“We are socialists, we are enemies of today's capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are determined to destroy this system under all conditions." - Adolf Hitler, May 1, 1927.
”[Nazi Germany is] a DEMOCRACY in the best sense of the word.”
- Adolph Hitler
“The goal of socialism is communism."
Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, Russian communist revolutionary and political theorist
"The end justifies the means."
“Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it... Means don't matter; what matters is the end ... You lie, but if you succeed, it will become truth ... success, retroactively, makes everything right."
"The great masses of the people will more easily fall victims to a big lie than to a small one." He went on to add: "What good fortune for those in power that people do not think."
In today's society, what's important is honesty and sincerity. If you can fake that, you've got it made!
"The laws adopted by the Weimar Republic intended to disarm Nazis and Communists were sufficiently discretionary that the Nazis managed to use them against their enemies once they were in power," says Clayton Cramer, author of the book Firing Back, as told to the website The Straight Dope."
"broad social welfare programs”
"its socialist policy was meant to give social welfare to German citizens deemed part of the Aryan race."
"The economic policy of Nazi Germany was dominated by the Nazis' desire for ... maximum military production and war effort on the one hand, and state control and supervision on the other hand.”
"[occupied countries] were forced to sell raw materials and agricultural products to German buyers at extremely low prices."
"Under Nazi “Germany the official unions have been made compulsory by law”, forcing every worker to join Hitler’s state-owned labor union... The Labor Front brought in employers as well as workers ... "a vast propaganda organization...a gigantic fraud" ... set up to CENTRALIZE ECONOMIC ACTIVITY."
"By 1938 unemployment was practically extinct“
“profits are ... completely subordinated [to] full employment
“unions have been made compulsory by law, forcing every worker to join Hitler’s STATE-OWNED labor union."
"Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.”
- Vladimir Lenin, Communist political theorist. Head of Soviet Russia and the Soviet Union
"There were to be two basic educational ideas in [Hitler's Nazi] state. First, there must be burnt into the heart and brains of youth the sense of race. Second, German youth must be made ready for war, educated for victory or death. The ultimate purpose of education was to fashion citizens conscious of the glory of country and filled with fanatical devotion to the national cause."
"Every educated person is a future enemy.”
- Martin Bormann, Hitler's personal secretary
"Children who know how to think for themselves spoil the harmony of the collective society which is coming, where everyone would be interdependent." …
”Independent self-reliant people … a counterproductive anachronism in the collective society of the future."
- John Dewey, the father of modern U.S. education
”I am a socialist because it seems to me incomprehensible to nurture and treat a machine with care, but to deceive the noblest representative of the work, the human being.”
- Adolf Hitler, Monument for the German Labour Front, Dorstfeld 1935.
"Generally, National Socialists [Nazis] had a history of hostility towards the business community, the profit motive, and "unearned income"
“[In Nazi Germany,] profits are so completely subordinated [to] full employment that … the profit principle is purely theoretical.”

“The broad masses ... more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods."
The Nazi propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels, elucidated (clarified):“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie ... the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the state."
"In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act."
- George Orwell
“Since we are SOCIALISTS, we must necessarily also be ANTISEMITES because we want to fight against the very opposite: materialism and mammonism… How can you not be an antisemite, being a socialist?”
"There is substantial evidence of Nazi political violence directed against major sections of the German population, especially the working class. ... those who tried to vote against the regime, or even just declined to vote, were “beaten up by the brownshirts, or dragged through the streets with placards round their neck, calling them traitors.“
"The Nazis maintained power in part through massive political repression and violence directed against the German people."
Shortly after coming to power, Hitler told a confidant: "There is no license any more, no private sphere where the individual belongs to himself."
"[W]e have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. . . . Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
"There are two breeds of Bolshevism.....there is NOTHING to choose between the philosophies of Moscow and Berlin.”
- Duff Cooper, British politician, 1939 August 23
"[Nazi] Germany is a DEMOCRACY in the best sense of the word.” - Adolph Hitler
"The goal of socialism IS communism.”
- Vladimir Lenin, Communist political theorist. Head of Soviet Russia and the Soviet Union
"In the last few years, the very idea of telling the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth is dredged up only as a final resort when the alternative options of deception, threat and bribery have all been exhausted."
