Hitler's thoughts on race

[WinkOsmosis]

Here is a quote from my Anthropology professor's lecture notes:

The conception of the nation has become meaningless . . . "the nation" as a political expedient of democracy and liberalism. We have to set in its place the conception of race. The new order cannot be conceived in terms of the national boundaries of the peoples of the historic past., but in terms of race that transcends those boundaries. I know perfectly well that in a scientific sense there is no such thing as race ... but I as a politician need a conception which enables the order which has hitherto existed on historical bases to be abolished and an entirely new and anti historical order enforced and given an intellectual basis. And for this purpose the conception of race serves me very well. With the conception of race, National Socialism will carry its revolution abroad and recast the world.
-Adolf Hitler


I don't suppose white supremacist groups realize that Hitler himself acknowledged that there is biologically no such thing as race.

So he needed a reason to jump the borders of Germany and take over the world. He needed to find common ground between the people of Germany and people of the surrounding region. They were all descendents of Germanic tribes. So he used race as his launchpad and took over. Only problem was that Jews were scattered all over Europe too. They could at any time rise up against his New Order. So he denounced the Semitic peoples and took their humanity from them. Damn.

Most importantly, he needed funding!
