‘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.
quick google:
"
What is Marx view on private property?
As Marx says, under capitalism, "private property has already been abolished for nine-tenths of the population." In other words, as long as the economy is run by a few wealthy people in their own interest, the working class won't be able to achieve prosperity.Hence we can see Hitler's first mis-characterization of Marxism.
Quote:Unlike Marxism, it involves no negation of personality and, unlike Marxism, it is patriotic.
Hitler's comment here re 'negation of personality' merely confirms he is a typical Conservative who surmises government on behalf of collective well-being will necessarily 'negate personality' (no doubt, of criminal drug lords and the like....).
And as for "patriotism", it is mostly "the last refuge of the scoundrel"; and of course nationalists (and Hitler was above all a nationalist, like most flag-waving Conservatives).
Whereas Marxists are indeed internationalists: the world urgently needs to put aside nationalism and adopt an international rules based system (meaning the power of veto in the UNSC has to be consigned to the dust-bin of history).
Quote:‘We might have called ourselves the Liberal Party. We chose to call ourselves the National Socialists.
.
That's right, because Hitler was a Conservative, as shown above).
Quote: We are not internationalists.
As pointed out above.
Quote: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…
So workers exist for the fulfillment of the racist state....
That's fascism, certainly neither Marxism or socialism.
Quote:‘We believe in a healthy mind, in a healthy body. The body politic must be sound if the soul is to be healthy. Moral and physical health are synonymous.’
Ok...healthy individuals and healthy community, good.
Quote:‘Mussolini’, I interjected, ‘said the same to me’. Hitler beamed.
‘The slums’, he added, ‘are responsible for nine-tenths, alcohol for one-tenth of all human depravity.
I would say 50/50, but anyway...
Quote:No healthy man is a Marxian.
Conservative ideological BS...
Quote:Healthy men recognise the value of personality. We contend against the forces of disaster and degeneration.
Non sequitur....
Quote:Bavaria is comparatively healthy because it is not completely industrialised… If we wish to save Germany, we must see to it that our farmers remain faithful to the land. To do so, they must have room to breathe and room to work.’
A quaint juxtaposition of starry-eyed Conservationism (Bavaria) set against exploitative capitalism in the North.
Quote:.......
Quote:So you can be a Hitlerite socialist or Marxian socialist. Both socialismx are grand, murderous insanities.
I think Hitler - obviously a very confused man in search of an ideology - succeeded in totally bamboozling you.
