Despite popular belief (according to Wikipedia and the public school system) that Adolf Hitler was a far-right conservative, he was actually a far-left socialist who used his unfettered power to suppress freedom, murder millions, and instigate the most destructive war in human history.
Hitler was the leader of the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (NSDAP), commonly known as the Nazi Party—the National Socialist German Workers’ Party, in English.
Hitler was unquestionably the leader (Führer) of a socialist regime. Obviously, it is not the intention of this author to equate Hitler with all socialists, or vice versa. However, almost 75 years after his death, socialism is gaining traction in the United States, making it especially pertinent to properly understand and contextualize Hitler’s demented political philosophy.
Indeed, the Nazi Party was built upon a solid socialist foundation. In 1920 (14 years before he became Führer), Hitler unveiled the National Socialist Program (NSP), a 25-point plan outlining the party’s political platform. The plan, like most Nazi propaganda, is filled with racism and other cruel rhetoric. Yet one cannot ignore that several of the 25 points articulating Nazi socialist ideology are eerily similar to policies being currently conveyed by so-called democratic socialists and other far-left progressives.
