From the Nazi's mouth
A number of historically ignorant defenders of national socialism have
tried to claim that it is not a left-wing socialist ideology. This is utterly
and absolutely false, and can be easily and conclusively proven to be false in
a number of ways, including by reading a number of direct quotes from Mr.
Hitler himself. Note, in particular, that the ultimate goal is
"international socialism".
- It is not Germany that will turn Bolshevist but
Bolshevism that will become a sort of National Socialism. Besides, there
is more that binds us to Bolshevism than separates us from it…. 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 Communist always will.
- We National Socialists wish precisely to attract all
socialists, even the Communists; we wish to win them over from their
international camp to the national one.
- I have learned a great deal from Marxism as I do not
hesitate to admit… The difference between them and myself is that I have
really put into practice what these peddlers and pen pushers have timidly
begun. The whole of National Socialism is based on it… National Socialism
is what Marxism might have been if it could have broken its absurd and
artificial ties with a democratic order.
- After all, that’s exactly why we call ourselves
National Socialists! We want to start by implementing socialism in our
nation among our Volk! It is not until the individual nations are
socialist that they can address themselves to international socialism.
- The Revolution we have made is not a national
revolution, but a National-Socialist Revolution. We would even underline
this last word, "Socialist."
- There is a difference between the theoretical knowledge
of socialism and the practical life of socialism. People are not born
socialists, but must first be taught how to become them.
- I, on the other hand, have tried for two decades to
build a new socialist order in Germany, with a minimum of interference and
without harming our productive capacity.
As you can see, no adherent to this ideology has any place on the
Right, nor can he reasonably describe himself as being Alt-Right. I direct your
attention to the very first point of the Alt-Right:
- The Alt Right is
of the political right in both the American and the European sense of the
term. Socialists are not Alt Right. Progressives are not Alt Right.
Liberals are not Alt Right. Communists, Marxists, Marxians, cultural
Marxists, and neocons are not Alt Right.
Being socialists, national
socialists of any stripe can never legitimately claim to be Alt Right.
