To compare the name of the political party, the NSDAP or Nationale Sozialistische Deutsche Arbeiter Partei (National Socialist German Workers Party) with the name given to a communist country is unbelievably stupid.
When the NSDAP was created, it had only a handful of members. They obviously chose a name that reflected the values held by those founders in order to ATTRACT LIKE-MINDED FOLLOWERS!
It's obivous that someone who believed in classical liberalism and a free market would NEVER join a party that called itself "SOCIALIST" and which had an entirely socialist propgram! (Look it up - the 25 point program is on Wikipedia).
The people who joined and controlled the party were obviously SOCIALISTS.
In fact, they were not just socialists, they were MARXISTS. Hitler had joined the KPD before co-creating the NSDAP. He had read Marx and agreed with practically everything.
Most people simply don't understand that Marx & Engels believed in EXACTLY the same things as the Nazis:
- Marx & Engels were extremely racist and antisemitic!
Some people try to deny this by pointing out that Marx was "ethnically Jewish", but that's completely irrelevant - just look at the number of white BLM supporters to understand that being of a given race or ethnicity does not prevent self-hatred.
Marx's parents had converted to Protestantism. Marx looked down on Jews. He considered them "greedy" and the "cause" of capitalism - as if free traded needed any cause or founder...
Just read his pamphlet "About the Jewish Question", 1844.
But most of all, read the correspondence between Marx & Engels. They consistently refer to Jewish people in a hateful, condescending way.
- In several of their letters, they talk about Lassalle, one of Marx's major opponents. They mock the fact that he is Jewish and apparently half black. They use the N word a lot to describe him.
- Both were GERMAN NATIONALISTS. Most passages of Engels in "Die Rheinische" are of such extreme nationalism that anyone who reads it without knowledge must think that it was written by Hitler himself.
Hitler and Stalin ALLIED - well before they signed the infamous Molotov-Ribbentrop treaty. Stalin called Hitler his "Socialist brother".
So antisemitism, racism and national socialism are MARXIST values.
