I add that the basic concepts and ideas of the Nazis already were ready and prepared before the first world war. And quite some forethinkers of it held positions in organisations and associations that could and were seen as being concerned about social issues ands socialist policies. Especially infamous was Werner Sombart, who was chairman of the Verein für Sozialpolitik, and of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Soziologie, long before WWII. Already before WWI he agitated extremely aggressively and maliciously against British rationalism and humanism. He, and some more, became the propagandists on which the Nazi's later agitation was basing on, and they were spewing - beside their claim to work for the social interests of Germans - a form of nationalism that even for the standards of the time before WW1 was extremely vitriolic.
Also mind you, that the totalitarian basis shared by socialism and communism and national-socialism created the paradox that in the times before WWII and before the Nazis coming to power, national-socialists and communists often changed sides and turned from the one to the other, or were both at the same time. It seems it did not happen rarely. The closeness of methods - totalitarianism and police force - between nationalists, communists and later Nazis, made this possible. As I often said in threads from past years: ideologies like Stalinism, Nazism, Socialism and Muhammeddanism are not that different at all and are all offsprings of the same spirit - totalitarianism, and a determination to accept dictatorship for control. The following link leads to a chapter from a German book I own. It is about why German liberalism is so weak and why the German reply to British rationality and enlightenment was irrationality, emotional confusion and this thing called "Deutsche Romantik". The fundament why the Nazis later became so strong in Germany, already were laid in the 30-years-war - the 17th century, that is. I digitized this text once to send it to German friends.

Skybird, I said historian, not paid-up-member of the bat****-crazy Mises cult.
And yes, Ducimus, any idiot knows that the Nazi's called themselves 'national-socialists'. Anyone other than an idiot would bother to actually learn what 'national-socialism' stood for. Here's a few clues: They were funded by German industrialists. They were put into power by right-wing conservatives - who (probably wrongly) saw the possibility of the left taking power in Germany. |

Man, you make more pointless noise than a flock of twittering geese. I gave you plenty of arguments in a substantial text, and you just behave like troll.
I conclude you are one, then. [blip deleted from Skybird's radar]

Okay, it's time for everybody to take a step back and a deep breath. I let it go on for awhile because you guys were having fun fighting each other, and it was fairly confined. Now the level of hostility seems to have taken a step up and the name-calling is increasing while the level of debate is decreasing.
You have all made some good points, but from here on in let's do it without the demeaning language. You can argue without insulting each other. Only warning.

Today I learned that socialism is solely an economic concept.
Following the logic of self given names, no Nazis could have existed outside of Germany, as they were 'national'. Bonus trivia question: how big was the percentage of workers in the worker's party NSDAP? How big was the percentage of farmers and state employees? Quote:
So the guy who thought Marxism was a jewish invention compared his ideology to theirs? ![]() The same guy who held speeches like "Der Nationalsozialismus als Weltanschauung, der Marxismus ein Wahnsinn!", or the famous speech in front of the Düsseldorf Industrie Club, where he stated to rot out Marxism? C'mon, even Nolte, who started the "Historikerstreit", an advocate of the totalitarism theory, denies any love of Adolf for Karl's theories. |
