You had me until "socialism at their cores."I can, not sure if you can based upon your lack of education.
Communism and Nazism are fairly comparable worldviews with only minor differences.
Both are centralized governments controlled by a ruling class, murdered its own citizens to maintain control and wealth, socialism at their cores, both aim for world domination, vilified a segment of their own societies to unite national pride, had an official state run youth programs, installed puppet governments in conquered lands, censorship of anything deemed a threat, death camps, and both rise out of the ashes of problems of the early 20th century.
Education is a wonderful thing.
What part of National Socialist German Workers' Party is confusing?You had me until "socialism at their cores."
Socialism is all about equality, guaranteeing that each person owns an equal amount of industry; Communism is an authoritarian form of government built on the promise of ultimate socialism, and equality for all. Nazism is the German form of Fascism, which is a form of extreme nationalism; the last thing they want is for their chosen nation of people to be equal with the others.
Communists and Nazis are both authoritarians, and therefore opponents of democracy, but they are die-hard enemies of each other as well. I won't derail this thread any longer, but I had to join the others in pointing that out.
And you, calling yourself a World War II historian, write this?What part of National Socialist German Workers' Party is confusing?
They had a quasi socialist system. Welfare and healthcare for ayrians, everyone else was to die. They allowed private ownership of companies, but with the strict understanding that they followed the orders of the government. Companies could not do anything not sanctioned by the government. Volkswagen wasn’t going to produce anything it wanted. Free enterprise didn’t exist and the government manipulated and micromanaged the economy.And you, calling yourself a World War II historian, write this?
If Hitler were to start a party today, he'd call it the "Trans/Gay/Lesbian Progressive Party". Or something like that. Because the nazi party then used demagoguery to the point of using communist workers songs with altered lyrics in their actions.
Oh yeah! Real socialism.They had a quasi socialist system. Welfare and healthcare for ayrians, everyone else was to die.
Oh, what unusual behavior in a capitalist society! (sarcasm mode off).They allowed private ownership of companies, but with the strict understanding that they followed the orders of the government.
Capitalism as in ‘we’ll let you profit from what the government orders you to make’ you mean.Oh yeah! Real socialism.
Oh, what unusual behavior in a capitalist society! (sarcasm mode off).
Do you know that the german monopolies, as a result of the lost war, increased their wealth by 5 times? LOST WAR. So why did the german capitalists have to oppose the power of the nazis?
"The capitalist will sell the rope on which he will be hanged" (c)
That's what they taught you in the indoctrination college?And taking money by force to make others wealthy is pure socialism
An American woman bends over the barrier and kisses Adolf Hitler. Olympic Games in 1936.
Just before the finish of the men's 1500-meter freestyle swim, a woman in a red hat, who was prevented by guards from photographing Hitler at close range, broke through the cordon during the general excitement at the finish of the swim, shook the Fuhrer's hand, and then kissed him, with 20,000 people present in the stadium, burst into laughter.
Hitler, who was in a good mood, shared in the general merriment, applauding the woman, who returned to her seat in triumph. It was 40-year-old American Carla De Vries. Several SS guards were dismissed and several others were demoted because the woman had managed to break through to the Führer.
This image, called "Help from the Holy Father," was taken by photographer Hector Rondon Lovera. In the photo, which won the Pulitzer Prize in 1963, a priest holds a soldier dying from a sniper's bullet to give him absolution before he dies. This scene was shot on June 4, 1962, during the El Portenazo military uprising in Venezuela, when rebels attempted to storm the town of Puerto Cabello. The priest in the photograph is Venezuelan naval chaplain Luis Padillo. The priest was in the rebels' line of fire at the time, but it was highly unlikely that he would have been shot, as his death could have been used as a propaganda tool. In addition, the enemy soldiers were Catholic and would likely have refused to kill the priest even under orders.
What happened to the historical photographs?
