You sure about that?
Let’s ask AI:
Hitler vehemently opposed communism, viewing it as a dangerous, "Jewish-Bolshevik" conspiracy designed to destroy nations through class warfare
. He sought to eradicate it from Germany, viewing himself as a savior protecting the nation from this ideology. Hitler viewed communism as a rival form of social organization.
Key aspects of Hitler's views on communism include:
- Ideological Opposition: Hitler believed that communism (or Marxism) was a threat to the racial purity and unity of the German people, fundamentally contradicting his "racial" socialism.
- "Jewish-Bolshevism": Hitler frequently linked communism with Jewish people, using the term "Jewish-Bolshevism" to portray it as an existential,, external, and internal, threat to Germany.
- Action Against Communists: Upon seizing power, Hitler's regime immediately targeted communists, socialists, and trade unionists, imprisoning them in early concentration camps like Dachau.
- Rivalry with Soviet Union: Despite ideological disdain, Hitler occasionally acknowledged Stalin's purge of Jewish communists.
While Hitler used socialist terminology in the party name (National Socialist German Workers' Party) to attract workers, he fundamentally rejected the internationalist, class-based, and egalitarian principles of Marxism.
Doesn’t sound like he was such a great admirer of communism.
