| |
|
| |
|
| |
| [[Nazi]]sm or [[National Socialism]] in full was the ideology and practice of the German Nazi Party and of Nazi Germany as a whole. Usually characterised as an offshoot of fascism.
| |
|
| |
| Nazism subscribed to theories of racial hierarchy and social Darwinism.
| |
|
| |
| The term "[[National Socialism]]" arose out of attempts to create a nationalist redefinition of "[[Socialism|socialism]]", as an alternative to both internationalist Marxist socialism and free market [[Capitalism|capitalism]].

| '''The 25 Points of Hitler's Nazi Party'''
| |
|
| |
| : 1. We demand the union of all Germans in a Great Germany on the basis of the principle of self-determination of all peoples.
| |
|
| |
| : 2. We demand that the German people have rights equal to those of other nations; and that the Peace Treaties of Versailles and St. Germain shall be abrogated.
| |
|
| |
| : 3. We demand land and territory (colonies) for the maintenance of our people and the settlement of our surplus population.
| |
|
| |
| : 4. Only those who are our fellow countrymen can become citizens. Only those who have German blood, regardless of creed, can be our countrymen. Hence no Jew can be a countryman.
| |
|
| |
| : 5. Those who are not citizens must live in Germany as foreigners and must be subject to the law of aliens.
| |
|
| |
| : 6. The right to choose the government and determine the laws of the State shall belong only to citizens. We therefore demand that no public office, of whatever nature, whether in the central government, the province, or the municipality, shall be held by anyone who is not a citizen.
| |
|
| |
| : We wage war against the corrupt parliamentary administration whereby men are appointed to posts by favor of the party without regard to character and fitness.
| |
|
| |
| : 7. We demand that the State shall above all undertake to ensure that every citizen shall have the possibility of living decently and earning a livelihood. If it should not be possible to feed the whole population, then aliens (non-citizens) must be expelled from the Reich.
| |
|
| |
| : 8. Any further immigration of non-Germans must be prevented. We demand that all non-Germans who have entered Germany since August 2, 1914, shall be compelled to leave the Reich immediately.
| |
|
| |
| : 9. All citizens must possess equal rights and duties.
| |
|
| |
| : 10. The first duty of every citizen must be to work mentally or physically. No individual shall do any work that offends against the interest of the community to the benefit of all.
| |
|
| |
| : Therefore we demand:
| |
|
| |
| : 11. That all unearned income, and all income that does not arise from work, be abolished.
| |
|
| |
| : 12. Since every war imposes on the people fearful sacrifices in blood and treasure, all personal profit arising from the war must be regarded as treason to the people. We therefore demand the total confiscation of all war profits.
| |
|
| |
| : 13. We demand the nationalization of all trusts.
| |
|
| |
| : 14. We demand profit-sharing in large industries.
| |
|
| |
| : 15. We demand a generous increase in old-age pensions.
| |
|
| |
| : 16. We demand the creation and maintenance of a sound middle-class, the immediate communalization of large stores which will be rented cheaply to small tradespeople, and the strongest consideration must be given to ensure that small traders shall deliver the supplies needed by the State, the provinces and municipalities.
| |
|
| |
| : 17. We demand an agrarian reform in accordance with our national requirements, and the enactment of a law to expropriate the owners without compensation of any land needed for the common purpose. The abolition of ground rents, and the prohibition of all speculation in land.
| |
|
| |
| : 18. We demand that ruthless war be waged against those who work to the injury of the common welfare. Traitors, usurers, profiteers, etc., are to be punished with death, regardless of creed or race.
| |
|
| |
| : 19. We demand that Roman law, which serves a materialist ordering of the world, be replaced by German common law.
| |
|
| |
| : 20. In order to make it possible for every capable and industrious German to obtain higher education, and thus the opportunity to reach into positions of leadership, the State must assume the responsibility of organizing thoroughly the entire cultural system of the people. The curricula of all educational establishments shall be adapted to practical life. The conception of the State Idea (science of citizenship) must be taught in the schools from the very beginning. We demand that specially talented children of poor parents, whatever their station or occupation, be educated at the expense of the State.
| |
|
| |
| : 21. The State has the duty to help raise the standard of national health by providing maternity welfare centers, by prohibiting juvenile labor, by increasing physical fitness through the introduction of compulsory games and gymnastics, and by the greatest possible encouragement of associations concerned with the physical education of the young.
| |
|
| |
| : 22. We demand the abolition of the regular army and the creation of a national (folk) army.
| |
|
| |
| : 23. We demand that there be a legal campaign against those who propagate deliberate political lies and disseminate them through the press. In order to make possible the creation of a German press, we demand:
| |
|
| |
| : (a) All editors and their assistants on newspapers published in the German language shall be German citizens.
| |
|
| |
| : (b) Non-German newspapers shall only be published with the express permission of the State. They must not be published in the German language.
| |
|
| |
| : (c) All financial interests in or in any way affecting German newspapers shall be forbidden to non-Germans by law, and we demand that the punishment for transgressing this law be the immediate suppression of the newspaper and the expulsion of the non-Germans from the Reich.
| |
|
| |
| : Newspapers transgressing against the common welfare shall be suppressed. We demand legal action against those tendencies in art and literature that have a disruptive influence upon the life of our folk, and that any organizations that offend against the foregoing demands shall be dissolved.
| |
|
| |
| : 24. We demand freedom for all religious faiths in the state, insofar as they do not endanger its existence or offend the moral and ethical sense of the Germanic race.
| |
|
| |
| : The party as such represents the point of view of a positive Christianity without binding itself to any one particular confession. It fights against the Jewish materialist spirit within and without, and is convinced that a lasting recovery of our folk can only come about from within on the pinciple:
| |
|
| |
| : COMMON GOOD BEFORE INDIVIDUAL GOOD
| |
|
| |
| : 25. In order to carry out this program we demand: the creation of a strong central authority in the State, the unconditional authority by the political central parliament of the whole State and all its organizations.
| |
|
| |
| : The formation of professional committees and of committees representing the several estates of the realm, to ensure that the laws promulgated by the central authority shall be carried out by the federal states.
| |
|
| |
| : The leaders of the party undertake to promote the execution of the foregoing points at all costs, if necessary at the sacrifice of their own lives.
| |

| [[Socialism]] is about power and the NAZI's were the National Socialists.

| |
| * In 1938, the [[Nazi]] Party implemented strict gun control enabling them to collect and exterminate millions and million of people including women and children between 1939 and 1945.
| |
|
| |
| * After invading Poland in 1939, the Nazi forces utilized pre-war gun registration lists to both confiscate firearms and arrest their owners. Thereafter they were free to round up the Jews for the Warsaw Ghetto and ship them off to concentration camps.

| "National Socialism has always affirmed that it is determined to take the Christian Churches under the protection of the State. For their part the churches cannot for a second doubt that they need the protection of the State, and that only through the State can they be enabled to fulfill their religious mission. Indeed, the churches demand this protection from the State. On the other hand, in consideration for this protection, the State must require from the Churches that they in their turn should render to it that support which it needs to secure its permanence. Churches which fail to render to the State any positive support in this sense are for the State just as worthless as is for a Church the State which is incapable of fulfilling its duties to the Church. The decisive factor which can justify the existence alike of Church and State is the maintenance of men's spiritual and bodily health, for if that health were destroyed it would mean the end of the State and also the end of the Church."
