just adopt the rants of liberals. Considering that most people abhor what the Nazis did between 1921-1945, it is very disturbing to be called a Nazi especially since it is such a disparaging word. It also is a Progressive lie instigated to cause dislike and even hatred of Republicans, Trump, and the “right”. It is said in scripture that you should “get knowledge and understand so that you may be wise”.
Last month I explained that fascism, Nazism and communism were socialistic leftist policies that opposed the traditional internationalist Marxism which resulted in different brands of socialism. A far left socialist would be considered a communist who considers religion a drug to be avoided. Nazism is a form of socialism that is nationalistic and believes in the extermination of races considered weak, mentally deficient, handicapped, and less desirable. Fascism is “right” of the other two but still socialistic. The three believed in centralized economic policies, obeyed collectivist and socialist principles, openly opposing capitalism and the free market, favoring nationalism and autarchy.

Fascism and Nazism had far more in common with the left at any point in the 20th century than they did with the right. Here are a sampling of Nazi policies/views:

Nazism and communism require the elimination of certain ethnic groups or economic classes, whereas fascism is not necessarily racist and does not commit to the elimination of particular groups but will coercively favor and harm different groups of individuals in society to maintain control. In the early 1900’s these groups, along with many other socialist groups struggled to find the best socialistic plans.
Probably the biggest support for Nazis being socialists and thus, left wing, is Hitler himself. In an interview of Adolf Hitler by German-American writer and Nazi sympathizer, George Sylvester Viereck, Hitler responded to Viereck’s questions as follows:
‘Why’, I asked Hitler, ‘do you call yourself a National Socialist, since your party program is the very anthesis of that commonly accredited to Socialism?’
‘Socialism’, he retorted, putting down his cup of tea, ‘is the science of dealing with the common weal [health or well-being]. Communism is not Socialism. Marxism is not Socialism. The Marxians have stolen the term and confused its meaning. I shall take Socialism away from the Socialists. ‘Socialism is an ancient Aryan, Germanic institution. Our German ancestors held certain lands in common. They cultivated the idea of the common weal. Marxism has no right to disguise itself as socialism. Socialism, unlike Marxism, does not repudiate private property. Unlike Marxism, it involves no negation of personality and, unlike Marxism, it is patriotic. ‘We might have called ourselves the Liberal Party. We chose to call ourselves the National Socialists. We are not internationalists. Our Socialism is national. We demand the fulfilment of the just claims of the productive classes by the State on the basis of race solidarity. To us, State and race are one… |
Hitler believed that Germans under Nazism were socialist and, according to him, the original socialists. Why did Progressives make a successful effort to put Nazis and fascists on the “right”? Was it just to mislead and confuse the people of this country that Conservatives were “bad” guys? Or was it a coverup and lie to hide the Progressive’s relationship with socialists and fascists? |
