Actually, Hitler rallied his base around standing up to German communists and getting rid of the leftist cultural subversion in media and academia.

Not that you have to endorse the guy or what he did, but let's not ignore what his actual ideological inclinations were. He was a staunch nationalist and traditionalist.

And yeah, everyone is taught he was anti-Jews. Not true. He was anti-communist. It just so happened that Jews were egregiously overrepresented among German communists, much like among Russian Bolsheviks. When he pressed on the Jews to give up the communists in their midst, they refused. That forced his hand then. Most everything anyone knows about all this now is propaganda. Bolsheviks genocided white Christians in Russia by the millions. But somehow that's not part of our history curriculum in school. How peculiar.

Hitler said in his own words that if National Socialism doesn't work out he could live with the communists in control as long as the capitalists are taken out.

He was a Socialist and he just wanted his perfect form of socialism just like every other socialist.

He redefined it so much, you cannot even call it socialism really, because it wasn't. Everybody gets confused over this.

He basically picked certain industries and put the nation's resources behind it guaranteeing it is successful at the expense of competition. Almost what we have now...

Hitler was a devout anti Marxist nationalist. When he came back from the war the German monarchy was ousted by the Weimar Republic through the communist German revolution. The architects of the communist German revolution was 75% + Jewish communists which started his dislike of Jews. Whether or not he was a free market capitalist who loved democracy is another thing but he was absolutely against communism

Not that this fact excuses the persecution of the Jews that took place during the '30s and '40s, but telling the history while ommitting key details like this is a vicious blood libel against the German people.

And historical details like this are always excluded from the narrative fed to the masses.

As was the fact that the incipient USSR invaded Poland in the early '20s with a goal of flooding Germany with money and weapons to help the communist revolution succeed.

As was the fact that the largest ethnic cleansing in human history was carried out by the 'good guys' in the post-war years against people of Germanic descent throughout Europe, not just in areas that Hitler had captured.

etc. etc.

Nov 1941 Speech by Hitler - "I have learned a great deal from Marxism as I do not hesitate to admit. The difference between [Marxists] and myself is that I have really put into practice what these peddlers and pen-pushers have timidly begun. The whole of National Socialism is based on it. Look at the workers' sports clubs, the industrial cells, the mass demonstrations, the propaganda leaflets written specially for the comprehension of the masses: all these new methods of political struggle are essentially Marxist in origin. All I had to do is take over these methods and adapt them to our purpose."

yep, hitler got his ideas from marx

Marx hated jews more than Hitler did. When Marx refers to capitalists, he actually means jews
