There are only 10,000 videos on KZbin alone about Germany during the N@zl era. people are lazy. All we need are a bunch of new experts on the subject since they watched a Simon video.. One can acquire historical knowledge that would surpass that of a damned history major if they utilized 1/1,000,000 of the information available here on YT. I can have very few conversations these days about historical matters, partly due to the youth U 30 not even knowing who G.Washington is. It's kind of sad that our kids aren't learning much. They are being Indoctrinated though, which will make them good little n@zl's when the dems get back in office. They didn't have enough time to implement in just 4 years the braindead one has had in office. It's coming though. And to all those who say BS, the only party & people who desire authoritarian control are on the left. Your rhetoric surrounding the orange person is a joke.

​@BeenGoldenBro, just saying nazi or Hitler is grounds for demonization. To the point that smaller channels have to come up with creative ways of talking about nazis.

[@deaks25]

@BeenGolden Yes, I absolutely mean that. As the other comment mentions; just mentioning that party or it's leader is likely to get a video automatically demonetised by the Algorithm, and everyone who has worked on this video does want to get paid... So do we juts ignore the past and the lessons it teaches or us, or pull our thumbs out of our asses and look at in depth, knowing it will not be comfortable or pleasant. Plus I firmly believe we're in a period of history where we could quite easily repeat the events of nearly 100 years ago; the world is becoming more polarised, tribal, isolationist and nationalistic, which are the exact circumstances that led us to WWII, so yes it is extremely important we educate ourselves on what came before so we don't do the same dumb sh*t all over again. And to do that, we have to be willing to look at how the Nazi's came to power, the words and phrasing they used to indoctrinate the population. If you look at what a look of leaders, politicians and activist/pressure groups are doing and saying, there are a shocking number of similarities.

According to a video about the Beerhall Putch by historian Mark Felton, the idea behind the name change from German Workers Party, DAP, to National Socialist German Workers Party, NSDAP, was to reach out to those in Germany who were on the "moderate left," but as another historian, John D. Ruddy, points out: "don't let the name fool you, just because it has "Socialist" in its name, it doesn't make "National Socialist" left wing."

[@timothyhouse1622]

There were elements within the Nazi party that were left wing. What many people mistakenly believe is that Hitler founded the Nazi party. He didn't, he took it over. Those same people also seem to forget about a very import historical event that happened on June 30, 1934 called the Night of Long Knives. That is when ALL of those left and moderate leaning political leaders in the NSDAP were KILLED and all that was left was far right.

[@aq5426]

It doesn't stop the MAGAs from claiming that Nazis are leftist, though.

[@CharlesYuditsky]

Ruddy is enrirely wrong. The defining characteristic of left and right wing is how the ideology views the need for government (literally Control Mind in latin) control. Since the late 1800s the left has been emphatic for maximal government control . This is PERFECTLY in line with how Nazis viewed government. Thus they are left wing

There were also those known at the time as the "roast beef" members of the party - former "reds" in "brown" clothing that had crossed from the communists to the NSDAP, attracted by the revolutionary aspects of the party against the traditional reactionaries, not put off by the clear hierarchical bent that sought to replace the old elites of the monarchy with new ones ("meritocraticically" to arise from those the party approved of).

I would have thought that an explanation of Himmler’s quote on homosexuality was warranted. When he talks about finding bodies, he is referring to bog bodies from the Iron Age, found across Europe, who mostly died violent deaths.

I do agree that Nazism, as a distinct political movement, died in a bunker on April 30, 1945. Well, sort of, you had diehards that stuck around who were too cowardly to take their leaders route, but they aren't around now. What you do have is politically similar ideologies from folks who took a lot of inspiration from the Nazis. Of course, there are those folks that do the typical internet thing of calling someone a Nazi who doesn't agree with them. This, unfortunately, means that there are those who are actually acting like Nazis who try to use Godwin Rule to win the argument. They have also tried to extend Godwin's Rule to being labeled FASCIST and that is a political ideology that has NOT died out.

15:50 "Third position" is what the Nazis said about themselves, but a lot of what Nazis (and the fashos more generally) say is advertising designed to co-opt the causes of the left for the goals of the right. Example: "Job insecurity and wage exploitation? Had you considered immigrants are to blame?" If you want to understand what they *really* believe, you need to give more weight to what they do than what they say. They expressed disdain for (non-Nazi) conservatives and monarchists, but who got sent up the chimney? The disabled, the mentally ill, the communists, the Jews, and the Gypsies. To get lined up against the wall as a German conservative, you had to be connected to the bomb plot.

Sort of like the Bolsheviks in Russia, difference being the reds won and had time to come up with a polished ideology and foundation.

[@SusCalvin]

The NSDAP is always about the bombastic and glorious. I think they didn't have much more ideas. They are like a party of apocalyptic conspiracy theorists who believe an international jewish cabal will bring about the end of days. There is an ideological/leadership split between Stalin and Trotsky at the time. Trotsky is still a violent revolutionary, but he believes in the world revolution. Like setting up one revolution after another in Berlin, Paris etc.

Nazism: Weaponizes racism for genocide Communism: Weaponizes compassion for genocide. Is there one on Leninism and Stalinism too. My friend's dad growing up was a refugee from the Ukraine. He'd rarely talk about the trauma, but when he did, it gave me nightmares. I heard a lot of both Nazism and Communism. I actually think Communism is far worse by virtue of sheer widespread horrors, longevity, and insidious perversion of humanity's greatest trait, weaponizing compassion into a torture device.

[@Constabruity]

There's arguably only been one nation subject to Nazism, yet many nations in the world have been or are subject to communism. Yet there are a myriad of people claiming communism isn't bad because it hasn't been tried yet.

[@coltizz]

Well one ideology almost died out and is banned in almost all countries on earth. While Communism still exists today in Russia, China. And both of the big ones still want to take over the world and control all power there is to get. Communism is worse even than Nazism so many more people have died in the name of Communism. And the extreme left is only growing bigger and bigger by the day. I wish they could read history and understand that Communism never works out.

[@venera13]

A commonality that applies to everything is that single party rule is never good. A country governed by 1 party or 1 family for a prolonged time will always slip into autocracy and dictatorial rule. Nazi ideology I would wager is worse in that it's stated goals are always nationalistic and violent. Communism is deeply flawed in that when not in power it wants a nebulous concept of equality and power to the people. But in practice it always slips into single party dictatorships which runs at full speed towards atrocities. Both Nazism and communism lead towards atrocities, but communists don't intend for that to be the outcome, where nazi's do.

8 months late to this. Will probably go unseen, but still. This is an amazing video, very nuanced. I really hope we see follow-up ones coming some day! My two cents would be: -A major economic aspect of Nazism was a fallacy (Shrinking Markets in english?) to the effect that industrialized countries like Germany would lose trading partners and therefore access to resources as less developed countries industrialized. Trading was, to them, only a short-term option. Nazis dismantled the entire industries of the occupied territories; they wanted de-industrialized client states and slave labour. That was a big inspiration for S.M. Stirling's Draka and how they conquer and dominate, if you're into alt history. -I think Nazism (moreso the different fascisms) show that right and left are outdated ideas that do not accurately represent the diversity of political and economic thought, neither in these extremes nor in more reasonable political systems. They definitely had collectivist totalitarian measures and appealed to nationalistic elements of the left wing at the time -e.g. the 'roast beef' nazis in the SA that got purged. I'd say they were opportunist totalitarians, appealing to the worst or the left and right: The desire for revolution and tendency towards state-control of the former, and the ages-old hatred and bigotry of the latter.

There is nothing conservative about extremism. There sure isn't anything liberal about extremism either. People should dissociate so-called "left-wing extremism" from liberalism and "so-called right-wing extremism from conservatism'. In fact, both "sides" of extremism are one and the same. They share the same absence of true elections, and true opposition parties, the use of ultra-violence, the absence of free-speech, the hatred of the press, we could go on all night... One could say the methods are similar but the ideologies are different but I would disagree with even that. The "ideologies" behind extremism are but empty word used to justify barbarism in order to reach its true purpose: obtaining and maintaining power. End of story.

​@@-MisterWhite...​@-MisterWhite... maybe. My small brain always kind of figured that the Jewish Germans still had money, art, gold, jewellery, big houses etc. and they persecuted them just so they could rob it all and pass it off as racial intolerance that they whipped up among the dumb public who were poor and hungry. I'm often wrong though but often stuff boils down to simple greed. Plus all this blood and soil stuff sounds very much like rhetoric to get a massive following among the more simple country folk that significantly outnumber the city folk. Pretty much equivalent to what Taksin did with the red shirts in Thailand more recently. Although Germany had only just become a real country and I guess the monarchy just wound their neck in there rather than in Thailand where they diffused the whole red shirt yellow shirt thing with pink shirts. Black shirts and gold stars? Who knows, the past was the worst.

[@SusCalvin]

The NSDAP has a sort of path to how fast they can change Germany. They can't just snap their fingers and everyone suddenly believes a jew cabal is out there. It takes a few years of escalation for them. When the Kristallnacht comes around, it's been going on for years and it's a bit too late to turn around. A bunch of the NSDAP heads despise the german lutheran church but immediately starting to purge priests would have riled up the largely conservative germans.

Just came off your video on Putin into this one (and I’ve watched more of you). Don’t know if you’ll see this or not but you’re actually awesome. It’s almost impossible to get a deep lecture into something and understanding how, why, or when and what made individuals or an individual into something historical. These people were absolutely right and justified to them and others and you have to know how or what drove them to it. And it can’t simply be explained by “this bad” if you want to avoid mistakes of the past because there are multiple steps, things, and passing of time that leads to it.

After the fall of the USSR the 90's was a time with a lot of hope for a new world order where the huge wars were led behind, then came the balkans, koxovo, somalia, Kuwait, but we never suspected fascism would be back so soon.

I think it's different though. Most of the fascist supporters today are in denial about their leaders being fascist. I don't think they would support an actual fascist regime.

Simply put, you have three ways of looking at this. Position 1: Nazism is an extreme right wing philosophy and ideology, and here's 79 years of intense, in depth, heart breaking, soul shattering research into the absolute worst humanity has to offer, to thoroughly and abruptly (as much as we can get anyway) explain our reasoning as to why. Position 2: Nazism is a 3rd Position ideology, most of this information coming from first hand accounts directly written, recorded, and transcribed by the people who said, and thought them. This could be taken seriously, or as the deranged ramblings of mad men, the choice is yours since we can't with 100% efficacy or accuracy, tell you exactly what another person meant when they don't speak with absolute direction and conviction. Position 3: Nazism is a left wing ideology because it has Socialism in the name, and now I'm going to blatantly ignore the significant number of communists, socialists, anarchists, and other political prisoners were mass murdered in death camps.
