Hitler was fascinated with Marxism in his early days. He threw his hat into the ring to run for an elective position from his army barracks in Munich, Germany in 1919. He won and worked with the Communist Party of Germany, which had seized control of Bavaria at the bequest of Lenin. Lenin’s Red Army had invaded Poland (the Polish–Soviet War 1919-1920) and planned to conquer Germany. Wearing a red communist armband, Hitler was considered “part of the Red Army, according to the German historian Thomas Weber, “a part of the [Bavarian Soviet Republic] Red Army.” Killing History: https://amzn.to/2m5L74l Memes and articles: http://killinghistory.net/
The social justice movement started around the early 1920s among Fascist-Marxist leaders. Hitler was one of the first political leaders to demand “Social Justice” in 1920. He and Mussolini are considered the original social justice warriors, along with Charles Coughlin in America, publisher of the Social Justice magazine and leader of the National Union of Social Justice. Coughlin called for the nationalization of banks and big industries. He engaged in anti-Semitic and national socialist rhetoric by the 1930s.

In this March 15, 1989 speech on “Lenin, Trotsky and Socialism and the Soviet Union,” Noam Chomsky, an anarcho-syndicalist, claimed that Lenin was not socialist at all, and had forged an oppressive and anti-worker totalitarian state that could lead many to visualize Lenin as a right-wing fascist.

Hitler took a favorable position towards Marxism when he won the “Deputy Battalion Representative” position at his army barracks after the Communists seized control of Bavaria (Bavarian Soviet Republic) in 1919. While the Marxists were shooting hostages, plundering stores and homes, confiscating cars, nationalizing banks, and organizing a large Red Guard Army, Hitler remained at his post. After 30,000 Freikorps/Weimar Republic troops retook Munich during violent street-to-street battles, Hitler was arrested and interned. He escaped punishment by becoming an ”informer”.

Georges Sorel was a French Fascist-Marxist intellectual who is still admired by both Marxists and Fascists alike. Like Mussolini, Sorel was a Revolutionary Syndicalist (unionism), determined to bring about revolutionary violence via unrest and labor strikes. He praised Mussolini, Lenin, and the Bolsheviks in the early 1920s. Opposed to any form of liberal democracy, Sorel combined socialism, syndicalism, and nationalism, sometimes referred to as “Revolutionary Nationalism.” Killing History: https://amzn.to/2m5L74l Memes and articles: http://killinghistory.net/
Adolf Hitler was an anti-Semite because almost all past socialists were anti-Semites, including the pre-Marxist “Utopian Socialists.” Socialists dislike the merchant-financial society and heritage of the Jews. Europeans still frown on loans that charge interest. One of the first socialists, Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, wrote in 1847, “The Jew is the enemy of the human race. This race must be sent back to Asia, or exterminated… By steel or by fire or by expulsion the Jew must disappear.” Killing History: https://amzn.to/2m5L74l Memes and articles: http://killinghistory.net/
U.S. Senator John C. Calhoun (D) was a pro-slavery intellectual who contended that chattel slavery was a positive good, under the theory that superior people should rule (supremacism), and that it was the duty of the state-sanctioned slaveholder to care and manage the lives of the unfit and inferior (paternalism). He opposed Thomas Jefferson and many of the Founders, writing that a wise and benevolent government can only grant rights when it enhances the public good. Calhoun did not consider humans as autonomous individuals, but that “instead of being born free and equal, [people] are born subject, not only to parental authority but to the laws and institutions of the country…” He argued that equality had to be earned. The Democrat’s pro-slavery movement was a counter-revolution against the Founders.

Historian Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., was no conservative. He was the primary speechwriter and advisor for Adlai Stevenson II, who was noted for forging a liberal agenda during the era of McCarthyism. Schlesinger served as the “court historian” to President Kennedy from 1961 to 1963. He supported the campaign of Senator Robert F. Kennedy. His alma mater was Harvard University, and Peterhouse, Cambridge, and the winner of two Pulitzer Prize awards in 1946 and 1966. Nonetheless, Schlesinger concluded that Fascism was not a “conservative” movement. He concluded, “fascism and communism are clearly more like each other than they are like anything in between,” but still found the Left-Right political spectrum confusing.

The German Marxist theorist Eduard Bernstein (1850–1932), whom many consider the main heir apparent to Marx and Engels, argued that class conflict was not only decreasing but could be considered part of Marx’s outdated accessories—inaccurate or obsolete. In his 1899 book Evolutionary Socialism: A Criticism and Affirmation, Bernstein argued that Marxism had fundamental flaws and that “socialists needed to stress cooperation and evolution rather than class conflict and revolution.” Bernstein further asserted that socialism would be achieved by using capitalism, not by capitalism’s destruction. Bernstein’s criticism of Marxism in the late 1890s was mostly responsible for inciting the first “Crisis of Marxism,” which almost destroyed theoretical Marxism.

Before Hitler became Chancellor of Germany, Nazi students under the leadership of Baldur von Schirach and his National Socialist German Students’ League had “completely taken over student representation in Germany.” Besides taking over many student unions and fraternities, Nazi students engaged in “provocative actions,” the dismissal of unsupportive and Jewish professors, and the “creation of new chairs in subjects like Racial Studies and Military Science.” They were even able to get universities to divert their focus from the pursuit of knowledge to political and national socialist agendas. Many teachers who failed to follow along with the Nazis’ campaign of political correctness were targeted, named, and finally had to endure public “shaming” by Nazi student organizations.

Tom Clancy, best known for his military thriller novel/movie, “The Hunt for Red October,” wrote in his spare time while he was the owner-operator of a small insurance agency. His literary career started in 1982 when he began writing “The Hunt for Red October”, debuting in theaters by 1984. Clancy dedicated his books to well-known conservative personalities, which included Ronald Reagan. Although, his scathing anti-statist quote above is far more “classical liberal” than conservative.

Arthur Moeller van den Bruck (1876–1925) was a German cultural historian and philosopher who merged socialism with ultranationalism. Arthur Moeller’s theories shaped the Nazis’ desire to create a new order in Europe, a “New Germany” known as the “Third Reich,” a term that he coined in his 1923 controversial book – Das Dritte Reich. He is considered part of the Conservative Revolutionary movement that supported paternalistic state socialist and ethnic nationalism while opposing the capitalistic bourgeoisie and the liberal Enlightenment.

Joseph Goebbels was a big fan of Vladimir Lenin during his early years in Hitler’s German National Socialist party. He praised Lenin in 1925 as “the greatest man, second only to Hitler,” declaring that the two had only slight differences. Goebbels sought to establish an alliance with Soviet Russia because he saw Germany and Russia as two nations with almost identical nationalistic socialist states. He asserted that Russia would be “Our natural ally against the fiendish temptation and corruption from the West.” Killing History: https://amzn.to/2m5L74l Memes and articles: http://killinghistory.net/
Goebbels believed that Communists had disfigured the true nature of socialism. Many Nazis believed that they were the true, genuine socialists who were building a classless and equalitarian society, based on race. The opinion that one collective group is more socialist than another usually results in collective-tribal warfare. Ideological dogma and determinism often exclude many from their equalitarian equation. Under Nazism, those deemed biologically inferior were excluded, while those under Communism deemed “class inferiors” were rejected. Socialist factions often fail to uphold a universal equalitarian belief in individual rights for all people. Killing History: https://amzn.to/2m5L74l Memes and articles: http://killinghistory.net/
Lugi Fabbri, an Italian Anarchist, A number of socialists started to hold the opinion that the Soviet Union was becoming a red fascist state. For instance, the Italian Marxist, Bruno Rizzi, a founder of the Communist Party of Italy, argued in 1938: “Stalinism [took on] a regressive course, generating a species of red fascism identical in its superstructural and choreographic features [with its Fascist model].” The German Marxist Otto Rühle claimed, “the struggle against fascism must begin with the struggle against bolshevism.” He began to see parallels between Nazism and Marxism with the signing of the Hitler-Stalin Pact in 1939.

The Nazi’s hatred of Christianity spilled over into the Hitler Youth. During the 1934 Nuremberg Party rally, the Hitler Youth gleefully sang the anti-Christian song above. In addition, one of the perennial and popular verses of the Nazi Storm Troopers (SA) ditty to show their disdain for Catholic priests resounded: “Storm Trooper comrades, hang the Jews and put the priests against the wall.” According to many historians, Hitler’s ultimate goal under his Kirchenkampf policy was not only a power struggle over ideology, but the total destruction of the Protestant and Catholic churches.

One of the first policies of the Nazis was to nationalize the German school system. They understood the importance of indoctrinating children to be socialist and anti-Semitic. They were the originators of “Critical Race Theory,” although they did not label it as such. They taught that the German/Aryan race was oppressed by the Jewish race. Moreover, they told schoolchildren that the German race was superior and that the Jews were inferior. They indoctrinated racial hate. This brainwashing of the youth assisted in causing the Holocaust.

The Italian Fascists, German Nazis, and socialists all believed that children belong to the state. Government-owned schools are detrimental to a free and open society. Socialists rarely teach; they would rather indoctrinate. They feel entitled to other people’s children and work diligently to make them turn against their own parents. This is why the Nazi state schools and teacher union (National Socialist Teachers League) asked students to spy and report on their parents if they criticized the Nazi Party or the Führer. This was the main reason why educational standards had plummeted by 1939, causing business leaders to complain about how uneducated German students had become.

Joseph Goebbels echoed what many other National Socialists in Germany had also affirmed; that the youth belonged to the Nazi state. Communists believe the same rubbish. They want parents to have no say-so in how government schools operate or teach. To them, the schools are not there to educate students in language, math, and reading. They instead prefer to transform the young minds of children into collectivistic socialists who will dutifully obey any governmental dictate. They want an Orwellian society of obedient citizens.

Most people did not think in terms of left or right until recently – around the 1960s in America. Most political leaders did not frame their ideas as part of a left-wing or right-wing movement. Therefore, it is rare to find political figures confessing to being on the left or right until recently. Nonetheless, Goebbels made his Nazi left-wing statement in 1931. We now know that the Nazis thought of themselves as belonging to the “Left’, and hated the “right-wing” owners of property and businesses. Mussolini also referred to his Fascist movement as belonging to the “Left” in his 1933 Doctrine of Fascism.

Calling himself the “Lenin of Italy” in a 1919 campaign for an Italian legislative position, Mussolini referred to himself as the leader of the Fascist Revolutionary Party, which he started in 1915. In 1917, he endorsed Lenin’s October Revolution. Historians claim that Mussolini did not shy away from Marxism until around 1921. But some suspect that Mussolini’s retreat from hardcore Marxism only began after Lenin retreated from Marxism after instituting his New Economic Policy (NEP). The Soviet Union’s Marxist economy had totally collapsed by 1921. The Soviet Union had turned to a mixed economy. Mussolini followed Lenin’s example, making Russia the first socioeconomic Fascist nation in the world. Killing History: https://amzn.to/2m5L74l Memes and articles: http://killinghistory.net/
Many historians, including Conan Fischer, have concluded that Hitler and the other Nazi leaders were sincere in their usage of the word “socialist”, believing that it was inseparable from nationalism. In his book, The Rise of the Nazis, Fischer referred to Nazism as a “form of socialism” that “could appeal across class barriers with far greater ease than could Marxist Socialism.” George Orwell, made similar claims in his “Review of The Totalitarian Enemy” by F. Borkenau, Time and Tide (4 May 1940), writing: National Socialism is a form of Socialism, is emphatically revolutionary, does crush the property owner as surely as it crushes the worker… It is Germany that is moving towards Russia, rather than the other way about. It is therefore nonsense to talk about Germany ‘going Bolshevik’ if Hitler falls. Germany is going Bolshevik because of Hitler and not in spite of him.” Killing History: https://amzn.to/2m5L74l Memes and articles: http://killinghistory.net/
Hitler was a “social justice” warrior, eager to collectivize society under a political system that provided no individual choice. He used the term “social equity” in a 1938 speech to clarify his type of socialism. To Hitler, individual sovereignty did not matter. Like Marxists, the National Socialists of Germany opposed democracy or any type of representative government. Social equity means “equality of outcome.” Everyone must have the exact number of material goods. If someone owns several homes, that is a crime. The additional home(s) must be confiscated and given to someone else to equalize outcomes. There is no such thing as private property. The government can take anything from anyone to equalize the outcome. Here, there is no exclusive ownership of one’s own body, property, or one’s own life, a perfect environment for Fascist-Marxist dictatorship.

One of the last great classical liberals, Mahatma Gandhi opposed socialism and the Machiavellian manipulation that favored falsehoods over truth. Marxists and Fascists were quite willing to seize power by reinventing history, making up myths, and redefining words. To Gandhi, these deceptive means were only creating impure ends. To libertarians, false rhetoric will sabotage and destroy a trustful and honest society. And without trust, people will gravitate towards a society where there is no civil stability, just crime for the sake of illicit rewards and pleasure.

Denis Mack Smith, an English historian, hit the nail on the head. Mussolini was a left-wing communist for much of his life. He sought to increase taxes and replace the monarchy with an authoritarian socialist state. Smith acknowledged that when Mussolini led the Socialist Party of Italy, he wrote, “‘private property is theft’ and that it should be abolished to bring about the “ultimate goal of communism.” Smith authored many books in Italian, with some being translated into English. He gathered a great deal of historical data about Italian Fascism from the 36 volumes of Mussolini’s collected works, which have never been translated into English.

This analysis of Hitler comes from the Dr. Walter C. Langer’s top-secret OSS report in 1943—known as “A Psychological Analysis of Adolf Hitler.” A graduate from Harvard University in 1923, Langer attained his Ph.D. in Psychology in 1935. He travelled to Vienna, Austria to pursue studies in psychoanalysis, under Anna Freud, the daughter of Sigmund Freud. He became well-acquainted with Sigmund Freud, helping him to go into exile in 1938. Moreover, Langer helped many Jewish scientists to escape from the Nazis. His original 1943 manuscript was declassified in 1968, made public in 1972, and published as The Mind of Adolf Hitler: The Secret Wartime Report.

This quote from Adolf Hitler praising the “common good” over the “individual good” is part of his socialist legacy. There are some circumstances where a case can be made to support a “common good”, but not generally. Everyone has the right to their morally earned or owned property under the principles of individual liberty. Everyone has a right to choose how they wish to live a peaceful way of life. If we do not, then we are just as oppressed as the black slaves were in the Democratic Party-controlled South or the Jews and minorities in Nazi Germany. Freedom is individualistic, not socialistic.

Almost plagiarizing Adolf Hitler, Joe Biden’s socioeconomic and cultural disposition illustrate the close alignment of Progressive Democrats with German National Socialism and generic fascism. Hitler often pleaded impoverishment, as did many socialist and Fascist-Marxist intellectuals. During his speech to workers in Berlin (Dec. 10, 1940), Hitler boasted about his indigency credentials: “All my life I have been a ‘have-not.’ At home I was a ‘have-not.’ I regard myself as belonging to them and have always fought exclusively for them.” Killing History book: https://amzn.to/2m5L74l Memes and articles: https://killinghistory.net
The German philosopher, Frederick Nietzsche (1844–1900), had it correct. The government rarely tells the truth and seeks to impoverish almost everyone within its greedy grasp. During the early era of the United States, there was no direct taxation for over 80 years. In fact, one of Thomas Jefferson’s major campaign promises in 1800 was to rid the nation of all federal taxation. He kept his promise. The United States fought three wars without direct federal taxation. Most funding came from excise taxes (indirect taxes on foreign goods), selling land, survey fees, and the U.S. Post Office.

It is a fairly known fact that many high-ranking Nazis were openly homosexuals during the early years, including Ernst Röhm and other SA leaders within the National Socialist German Workers Party. Hitler was very close to Röhm since they met in 1919. Röhm was no neophyte; he was a member of the left-wing German Workers’ Party (DAP) before Hitler arrived on the scene to revamp and rename the party. Hitler never married until near the end of World War II. His marriage to Eva Braun lasted about a day before she swallowed a cyanide capsule while Hitler shot himself. Dr. Walter C.

One of Hitler’s better-known confidants was Hermann Rauschning (1887-1982), a Nazi leader who was elected president of the Senate of the independent port city of Danzig. Rauschning had dozen of private meetings with Hitler before his ascendancy to Chancellor of Germany in 1933. In 1934, he broke with the Nazi Party, departed Germany, and settled in the United States. He openly denounced German National Socialism and Hitler. Having taken detailed notes of his conversations with Hitler from 1932 to 1934, Rauschning published Hitler’s thoughts in his 1939 Conversations with Hitler (British edition) and the 1940 The Voice of Destruction (American edition). In his various books, he condemned National Socialism as no longer a nationalist but a revolutionary movement, a form of nihilistic barbarism that seeks to uproot all values and traditions.

Konrad Heiden was a German historian and journalist who operated out of Munich Germany, the home of Hitler and the Nazi movement. Heiden readily admitted in 1934 that the “Nazi Party was still a Party of the Left.” In fact, Heiden asserted that as the German Worker’s Party morphed into the Nazi Party, its party members considered themselves as belonging to the Left. In his 1936 book Hitler: A Biography, Heiden reported on the “beef steak” Nazi phenomenon, where there were “large numbers of Communist and Social Democrats among” the Röhm Sturmabteilung (SA) ranks. This practice became a well-known joke in the 1930s, where Nazi SA troopers were said to be “brown on the outside and red on the inside.” Another phrase went, “Nazi brown outside, Moscow red inside.” Killing History book: https://amzn.to/2m5L74l Memes and articles: https://killinghistory.net

Governments have traditionally altered or fabricated history in order to control the public’s thinking. If the political elites can control the narrative and records, the past becomes whatever the government proclaims. Whether actual or fabrication, eventually the state’s version of the past becomes the truth. In this way, the authorities control the future—as warned by George Orwell.

The Italian Fascists borrowed many ideological creeds and strategies from their Communist comrades. With their common mission to destroy democracy and individual liberty, Fascists and Communists found themselves “appealing to the same kinds of alienated people.” Many Fascist-led blackshirts joined various Italian Antifa groups during 1943-1945.

Karl Marx wrote numerous tirades against Jews and their culture. Despite Karl Marx’s Jewish ancestry, he became a die-hard atheist who opposed all religions and blamed the Jews for corrupting society through bourgeois usury, exploitation, and deceitfulness.

Here, Goebbels takes the standard socialist and Marxist position that rich capitalists are going to destroy or prevent socialism from taking root. To the Nazis, wealth inequality was a horrendous injustice that had to be remedied.

This simplified political spectrum chart is based on the seating arrangements of the early part of the 1789 French Revolution. Those on the left side were the classical liberals, including Thomas Paine. Those on the right were the authoritarians – the Church and the Monarchy. Communism is wickedly authoritarian. Think of communism simply as a monarchy with ideology. North Korea is considered a “communist hereditary monarchy,” where the rulers (all Kims) were destined for kingship by the accident of birth.

Stalin and the Russian communists hammered hard on the idea that Social Democratic parties across the world were nothing but “Social Fascists,” who were philosophically and economically identical to Hitler’s National Socialist German Workers’ Party. Stalin repeated this mantra, ordering the German Communist Party of German to campaign against the Social Democratic Party of Germany in the summer elections of 1932, leaving the Nazi Party mostly unscathed. This helped the Nazis garner the most votes of any political party in Germany, leading to Hitler’s chancellorship in 1933.
