Fascism

Adolf Hitler ran for public office under the Socialist Party and was very obsessed with the occult and witchcraft. A lot of the nazis were into socialism, but most were not into witchcraft.

The Nazis conquered much of Europe, and collected and exterminated millions of Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals, etc.

It is shorthand for the full party name, National Socialist German Workers' Party, Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei in German.

NO, but there are definitely aspects of irridentist nationalism in the current Hungarian government. Hungary is an illiberal democracy that has some degree of voting and some restrictions on its freedom of speech, but its closest link to fascism is its irridentism and nationalism. Regardless, there is no totalitarian apparatus in the Hungarian government as it currently exists and corporatism is not currently a Hungarian economic policy (which is more-or-less controlled by the European Union).

Definition of Fascism:
Fascism is a variant of extreme corporatist nationalism headed by an authoritarian leadership and is usually classified as a far-right political theory. It originated in Italy under Mussolini and Hitler's Nazism is a variant of Fascism. Fascist movements shared certain common features, including the veneration of the state, a devotion to a strong leader, and an emphasis on ultra-nationalism and militarism. Fascism views political violence, war, and imperialism positively and it asserts that stronger nations have the right to expand their territory by displacing weaker nations since the national race was in perpetual conflict with other nations and races. It also argues that corporations should be able to maintain independence from direct government control (in contrast to communism), but that these privately-owned and run corporations should work in tandem with government interests.

If your referring to the pamphlet "Those damned Nazis" by Joseph Goebbels, than "those damned Nazis" is a fundamental statement of what it means to be a national socialist as well as a criticism of the left and the right wind in German party politics. Its actually pretty straight forward but if i suppose the cliff notes would be as follows.

In the first part of the pamphlet, the nation state is described as an organic union of people. To be nationalist is to believe the nation is the only way to bring all the forces of the nation together to preserve and improve the conditions under which national citizens live. However to be National or nationalist has nothing to do with supporting a particular form of government, rather the nationalist embraces any form of government that preserves the content of the nation. In this part Goebbels criticizes people who associate the nation only with a particular political form (monarchy, republic, etc) or with a particular economic forms (private property vs state ownership). The nationalist sees that all these political and economic forms are temporal but that the content of the nation is eternal.

In the second part of the pamphlet, socialism is described as the means to create a classless society. Goebbels criticizes international capitalism because it allows for the wealth of a nation to be used in a manner which destructive to the nation state and criticizes Marxism because it degrades the question of socialism to matters of "wages and the stomach" namely redistribution of wealth. Contrary to international capitalism and international socialism, Nationalist Socialism concerns forming a new state consciousness that includes every productive citizen.

Goebbels sums up the first two parts by stating that the Nazi is against bourgeoisie party politics and for genuine nationalism, against Marxism but for true socialism, united domestically and free internationally.

In the third part of the pamphlet Goebbels explains what is meant by workers party. Here the worker's party is radically redefined to include anyone who is involved in what that Nazis economist call productive labor. The notion relies on a principle that anyone who creates value for the community and the state is a worker (not just industrial workers). Here again there is criticism of capitalism, in particular using workers like they are a machine in work which is not creative or valueless.

The forth part of the pamphlet roles out the anti-Semitic portion of the pamphlet and is pretty much uninteresting nonsense. Though the basic claim is that the Jews as a community are either pro-capitalist and internationalist and opposed to national socialist workers.

the fivth part of the pamphlet lists the revolutionary demands of the NSDAP and is basically the Nazis early party political platform listing a number of international and domestic demands better conditions for workers and the rejection of the treaty of Versailles.

Comments: All in all its a pretty interesting argument that cleverly splits the difference between the radical right and radical left in German politics during the 30 and manages to synthesize the best of both into a unified philosophy. Unfortunately everything promising about this pamphlet was quickly compromised when the Nazis came into power, Goebbels and other radical socialists in the NSDAP quickly became outsiders unless they compromised these ideas.

P.S. hope this helped.

YES! Very much so. It supported nazi during ww2.

well the treaty of versaille ended world war one. and basically the germans got screwed over by the other big countries such as the US, so germans became pissed off and this lead hitler to take power in germany. Hitler empowered germans through a sense of nationalistic pride, saying that the treaty of versaille was very unfair. He even said stuff like "we will break the chains of versaille", and this ultimately led to world war two

Since the foundation of the Nazi party, there have been members all over the world. The majority lived in Germany up until the end of the Second World War but others lived in countries like England and the United States.

Today, people who call themselves Nazis are generally white males who live in Western Europe and in the United States.

A Nazi is a person in the political party that was created by Hitler.

not any more.

dude, thats false

They most certainly did not act alone. Some countries even paid the Nazis to take their Jews. In France the rounding up of Jews was done by the French police and the transportation done by the French railways.

Women became restricted by rigid, traditional gender roles.

For the first time in history, a country was attacked from sea, ground and air at the same time. Sweden was neutral and that gave nazi-Germany free pass straight into Norway. Norway was completely paralysed and just had to give in.. the government and the royal family escaped to the UK.

Italy was the first Fascist state in Europe, with Mussolini seizing power in 1922. Hitler's Germany is the most infamous of the fascist states, but along with Italy these powers did not last beyond WWII. Spain and Portugal also fell to Fascism in the 1930's, with the regimes lasting into the 1970s.


Additionally, a puppet Fascist state existed in wartime Croatia and in Vichy France, and sympathetic Fascist leaders/individuals were active in perpetrating the Holocaust across Ukraine and the Baltic states.

Yes, they sided with the Axis powers in 1945. but before that they were kinda worse than Nazis. They had dozens of death camps where they tortured and murdered about a million people, most of them Serbs. They even had a Croatian Fuhrer named Ante Pavelić who is now, if I'm not mistaken, a national hero. Nice work, Croatia!

EDIT

Whoever wrote the answer is a cretin. Surely, the state of Croatia did ally with Axis in WWII, but also much more Croats went with a southern-Slavic resistance army called Partizani (Partisans if you may) which would win eventually and form Yugoslavia. And Ante Pavelić is not a national hero, rather he is considered a shame to a Croatian country. However, Partisans, Yugoslavia and Tito in Croatia are controversial.

Fash-ism

the halocaust

I do because Hitler was a great man, he leaded a country which was suffering fromgreat depression and being treated unfairly by the allies and transformed germany into a greater era, When hitler camed into power, he gave what the germans lost and he still gave more.

Hitler took other poland in 2 weeks, he took other France in 6 weeks, If no one says thats nothing, i like to see a country take other a country less than a month which has a good military.

Nazis gave germany a good economy, he got rid off allies trade and only send their products to their allies, Italians, astrians etc.

Hitler was leader of a group of people who killed millions of jews and captured million POWs from poland and Soviet.

Hitler is a well respective man and his believes and spirit will live on

Hitler was a murdering thug who used Jews as a scapegoat. He led his country down a path of destruction and shame.

In Democracy, the people control the government. In Fascism, the government controls the people.

the attidue against minortys was vary bad so they killed them for fun

Adolf Hitler (the nazis leader) was at peace with eastern counties like russia, but were fighting against europeans in the west. Hitler was cocky and put up a fight with the russians and ended up having to defend both sides. It was too much and Hitler caused the fall of his army.

Well, The German army was beginning to lose the fight at about 1944, with large scale engagements tending to fall over to the Russians. I'm not entriely sure but I would confidently say that Germany was pulling back later 1944, and at full scale retreat at 1945.
