“National socialism derives from each of two camps the pure idea that characterises it: National resolution from bourgeois tradition; vital, creative socialism from the teaching of Marxism.” [January, 1934] Schoenbaum, p.57 “We are socialists, we are enemies of today's capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are all determined to destroy this system under all conditions.” Toland (Speech of May 1, 1927), 1976, p. 306 Adolf Hitler : The Definitive Biography http://www.abelard.org/hitler/hitler.php Hitler’s anti-Semitism became muddled with ‘racism’. This he muddled further with simplistic ideas of survival of the fittest and Hobbesian ‘nature red in tooth and claw’. Where, like Saint-Simon, Marx saw a struggle between classes, Hitler saw a struggle between races. Both these viewpoints are essentially foolish and simplistic. |
