This sure sounds like “nationalization” of an associated industry!įinally, we must not forget the endless “land reform” policies advocated by far-left zealots. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), would end usury-also known as “unearned incomes.” Or consider “Medicare for All,” a stalwart of the Sanders Ocasio-Cortez coalition. Shockingly, many of these destructive policies are disturbingly similar to proposals from far-left progressives.Ĭase in point: The Loan Shark Prevention Act, recently touted by Rep. However, the rest of the above policies are completely counter to America’s founding principles. And one of these, old age welfare, is already in place in the United States.

No doubt, these six NSP points cover a wide scope of socialist dogmas. In points 11 through 17, the NSP calls for the “abolition of unearned incomes,” the “total confiscation of all war profits,” the “nationalization of all associated industries,” the “division of profits of all heavy industries,” the “expansion on a large scale of old age welfare,” the “immediate communalization of the great warehouses,” and “a land reform suitable to our needs.”

In fact, the “Green New Deal” includes a guaranteed government jobs program and a basic income, even for those unwilling to work. 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.įor instance, in point seven, the Nazis “demand that the state be charged first with providing the opportunity for a livelihood and way of life for the citizens.” This core tenet of socialism, though completely antithetical to American values, is being advocated for by many on the far left. The plan, like most Nazi propaganda, is filled with racism and other cruel rhetoric. 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. Indeed, the Nazi Party was built upon a solid socialist foundation. 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. Obviously, it is not the intention of this author to equate Hitler with all socialists, or vice versa. Hitler was unquestionably the leader (Führer) of a socialist regime.

Hitler was the leader of the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (NSDAP), commonly known as the Nazi Party-the National Socialist German Workers’ Party, in English. 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.
