Question: Why did Hitler despise Communism!?
Isn't it a fascist's dream!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Hitler despised communism because, as someone has said, i was thought up/helped along by a Jew, Karl Marx!. also, communism is the other end of the spectrum to Hitler's views!.

Imagine an open semi-circle!. On the left is communism and the right facism!. They are as far away from eachother as you can get!. However, some could argue that Hitler's regime was ever so slightly similar to communism, as both wanted to have absolute power of the country in ruling!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Because it didn't agree with his philosophy!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No!.
The thing is in politics, you've got a scale!.
On the left of the scale, you've got Labourism
On the right, you've got conservatism
BUT
On the FAR left, you've got Communism
and on FAR right, you've got Fascism

So, in theory, you cant get any different in ideals!.

Hope this answers you!Www@QuestionHome@Com

No, communism is not a fascist's dream!. Hitler blamed communists, social democrats, and socialists for the German loss of WW1!. Communism advocates spreading wealth evenly among a population (at least that's the idea, in practice it's far different)!.

Fascism really relies more on a strong leader with close to absolute power, nationalism, and heavy militarization/industrialization!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think it all started when he found out the person who rejected his art college application was a communist!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

He foresaw the state of the world in the 21st century!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It is the opposite of Fascism!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hitler despised Communism for two reasons: The first, because it would make the Pope happy!. I mean, it would satisfy the will of the Church!.

The second reason is because Hitler always
believed that Communism was the work of the Jews!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Because it replaced horizontal war - the war between nation-states - with vertical war - the war between classes!. Hitler thought the former was noble and exalting, whereas the latter was a Jew-inspired aberration, the Jews then having no nation-state of their own!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Politics is like a horse shoe - on one end is Fascism and on the other is Communism!. Fascists, believe in the rule of one person, usually in a dictatorship!. The communist ideal is that everybody lives as one and there is no hierarchy!.

It is very unusual to find an example of either extreme and most countries go for a middle road option!. However NAZI Germany was an extreme example of Fascism where Adolf Hitler ruled as Fuhrer!. Because of the horseshoe nature of politics the two extreme ends do have a lot of similarities!. However they are fundamentally different!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
