Question: Just how socialist were the national socialists (nazis)!?
Since 1945, leftists have been frantically labelling fascism a 'right wing' ideology!.

But the facts do not support this!.

Fascism was 'invented' by Benito Mussolini and others who were all members of the Italian socialist party!.
Fascism advocated collectivism in the sense of national and/or racial unity!. Collectivism being a left wing thing obviously!.

And nazi Germany was the worlds first total welfare state:

The writer explains how Hitler simply bought support by giving generous welfare to Germans!.

Like many leftist regimes, Hitler needed an enemy!. Communism had capitalists as the enemy, and Hitler took the jews as the enemy, in Hitler's view jewish bolshevism or jewish capitalism (depending on his mood) were to blame for all that was ill with Germany!.

Therefore, the question is: how socialist were the national socialists!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Chances6 is completely wrong
there is no pacifism in ANY of the branches of socialist ideology!. They are all dominating and expansionist!.
and yes, nazism is one of the vesions of socialist ideology
soviet socialism is another

socialism uses inter-group strife to achieve power- the difference is that soviets used "class", and nazis used "ethnics" as the determining factors

In both cases there was strict government control over production!. the nazis simply did not bother with the details of hand managing every factory- but they controlled the production

To answer your question- nazis made the theory of socialism come to real life

Today the country which as EXACTLY the same ideology and methods is!.!.!.!. ChinaWww@QuestionHome@Com

I personally find this left wing right wing thing to be annoying and would simnply prefer a nice bucket of spicy Buffalo wings!. But yes when defining Socialism as a system wherein the Government takes care of its citizens from cradle to grave then yes Hitler's concept was Socialist!. In fact taking into account both Hitler and Himmler's obsessions one could argue that the Nazis were pre-cradle in that they were interested in breeding blond haired blue eyed Germans organizing/encouraging marriages, rewarding women for birthing blond haired blue eyed babies, and as for the Grave part the Nazis were quite efficient in putting people in their graves!.
Lost amidst Hitler's own oft told take of his struggling years as a young artists on the mean streets of Vienna was the very real fact that Hitler benifitted from a survivors pensions due to his father's civil service work and a few historians argue that Hitler actually had a decent wage in the form of a pension and that any struglling was due to the usual mismanagement men in their late teens early twenties expereince when thrust out in the World on their own!.
But for good or bad, no matter how much may wish to view Hitler as a Monster, Hitler did believe in a system wherein the Government took care of its citizens from cradle to grave and to his credit the 'Strength through Joy' program was one of the few times when the State, any State, took time to consider how best to keep its workers content and to give them that little extra such as concerts & travel & leisure although that said those same workers were expected to enjoy what Hitler prescribed for them; his opinion on art, movies, leisure activities and so forth!.
By the way Hitler did not merely denounce Jewish Bolshevism, he clearly viewed the West as Decadent especially France and Britain and in many of his speeches admonished Britain & France for not doing anything for their workers one speech in particular was meant to convey to German workers how lucky they were to be working in Germany and not France & Britain with Hitler citing how pennioners especially in Britain were often reduced to living in penury dependent on family members for shelter & food!. Hitler for all his appeals to Youth and disdain for the Old actually encouraged Youth to see to their elder's comfort in their reclining/declining years!.
Final Word - - - Hitler viewed himself not as Germany's Father, but rather as Kindly Uncle/Onkel Adolf, that sweet gentle relative who indulged nephews & nieces with a coin or more!.

Fascinsm has been labelled as a right-wing system for a couple of reasons you seem to have missed!. First, Hitler came to power by exploiting the fear of communism, and he closely allied himself with other rabid anti-communists such as Franco!. In addition, while Germany under the Nazi regime certainly could be characterized as socialist, it also catered to the industrial capitalists!. The extreme nationalism and aggressive expansionism of the Fascists also resonates a great deal more with the typical politics of the right-wing, as opposed to the typical pacifist, internationalism of the left!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It had little to do with socialism!.

It was 180? opposed to some forms of socialism!.

Historically, supporters of socialism have varied from opponents of the state (like Proudhon or Bakunin) to supporters of it (like Engels), as well as from supporters of completely free markets (like Proudhon or Tucker) to supporters of planned economies (like Marx) to supporters of free access to common means of production (like Kropotkin)!. That makes it easy to find parallels between any political philosophy and some form of socialism, which are *not* parallels between that political philosophy and other forms of socialism!. So there are parallels between Fascism and Stalinism, or even Fascism and Fabianism, without these being parallels between Fascism and socialism in general!.

The terms "left wing" and "right wing" come from the seating arrangements in the French Parliament in the mid-19th-century!. The socialists, anarchists, and classical liberals sat on the far left and the monarchists sat on the far right!. Fascism shares the values (authoritarianism, traditionalism, nationalism, elitism) of monarchism and other far-right-wing ideologies, *not* the values (egalitarianism, open discourse, etc!.) of many branches of the left!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

answer they were very socialist but they needed more information! there was and is help for them including as mentioned what came from Poland; in our hearts may there be peace ;) happy day!

Part goes back in age a factor Anna in the Temple was over 84 years old and served God day and night Luke 2:36 &37 verses, chapter 2!.

Concerning us I was asked who is the greatest hero and villan

if we are talking about the living
Jesus =hero
the devil =villian

Politics at the moment
according to the muslim terrorist and their ultra liberal american supporters !.!.!.
Hero =they consider both Hillery and Obama the terrorists have a #3 too= Ben Laden (Pastor Wright prefers Kadaffi of Libya=the man with for years open door policy to let all terrorists against the USA to train protected in his country) their greatest hero's of the moment

Villan would be any infadel Bible believer in the USA (Ironic the USA is its worst enemy as spiritual leader Wright stands with the terrorists and their leaders "9/11 was an act of God against the USA & God 'd' the USA")!.

Jesus is my best friend so hehe i have peace in the midst of storm, and it will be coming when the terrorists take over Iraq and have the oil money to sponsor them!.

Yesterday said if Iran nuclear attacks Israel (Hillery and Obama said then they will take action) ---Nuke Israel a country the size of New Jersey!.!.!. and nothing is left to take action for but burry the dead!. Has America mostly gone brain or heart dead or both!?

sort it out and there are spiritual and political and other related JEWELS here=spiritually right helps too=
its important to be good and believe Jesus!
extreme liberalism happened because as is testified to 'communist' people arosed others and used government issues like protecting the communists=Vietnam where 2 1/2 million along with Cambodians were slaughtered when we walked away, or now in support of the terrorists to let them take over Iraq and its oil wealth!.

it is in part inspired by the ACLU a group headed by Jewish and non Jewish secularists, to remove the Bible, God, prayer, and whatever it stands for from public school and the public!.

We for the most part didnt learn in the past the need for faith yet before world war II many did learn=Jewish and all peoples, in Krakow Poland a Jewish reviival for the Messiah had been experienced and many Jewish people came to faith and the promise of heaven in the Messiah!.

Happy day & please pray as I help Jewish people to Jesus, they as predicted would reject their Messiah "He is despised and rejected of man, and we would as it were hide our faces from him!."

these claims were made to me

that'Jewish sources' claim that there is no concept of a second coming to fulfill prophecy!.

Yet,Scriptures say; "When we shall see him whom we have pierced we shall mourn as one mourneth for her only son which is gone!." Zecariah 12:10
Jewish writers wrote of 2 messiah's one to suffer & one to reign why not the same one coming twice!?

Prophecy ended upon the death of the last prophets -- Zechariah and Malachi ( "the one of righteousness shall come" last chapter of the prophets)

The prophecy still had to be fulfilled! "Unto us a child is born, a son is given, and he will be the wonderful counselor, the mighty God, the everlasting father and the prince of peace!." Isaiah 9:6

70 years before the destruction of the temple messiah Yeshua/Jesus came, if he had not come then as the Messiah we would be left with no fulfillment as predicted by Isaiah and commanded by Moses of the blood sacrifice Leviticus 17:11 "The blood makes atonement for the soul!."
Isaiah 53 "All we like sheep have gone astray, and the Lord will make to light on him, the iniquity of us all!." "He will lay down his life to make atonement for our soul"

the Jewish people could not die innocent/with no sin for their own sins!

DESCENDENT OF DAVID

The Messiah must be descended from King David (see Genesis 49:10= Messiah will come before the king's line is destroyed, and Isaiah 11:1& 10 "To him will the gentiles seek")!.

Mary was in the line of the root of Jessie and David=Matthew chapter 1 gives the exact perfect geneology

Jewish people today do not know if they are in the line of David so it would be impossible to know today!.

TORAH OBSERVANCE

The Messiah will lead the Jewish people to full Torah observance!. Jesus stated "I did not come to do away with the law, but to fulfill it!." John

John 9:14 records that Jesus made a clay paste to heal a blind man's who he met begging to be healed, in violation of Shabbat, which caused the Pharisees to say (verse 16), "He does not observe Shabbat!" Fact is they added to the Torah (the Talmud)their own laws and rules!.
Jesus asked if your animal child falls into a ditch on the Sabbath do you rescue it!? or put medicine on your child's eyes to keep from going blind on the Sabbath!?
If you say no youre uncaring, if you say yes but reject the Messiah for doing the same youre a hypocrite!.

VERSES "REFERRING" TO JESUS!?
VIRGIN BIRTH

The virgin birth is derived from the verse in Isaiah 7:14 describing an "alma" as giving birth!. The word "alma" has always meant a young woman!.
I already explained this and I agree with the 70 rabbis that translated it as 'virgin' to have a miracle birth of 'God with us/emanuel' what miracle would it be for a woman to have a normal birth!? and how could God be concieved from two people in birth!?

SUFFERING SERVANT

Christianity claims that Isaiah chapter 53 refers to Jesus, as the "suffering servant!."

In actuality, Isaiah 52 & 53 describing the exile and redemption of the Jewish people!.
I explained this above, what is ironic is those that claim that people with sin, could die innocent for their own sins and make atonement for themselves as well as all be born in Bethlehem=
The Messiah = "Out of Bethlehem shall come this one from eternity!." Micah 5:1&2
hehe today Bethlehem is entirely Arab, meaning if not Yeshua/Jesus, the Messiah will be an Arab

the way i came to know him was the prayer he asks us to say;

"Help me Jesus, I am sorry for my sins, even one lie, come into my heart and be my friend, amen"

this he promises to do Revelation 1:1 chapter 1 verse 1 and 3:19&20 "I love you, and ask you to repent of sin quickly!. Behold I stand at your heart door and knock, if you ask me in I will come in and be your friend!. " (sup/have fellowship)

The Messiah is my best friend I have one and his atonement too, what do you have!?

Shalom/peace David
My Jewish mom who hates Jesus was a democrat liberal like for the most part blacks and Jewish continue to be strong democratic bases
the Democratic line to ban
1!. the bible,
2 teaching of marriage instead of homosexuality and fornication, and
3God from public schools and the public too,,

yet in recent times she has changed and is even voting for McCain

maybe, because he stands against letting the terrorists take over Iran and its oil wealth to make 9/11 look like kindergarden play in the world and the USA,,
Obama's spiritual leader!.!.!., against saying God 'd' America (It should go to hell weeping forever for rejecting the salvation of Jesus/Matthew 24), or

not to forget Hillery from Arkansaw investing 300 dollars, making hundreds of thousands (White water scandal where those inviolved with the Clintons went to prison yet they stayed around to disgrace and lie to America and the whole world, but remember the hero of the Democrats Bill never inhaled or 'told a lie')

and just food for thought as someone shared this=Pedophilia is disgusting and it still goes on!. Eight-year-old wins divorce in Yemen!?
A YEMENI court has granted a divorce to an eight-year-old girl whose unemployed father forced her into an arranged marriage!.(To a 28 year old man)

In response to a question from Judge Mohammed al-Qadhi, he acknowledged that the "marriage was consummated, but I did not beat her"!.

Unbelievable it still carries on from Mohammed's time to this day!. Isn't it time Islam put an end to this immoral perversion!?


Mohamed as the Haddith says married a 9 year old Aisha, thank God in civilized countries we have prison for these types!.

The issue in Islam is not abuse of little girls, because
that men make the rules,
when we reject Jesus love and care for all mankind and salvation!.!.!.!.
As Muslim leaders the problem !.!.!. it is the major 2 groups Sunni and Shiite's = Sunni moslems the majority of Islam; blowing up each others Mosques and shrines and killing the religious leaders, since the Golden mosque bombing in Jan 2006!.
where do you stand on terrorism!? "Get out of there, and fight them 9/11 style here!?"

with socialism as with this issue be careful, and in our hearts may there be peace ;) happy day!Www@QuestionHome@Com

What made Hitler and Nazism popular was that it promised something to everyone!. They made promises of welfare, expanded public works with government jobs for the unemployed, free health care, ect!. They even promised more funding for education!. Sound anything like American politics today!? How about how European countries like France and Sweden today!? These socialist promises appealed to the German poor and unemployed!. At the same time, the Hitler & the Nazis made promises to the German aristocracy and wealthy!. Government contracts were awarded to their factories and policies were put in place that keep the wealthy in power and with a monopoly on parts of the economy!. They were anti-communist in that the wealthy feared a revolution like what happened in Russia and these programs of the Nazis were to keep everyone happy so a communist revolution didn't break out!. Small business and capitalism was not banned in Germany, just hard for the little guy to succeed in business as the government supported big business!. Hitler claimed that their system was the right balance between Communism and Lazzie-Fair Capitalism!. Hitler was very critical of capitalism as practiced in the US & Britain at the time!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
