re: Hitler's Speeches With Subtitles... An Incredible Leader and Horrible Man.

National Socialism had nothing in common with socialism except the name. It was pure fascism. In fact Hitler's rise to power was in part due to his opposition to socialism. This is well documented.

What is well documented is your ignorance.

I watched Hitler's youtube speeches and I read the words coming directly from his mouth. His message is one of pure socialism/collectivism/leftism. That's documented in the youtube speeches from the OP.

Now, I grant you that, in practice, National Socialism did not end up being a purely socialist model of governance. It started out as a fairly radical left wing ideology, but, once cooperation from some traditional German industries and institutions was needed for consolidation of political power, some "non-socialist" elements were adopted.

But, getting back to your first sentence -- it is profoundly ignorant for you to think that Naziism had "had nothing in common with socialism except the name". That is totally uninformed, and to believe such nonsense, one must ignore practically every Hitler speech and Nazi party social policy.

I know that you and your Lefty brothers have always wanted people to believe that Hitler was a
Right Wing Radical, but, the NSDAP was founded as a left wing party.

But, our little debate misses the main point of Nazism, which was really neither fascism nor socialism, it was Racism. Racist hatred of Jews was the overwhelming driving force of the ideology. IMHO, Nazism's primary reason for existence was to persecute the Jews.
