The common collectivist roots of internationalist Marxist Socialism and German National Socialism is a crucial topic that bears constant repetition to the attentive public. The subject has received previous detailed exposure in vital works such as Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn’s Leftism: from de Sade and Marx to Hitler and Marcuse, and Jonah Goldberg’s Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Change. I contributed a brief piece myself on the subject at LRC a number of years ago. Watch the brief video segment above comparing and contrasting contemporary German National Socialist propaganda posters with those of Soviet Union (with the Internationale playing in the background) It is one of the most amazing examples of film editing I have witnessed.
There is photographic, video and contemporary reports of Adolf Hitler being elected into the Socialist Bavarian People’s State and the Communist Bavarian Soviet Republic. While historians have acknowledged that this happened, they’re reluctant to come to any conclusions regarding it (since it will fundamentally undermine their own narratives). In these videos, we’re going to dive into the evidence and the debate surrounding this topic. Was Hitler a Communist in 1919? Let’s find out.
Some continue to believe that Hitler and National Socialism wasn’t REAL (National) Socialism. Some believe that the totalitarian State of the Third Reich had no power at all, and that the market was ‘free’. They want to believe that Hitler and his State had NO control over the economy, and that the ideology of National Socialism didn’t call for the creation of a ‘People’s State’ after the conquest of Lebensraum. Yes, 80 years after the events in question, many are still pushing a contradictory narrative that directly goes against the colossal amount of evidence pointing towards the opposite conclusion, and then refuse to even consider the possibility that they might be wrong in their interpretation. Well today, we will walk through numerous primary and secondary sources, show the substantial amount of flaws in the denialist argument, and present a solid interpretation of the evidence that makes much more sense than the denialist argument ever has.
Hitler and the Socialist Dream, by George Watson
Hitler declared that ‘national socialism was based on Marx’. Socialists have always disowned him. But this authoritative book insists that he was, at heart, a left-winger
Killing History: The False Left-Right Political Spectrum and the Battle between the ‘Free Left’ and the ‘Statist Left’, by L. K. Samuels
If the two polar opposites are Communism versus Fascism, what is in the middle? Is everyone not on the extreme ends half communist and half fascist? Nobody believes that, but the old yet current political spectrum prescribes that exact political scenario. So what happened? In an effort to rewrite history, the political dichotomy has been deliberately broken, falsified, sabotaged, and made meaningless, causing the public to lose their way through the contorted political maze. With well over 1,500 footnotes from historians and political scientists, this book refurbishes the political spectrum and restores it to its original French Revolution roots and a common sense approach. Now anyone can navigate the political swampland with a faithful compass to triangulate one’s own political position, and peel back layers of distorted history. Some of the lesser-known historical facts revealed in this book include Mussolini’s two decade advocacy of Marxism, where for over six years he was both a Marxist heretic and an Italian Fascist, combined into a Fascist–Marxist duopoly and ideology. In 1919 a red armband-wearing Hitler became an elected official in the communist-run Bavarian Soviet Republic. He later proclaimed himself a “Social Democrat.” Most of the major Nazi and Fascist leaders were Marxists, or hard-core socialists who opposed both the bourgeoisie and capitalistic Jews.
