Is Fascism Capitalism In Decay?
By Keith Woods
——————————————————
Quite arguably the most widespread, and egregious, lie about fascism, this myth has its origins in leftist and communist circles in the 1920s and 1930s trying to scramble together a somewhat coherent, albeit incorrect, analysis of fascism in order to paint it as a backwards, reactionary, and evil movement that was opposed to socialism and progress. In this video, Keith Woods goes into great detail analysing this claim and ultimately proving it wrong, instead revealing that fascism originally started out as a left-wing socialist movement that was founded by former Marxists, revolutionaries, and syndicalists.

Reclaiming Socialism From The Left
By Keith Woods
——————————————————
Socialism is often portrayed by right-wingers as an evil liberal scheme to make everyone homosexual and turn the country into an Orwellian police state. In this video, Keith Woods makes the argument that socialism is inherently nationalistic, traditionalist, and idealist, as opposed to the internationalist and materialist ideas of communism and capitalism.

The Theory of Mind as Pure Act
By Giovanni Gentile
——————————————————
In this book, widely regarded as his magnum opus, Gentile outlines his idealist philosophy called Actual Idealism, inspired by the philosophies of Hegel and Berkeley. It is for this reason, however, that we recommend you have a good grasp of the Hegelian philosophy as well as Berkeley’s Subjective Idealism before reading this book, otherwise you probably won’t understand anything.

Corporatism: An Introduction to Fascist Economics
By Zoltanous and Lain OS
——————————————————
In this thorough and well-researched article, Zoltanous and Lain OS explain the basics of corporatism, the economic system of fascism. In a nutshell, corporatism is where all the workers of a certain profession unite into a single, government-approved trade union, as do their employers into a single, government-approved employer union. The state then mediates discussion between the two organs to ensure that both parties are satisfied.

National Socialism (1922)
by Rudolf Jung
“In the summer of 1919 a new book began publication in the city of Troppau (today Opava), Czechoslovakia, written by Sudeten-German political activist Rudolf Jung. Originally titled Der nationale Sozialismus: Eine Erläuterung seiner Grundlagen und Ziele* (National Socialism: An Introduction to its Foundations and its Goals), Jung’s book was the first serious attempt at outlining and explaining völkisch National Socialism as an ideology, as a body of theory constituting a general, all-encompassing worldview. Pamphlets and articles in the past had sought to address this topic, but never before had it been the subject of an entire book. The scope of Jung’s work made it something new.”

Hitler’s Revolution
By Richard Tedor
——————————————————
Drawing on over 200 German sources, historian Richard Tedor presents a revisionist interpretation of the Nazi regime during the pre-war era, arguing that Hitler’s economic and social policies were major successes and also explain his enormous popularity among the German people. Tedor also discusses Hitler’s diplomatic decisions and argues that he made the correct choices considering the difficult situation that his country was in.

Hitler’s War and The War Path
By David Irving
——————————————————
This PDF contains two books by the great David Irving, Hitler’s War and its prequel The War Path. The War Path is much like Hitler’s Revolution by Richard Tedor in that it’s a revisionist interpretation of Nazi Germany in the pre-war era and I would recommend reading it as well. Hitler’s War, however, is a revisionist interpretation of the Second World War and contains invaluable insights into what the war would’ve looked like from the “loser’s” perspective, as opposed to the mainstream narrative that is a gross alteration and distortion of the events by the winners of the war. A must-read for those who are interested in WW2 and Nazi Germany.

Understanding National Socialism
National Socialism was a “Weltanschauung” or world view which sought to combine and preserve the collective solidarity of the German people as a unified nation, “Das Volk”, which is intimately bound to its own soil.
Hence ‘National’ and ‘Socialist’, as we shall see, was never to be confused with the Marxist doctrine, but rather, referred to the older, and arguably original, ancient German conception of socialism which Hitler claimed the Marxists had perverted.
Furthermore, National Socialism was Christian in nature and to its core, based upon principles of ‘Positive Christianity’ with a focus on the family and upon community morals, values, ethics, and standards, through true essentially ‘brotherly love in action and deeds’, not just philosophy, and also not in the spirit of Liberal ‘egalitarianism’ and ‘internationalism’ or communist universalism.

Many accuse the National Socialist government of working hand in hand with American corporations to sustain the German war effort.
According to research conducted by Dr Bradsher (And later professor Turner) all US-corporate assets in Germany were seized and nationalized in war time, while its home communication was disconnected.
The industry sustaining the German war effort were German corporations. The American Opel-Standard Oil conglomerate played no role.

CHAPTER 2: The Position of National Socialism towards Christianity
But is National Socialism at all receptive to Christianity? Is it not "pagan"? Would it not prefer to return to the cult of Wodan, if it could do so without historical and philosophical shame? Let's first examine how National Socialism, of its own accord, relates to Christianity.
That Hitler takes his Catholic Christianity seriously is known from his book "Mein Kampf" and from many other statements. It is no less known that the Catholic Church is distrustful, perhaps not so much of him as of the movement associated with his name, and that it even tries to prove heresy. Let us leave aside the personal confessions of the leaders and stick to the program. We know well that the "program" is not essential to the movement; the movement is much more than the rather random "25 points" indicate. Just as in the peasant uprising of the late Middle Ages the "twelve articles" of the peasantry, gathered together from current demands, were not the decisive thing in the movement. But one can at least recognize the direction of the movement from the program.
Point 24 states: "We demand freedom of all religious confessions in the state, as far as they do not endanger its existence or offend against the moral feeling of the Germanic race. The party as such represents the standpoint of a positive Christianity, without binding itself denominationally to a certain confession. It fights the Jewish-materialistic spirit in and outside of us and is convinced that a lasting recovery of our people can only take place from within on the basis: common good before self-interest". Gottfried Feder, in his widely circulated and authoritative little commentary, "Das Programm der N.S.D.A.P. und seine weltanschaulichen Grundgedanken" (201. - 250. Thous. 1931), opposes the "many foolish and clumsy attacks on Christianity" (page 61) and repeats: "The party as such stands on the ground of positive Christianity." He adds (page 62), "All questions, hopes and desires as to whether the German people will one day find a new form for their knowledge and experience of God, do not belong here," these being matters beyond the scope of a party program. In the first part of the paper (page 17) we read, "It cannot be too strongly emphasized that nothing is further from the N.S.D.A.P.'s mind than to attack the Christian religion and its worthy ministers."
This says two things: first, that National Socialism as a party does not embrace the aspirations of an exclusive "German religion" of any kind; second, that it feels itself to belong to "positive Christianity." The word "positive" here is obviously meant to signify the two expressions of Christianity in the Protestant and Catholic churches (i.e., rejection of an unchurched reason-based Christianity) and is probably also meant to reject the historicization and psychologization of Christianity as well as any philosophical surrogate.
We note that "the freedom of all religious confessions" - not only "of all Christian confessions" - "in the state" is a liberal demand. Thus, a Christianity of the state as such is rejected; the state will tolerate any religious confession. But this liberal kind of tolerance experiences two limitations. First, the "Germanic sense of morality" is not to be violated. This goes above all to pacifism. No tolerance is granted to Christian pacifism. Secondly, the "Jewish materialistic spirit" is to be fought. This goes to Marxism. Undoubtedly, with these words, tolerance is also denounced to any Christian socialism that incorporates the teachings of Karl Marx. So the tolerance is granted only to a non-pacifist and non-Marxist religion. Feder's sentence against "people who receive their political orders from abroad," a sentence directed against ultramontanism, has been deleted in recent issues, probably as a result of attacks from the Catholic side. We are thus dealing with a limited state liberalism.

That there is a strong desire within the party for a "German people's church" is evident from some writings. (For example: Alfred Rosenberg, The Myth of the 20th Century. Page 575: "The longing to give the Nordic racial soul its form as a German church under the sign of the folk myth, that is among the greatest tasks of our century.") But whoever would presuppose such desires as common property of the movement would be mistaken. Officially and programmatically, National Socialism did not lean toward such aspirations. A receptivity for Christian mission may therefore be assumed with reason in the National Socialist movement, as far as it is not a pacifist and Marxist-turned-Christianity.

"Faith and Action" (1938)
by Helmut Stellrecht
an Official Hitler Youth Manual
The German National Socialists employed Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel's conception of "race" which sought to unify the concept of "ethnos" with an organic state. This concept of "race" was thus built not on materialism but rather on Hegel's concept of absolute idealism which holds consciousness as the basis of human reality.
Accordingly, race is defined as "the ability to think in a certain way". This is done because it is only those who can symbiotically harmonize with the National Socialist State that can actualize the "race" as defined by Hegel. Race for the National Socialists was thus far more a matter of psychology than it was biology.
These revelations help to better explain the following realities:
Growing up "Black" in Germany
The concept of the "Folk-Community"
NS views on the Nominalism, Materialism, Liberalism and overall "inhumanity" of the empirical Humanists across the waters
