“What later came to be known as Fascism was in fact essentially the same as what was known in the USA of the late 19th and early 20th century as "Progressivism", so Fascism is in fact as much an American invention as a European one. The Europeans carried out fully the ideas that American Leftists invented but could only partially implement. America itself resisted the worst of the Fascist virus but much of Europe did not. The American Left have a lot to answer for. I have outlined the largely Leftist roots of eugenics here and the largely American roots of Fascism here”
For my first exhibit, showing the socialist links and shared iconography of Nazis and Communism.
“There is an interesting comment on the graphic above by a Russian speaker. He points out that the shoulder patch above was specifically designed for Kalmyk troops.”
Regarding the Waffen SS,
The meaning behind both, the initials ( S.S.) and the Nazi twist of the swastika:
“In German, not only the word "Socialism" (Sozialismus) but also the word "Victory" (Sieg) begins with an "S". So he said that the two letters "S" in the hooked-cross (swastika) also stood for the victory of Aryan man and the victory of the idea that the "worker" was a creative force: Nationalism plus socialism again, in other words.”
Notice the Austrian corporals depiction, beside one of Stalin.
Coincidence?
“The "Roman" salute is generally said to have been invented by Mussolini but Musso was a Marxist who knew Lenin well so it is not surprising that Stalin was influenced by Musso's ideas for a while.”
REGARDING TRADE UNIONS:
“As things stand today, the trade unions in my opinion cannot be dispensed with. On the contrary, they are among the most important institutions of the nation's economic life. Their significance lies not only in the social and political field, but even more in the general field of national politics. A people whose broad masses, through a sound trade-union movement, obtain the satisfaction of their living requirements and at the same time an education, will be tremendously strengthened in its power of resistance in the struggle for existence".
It could well be any Leftist speaker of the present time but it is in fact a small excerpt fromchapter 12 ofMein Kampf,”
“let us listen to Hitler himself on the matter:
"There is more that binds us to Bolshevism than separates us from it. There is, above all, genuine, revolutionary feeling, which is alive everywhere in Russia except where there are Jewish Marxists. I have always made allowance for this circumstance, and given orders that former Communists are to be admitted to the party at once. The petit bourgeois Social-Democrat and the trade-union boss will never make a National Socialist, but the Communists always will."
Another quote:
"Of what importance is all that, if I range men firmly within a discipline they cannot escape? Let them own land or factories as much as they please. The decisive factor is that the State, through the Party, is supreme over them regardless of whether they are owners or workers. All that is unessential; our socialism goes far deeper. It establishes a relationship of the individual to the State, the national community. Why need we trouble to socialize banks and factories? We socialize human beings."
(Both quotes above are from Hermann Rauschning in Hitler Speaks, London, T. Butterworth, 1940, also called The Voice of Destruction. See e.g. here.”
“The Nazi election poster below is headed: "We workers are awoken" ("Wir Arbeiter sind erwacht")”
And then this:
And we all know how evil Nazi eugenics were, don't we? How crazy were their efforts to build up the "master race" through selective breeding of SS men with the best of German women -- the "Lebensborn" project? Good Leftists today recoil in horror from all that of course. But who were the great supporters of eugenics in Hitler's day? They were in fact American Leftists -- and eugenics was only one of the ideas that Hitler got from that source. What later came to be known as Fascism was in fact essentially the same as what was known in the USA of the late 19th and early 20th century as "Progressivism", so Fascism is in fact as much an American invention as a European one. The Europeans carried out fully the ideas that American Leftists invented but could only partially implement. America itself resisted the worst of the Fascist virus but much of Europe did not. The American Left have a lot to answer for. I have outlined the largely Leftist roots of eugenics here and the largely American roots of Fascism here.
So even Hitler's eugenics were yet another part of Hitler's LEFTISM! He got his eugenic theories from the Leftists of his day. He was simply being a good Leftist intellectual in subscribing to such theories.”

I merely point towards the references.
These works, these references reveal the truth about the current progressive movements within both, North America, as well as Europe and Australia.
It is very interesting: people who think that socialism is good reason that Hitler cannot possibly have been a socialist, because he was bad.
However, people who find socialism as evil and destructive have no difficulty identifying socialist tendencies in National Socialism, especially hostility to the free market system and belief in strict government regulation of the economy. So, the capitalists were allowed to keep their businesses and some profits, but they were completely controlled by the government.
Andrei Znamensky's book "Socialism as a Secular Creed: A Modern Global History" as some good information on Hitler's national SOCIALISM.
There are international socialists (Comintern) and national socialists (Germany). Right there for all to see, apparently hidden in plain sight. Mussolini spent a fair amount of time in prison or avoiding prison because of his radical socialist views. A large portion of the groups which Franco consolidated into Flange-JONS-whatever-that-was were ardent with the socialistic stuff.
“Autarchy” - the economic goal of total self-sufficiency favored by Franco and to a certain extent the Nazis, inevitably results in a big shift toward socialism / central control of the economy.
People really need to get the “virtue” and “principles” nonsense out of politics and political history. No, dear, socialists do not “at least have principles” as they slink off into nostalgic failure. They’re politicians. If they had “principles” in the first place, they’d have done something good for their country / society / the proliteriat - like start a business, open a school, join the military, be a volunteer fireman, etc. These supposed “principles” can easily be substituted for “aryan race,” or “perfect communism” without altering the sense of the text.
It’s politics. Not morality. Have morals first and separately, then do politics if you must. (I say don’t bother, read a good book instead).
