Hitler was a Socialist, by his own Admission
Feb 18th, 2013 by Matt.
Doug Ross has found yet another example of how Adolph Hitler was a socialist, and this time, in his own words…
Daniel Hannan cuts through the disinformation routinely spewed by the pundit class to reveal the true historical nature of fascism, albeit as it pertains to British politics. The lessons, however, are applicable here as well.
I am a Socialist,’ Hitler told Otto Strasser in 1930, ‘and a very different kind of Socialist from your rich friend, Count Reventlow’.
 No one at the time would have regarded it as a controversial statement. The Nazis could hardly have been more open in their socialism, describing themselves with the same terminology as our own SWP: National Socialist German Workers’ Party.
Almost everyone in those days accepted that fascism had emerged from the revolutionary Left. Its militants marched on May Day under red flags. Its leaders stood for collectivism, state control of industry, high tariffs, workers’ councils. Around Europe, fascists were convinced that, as Hitler told an enthusiastic Mussolini in 1934, ‘capitalism has run its course’.
Doug (no relation) has even more. The main point is this-to detach from the genocide of the holocaust, leftists have not only disowned the fascists (and especially the Nazis) they have gone to the trouble of pinning them to the right. Of course it’s a complete lie, and that’s why the left defends it so savagely. Anyone that points out the truth is attacked in massive fashion. It’s like the drunk that doesn’t want to be confronted with that they did on their last bender. They have no desire to be confronted with their past, even though it’s closely related to their present (abortion, and especially Planned Parenthood’s ongoing “negro project”), and their proposed future (population control). But, as always, the truth ends up being a rather stubborn thing. |
