Tik on NS as racist Communism.

Hitler was not an anti-communist. He was a crypto-communist.

Fascism is Marxism with an Italian national twist.

National Socialism is Marxism with a Germanic racial and national twist.

The goal of both is to abolish market economics and implement socialist state controls on all human and economic activity. Classes to be slowly phased out and a levelized "national community" with no economic stratification. Disobedience met with death or imprisonment.

Hitler called Christianity "meek and flabby". The Nazis seized hundreds of monasteries in Germany and Austria. Starting in 1935 2,720 clerics were arrested and sent to Dachau where many died.

Hitler was anti-communist in the same way Ted Haggard was homophobic.

When Hitler says that he identifies himself as Greek, he is referring to the ancient Greeks, not his contemporary Greeks. According to Hitler, the ancient Greeks were Nordics who migrated from the north to the south and built the Mediterranean civilization. Yes, Hitler, was "we wuz"ing here.

> "By the Greeks Hitler meant the Dorians. Naturally his view was affected by the theory, fostered by the scientists of his period, that THE DORIAN TRIBE WHICH MIGRATED INTO GREECE FROM THE NORTH HAD BEEN OF GERMANIC ORIGIN and that, therefore, ITS CULTURE HAD NOT BELONGED TO THE MEDITERRANEAN WORLD."

> “They [Pre-Christian Germanic tribes] weren't on a higher cultural level up there than the Maori! Nevertheless, the Greek profile, and that of the Caesars, is that of the men of this North of ours, and I'd wager that I could find amongst our peasants two thousand heads of that type."

Hitler was a kook who believed all great civilizations stemmed from a "Germanic element" in them, like he said about Slavs in Mein Kampf. This is the Germanic version of "We Wuz Kangz".

> "In his December 11, 1941, speech, in which Hitler declared war on the United States, he posed as the defender of European civilization against external foes. He rehearsed earlier struggles of the Greeks, Romans, and Germanic peoples against their enemies. He explained, “There was a time when Europe was that Greek island into which Nordic tribes penetrated in order to light the flame for the first time that has since slowly but steadily begun to enlighten the world of man.” Thus he clearly ascribed Germanic origins to Greek culture. After the Greeks the cultural torch was passed to the Romans and later to the Germanic peoples, who were the primary representatives of European civilization."

Hitler always wanted to annex  Czechoslovakia.
He talks about annexing Czechoslovakia in the Hossbach memorandum.
https://ghdi.ghi-dc.org/docpage.cfm?docpage_id=2322
It is important to note the reason that Hitler gave in the Hossbach memorandum is not the discrimination against Germans but: "the annexation of Czechoslovakia and Austria would mean an acquisition of foodstuffs for 5 to 6 million people"

Even 8 months before the Hossbach memorandum Hitler confided to Goebbels about annexation of Czechoslovakia.

> Late one night in mid-March 1937... Hitler told his propaganda minister that he intended to incorporate Austria and Czechoslovakia into the Reich. “We need both to round off our territory,” Goebbels reported Hitler saying. “And we’ll get them…When their citizens come to Germany, they’ll be crushed by the greatness and power of the Reich…Hence the Führer’s gigantic construction plans. He’ll never give them up.”

Source: Volker Ullrich, Hitler Ascent. (Goebbels, Tagebücher, part 1, vol. 4, p. 52 (entry for 15 March 1937)

Also note that neither in the Hossbach memorandum nor in Goebbels Diaries is Hitler talking about Sudetenland, where the German minority was present; instead, Hitler is talking about annexing all of Czechoslovakia.

> "Giovanni Gentile, the main philosopher of Fascism, believed that––not only did fascist doctrine achieve the only feasible form of Socialism––but Fascist Philosophy had become a form of Practical Marxism"

What does this even mean? What I take it to mean is that Gentile's "practical Marxism" is little more than tricking the citizens into relinquishing most economic ownership & control to the State by leaving a thin veneer of private ownership & property within their heavily socialized & regimented State-run economy so as to keep the plebs on the plantation. These bureaucrats understand that most people only work hard with the hope of obtaining private property. Why else do people work? Nobody would take the risk of starting a company if there was no reward at the end of it, that being private property. So the "practical" part here was using rhetoric that slightly distinguished itself from the traditional anti-private property Marxist-Leninists by acting like they wouldn't take all your property & socialize it right away. But since "nothing can be outside the State," as Mussolini famously said, if your business became successful enough to catch the State's attention it would either be socialized or taxed/regulated to such a degree that it becomes little more than a State asset with a pseudo private manager.

"The "atrocity reports" in August 1939 were largely based on pure invention; they were hardly anything more than imaginative construction of the Nazi propaganda machine."
