A short while back I received some questions in my e-mail inbox regarding the politics of National-Socialism, so today I will post two questions and my answers. Perhaps others have wondered the same things.
What are your views on American democracy?
In general, it is a failed system that is hardly different from many other government systems of the past where the majority of the wealth is collected into the hands of a few, and the rest of the population gets poorer by the year. On democracy, or parliamentarianism, Adolf Hitler had this to say: “This institution is primarily responsible for the crowded inrush of mediocre people into the field of politics. Confronted with such a phenomenon, a man who is endowed with real qualities of leadership will be tempted to refrain from taking part in political life; because under these circumstances the situation does not call for a man who has a capacity for constructive statesmanship but rather for a man who is capable of bargaining for the favour of the majority. Thus the situation will appeal to small minds and will attract them accordingly.”
He added: “For under such circumstances none of the decisions taken, no matter how disastrous they may turn out for the nation as a whole, can be laid at the door of the individual whom everybody knows to be the evil genius responsible for the whole affair. All responsibility is shifted to the shoulders of the Party as a whole. In practice no actual responsibility remains. For responsibility arises only from personal duty and not from the obligations that rest with a parliamentary assembly of empty talkers.”
While that may be a brief critique, I think it sums it up nicely.
Do you agree with the Nazi ideology of Totalitarianism and complete government control of all aspects of life, or do you reject those notions? Do you believe in the idea of a President and Legislature or rather a Fuhrer and military control?
“Totalitarianism and complete government control of all aspects of life” is not at all what the NSDAP was about and not what National-Socialism (NS) stands for in the slightest, so the premise of your question is incorrect. We believe in the leadership principle where one person is responsible and held accountable for their actions and decisions who also relies on advice from a council. In a National-Socialist State, political corruption is considered a crime against the people – ie. treason – and met with swift and severe judgment.
