“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] “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 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. |© 2002-2008.
