Hitler was a National Socialist in much the same way that George Bush is a compassionate conservative.
Hitler used the brown shirts (SA) to go after socialists and communists in the streets -- disrupt their rallies and beat the living sh!t out of them. When he consolidated power and first opened his concentration camps, many of the very first "invited guests" were socialists and communists. Hitler killed every single communist he could get his hands on. Hitler was a facist (state corporatism).
hitler used his stormtroopers to go after ANY rival to his rise to power, most dictators do whatever their ideaology. actually socialism and communism are all about state corporatism(the nationalization of industry, banking and credit institutions) this is where they all fail, once the state has total power, those in governemnt have total power, and they want to keep it. latest example:
the baath socialist party in iraq under sadam hussein.
fascism:
a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.
communism:
1 a : a theory advocating elimination of private property b : a system in which goods are owned in common and are available to all as needed
2 capitalized a : a doctrine based on revolutionary Marxian socialism and Marxism-Leninism that was the official ideology of the U.S.S.R. b : a totalitarian system of government in which a single authoritarian party controls state-owned means of production c : a final stage of society in Marxist theory in which the state has withered away and economic goods are distributed equitably
socialism:
any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods
2 a : a system of society or group living in which there is no private property b : a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state
3 : a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done
in theory all 3 ideaologies have much in common and their differences...but in
application they all end up the same:
1. a government with total power
2. a dictator or oligarchy in control of said government.
3. the disdain of the individual.
i have to leave for my trip, in the meantime let hardwarrior entertain you with his vivid imagination
and i leave you with this thought.
the only reason you have any rights collectively as citizens is your rights as individuals, a group made up of individuals with no freedoms still have no freedom collectively.
