Traitors to their own countries because of their lefty progressive policies....... all of which are a contradiction to the reasons they were commemorating the lives of those who died in service in the Great War & WW2.
Werent the Germans rightwing?
National Socialist German Workers' PartyAnd you purport to be intelligent ............
Socialist in name only.
No, socialist in reality
Joseph Goebbels studied socialism and in the end rejected the Soviet universal style socialism of the USSR
Hitler also rejected that style of socialism which gave Goebbels reason to join Hitler in his quest for national socialism. They both supported it
It's doubtful they would have joined together if they had different views on which type of socialism they both wanted for Germany
National socialism is pretty much against both liberal democracy and the parliamentary system. At the same time, it tried to come up with a new concept of control other than capitalism and communism.
At the very basic, all control ideologies is about struggles. Both Capitalism and communism sees this struggle (as it had been for as long as the written history). Capitalism tried to resolve this via trickle down economics, as in if the rich get richer, then, it would invest and therefore benefit the lower society. Investment is therefore encouraged, and such system works in an environment of limited resources. Communism sees the struggle, and believe that class struggle inevitable. And that in order to achieve peace, the state should control everything, and that everyone supposed to have a fair share. This system of course, does not work well at the end.
With national socialism, Hitler wanted something different. So instead of class struggle, he used the idealogy of race struggle (which had been used in the past a lot of times). Of course, the race that he belong to, and most of his countryman belong to are the 'master' race. And their goal is to retake back the German land that they lost, and expand into other lands for benefit of this master race. And because this goal is so divine, every German citizen of Aryan race to subordinate their personal interests to the "common good". In order to facilitate that, they singled out Jews and communists for the population, still recovering from their previous WW1 loss, and wants an quick answer.
The Jews were the perfect scapegoats. They were seen as relatively rich, non Aryan, and many believed that German lost WW1 because of them. And for Hitler, they are perfect as well, since the Jewish population do hold enormous amounts of wealth. And with the economy in dire situation, he needed cash and need them fast. And hence the speed of the 'final solution'.
