According to David Irving, Hitler needed to start a war so he could achieve Lebensraum. He cites a four hour speech to his Commanders in Chief in which Hitler says Danzig was not the ultimate objective of his war, but capturing Lebensraum in the East to feed Germans and expand the German population.

Like all socialists, Hitler wanted to keep as much of his own money as possible while shaming others for not paying "their fair share".
> "Adolf Hitler spent years evading taxes and owed German authorities 405,000 Reichsmarks —equivalent to $8 million today — by the time his tax debts were forgiven soon after he took power, a researcher said on Friday. Klaus-Dieter Dubon, a retired Bavarian notary and tax expert, said he found Hitler’s tax records in a Munich archive. They show the Nazi dictator battled tax collectors for eight years before becoming chancellor in 1933. “Hitler owed tax but didn’t pay it, full stop,” Dubon told Reuters on Friday. “He was constantly challenging tax office rulings on his income tax between 1925 and 1932, just like a common citizen. After taking power he didn’t pay tax anymore.”"
> "Dubon found that Hitler earned 1.232 million Reichsmarks in 1933 from sales of “Mein Kampf” — his book outlining his doctrine of German racial supremacy and ambitions to annex vast areas of the Soviet Union. He should have paid tax on 600,000 Reichsmarks of that income but didn’t, the researcher found. “The 1.232 million Reichsmarks in income in 1933 is a fascinating number,” said Dubon, 71. “It was a huge income when you consider teachers then had annual salaries of 4,800 marks,” he said. “As chancellor, Hitler only earned 44,000 Reichsmarks in 1933 but told the tax office he donated that to a charity for widows, which he didn’t.”"
> "To lower his taxable income, Hitler resorted to many of the perfectly legal tax avoidance strategies that Germans still use extensively today. He tried to write off his new Mercedes in 1925 as a “company car.” In one exchange with tax collectors Hitler described the car as “only a means to an end.”"

Mussolini said of himself:
"It was inevitable that I should become a Socialist ultra, a Blanquist, indeed a communist. I carried about a medallion with Marx’s head on it in my pocket. I think I regarded it as a sort of talisman… [Marx] had a profound critical intelligence and was in some sense even a prophet."

"Franco was not a fascist"...and he complains that he wasn't economically leftist enough.
"Fascism was informed by Marxism"... and only had minor differences on philosophy.
More confirmation that fascists are nothing more than economic leftists.

More evidence of the Marxist influences behind National Socialism.
> "He was proud of a knowledge of Marxist texts acquired in his student days before the First World War and later in a Bavarian prison, in 1924, after the failure of the Munich putsch. The trouble with Weimar Republic politicians, he told Otto Wagener at much the same time, was that "they had never even read Marx", implying that no one who had failed to read so important an author could even begin to understand the modern world"
> "even in the autobiography he observes that his own doctrine was fundamentally distinguished from the Marxist by reason that it recognised the significance of race - implying, perhaps, that it might otherwise easily look like a derivative."
> "Without race, he went on, National Socialism "would really do nothing more than compete with Marxism on its own ground". Marxism was internationalist. The proletariat, as the famous slogan goes, has no fatherland. Hitler had a fatherland, and it was everything to him."
> "Yet privately, and perhaps even publicly, he conceded that National Socialism was based on Marx. On reflection, it makes consistent sense. The basis of a dogma is not the dogma, much as the foundation of a building is not the building, and in numerous ways National Socialism was based on Marxism. It was a theory of history and not, like liberalism or social democracy, a mere agenda of legislative proposals."
> "Hitler's discovery was that socialism could be national as well as international. There could be a national socialism. That is how he reportedly talked to his fellow Nazi Otto Wagener in the early 1930s. The socialism of the future would lie in "the community of the volk", not in internationalism, he claimed, and his task was to "convert the German volk to socialism without simply killing off the old individualists", meaning the entrepreneurial and managerial classes left from the age of liberalism"
> "They should be used, not destroyed. The state could control, after all, without owning, guided by a single party, the economy could be planned and directed without dispossessing the propertied classes."
> "As for communists, he opposed them because they created mere herds, Soviet-style, without individual life, and his own ideal was "the socialism of nations" rather than the international socialism of Marx and Lenin. The one and only problem of the age, he told Wagener, was to liberate labour and replace the rule of capital over labour with the rule of labour over capital."
> "These are highly socialist sentiments, and if Wagener reports his master faithfully they leave no doubt about the conclusion: that Hitler was an unorthodox Marxist who knew his sources and knew just how unorthodox the way in which he handled them was. He was a dissident socialist... "What Marxism, Leninism and Stalinism failed to accomplish," he told Wagener, "we shall be in a position to achieve.""
> "On 16 June 1941, five days before Hitler attacked the Soviet Union, Goebbels exulted, in the privacy of his diary, in the victory over Bolshevism that he believed would quickly follow. There would be no restoration of the tsars, he remarked to himself, after Russia had been conquered. But Jewish Bolshevism would be uprooted in Russia and "real socialism" planted in its place - "Der echte Sozialismus". Goebbels was a liar, to be sure, but no one can explain why he would lie to his diaries. And to the end of his days he believed that socialism was what National Socialism was about."

Fascism is little more than a slight revision of Marxist philosophy while keeping the Marxist economic program.
"Nothing outside the state" (Mussolini's famous phrase) is a call for the abolition of all private property. Private property is "outside the state" and so fascism aims to bring it into the state.
The fascist state (which views itself as God-like and thus omnipotent) tolerates no competition. Private property gives rise to competition in the form of businesses. If businesses grow large, they can pose a challenge to state authority. So fascism is inherently anti-private property and will move to abolish it or otherwise control its use, which is the same thing in the end. If you can't generally do what you want with your own property, minus committing crimes on it, then it's not truly yours.
If the private farmer wants to grow corn, but the fascist state says no you must grow wheat, then you must obey or your farm is seized. When you agree to grow wheat for fear of losing your farm, then the fascist state will tax away most of your profits, leaving you with just enough to live and continue production. This is a clever way of implementing Marx's vision.
Seventy-five percent of the economy is nationalized and the rest is regulated and taxed to such a degree that it's effectively state-run. The business owners and farmers who are left are downgraded to mere managers.

Doesn't sound like a guy on the brink of invading Germany here.
"Stalin refused to believe that Germany would invade in 1941. He dismissed more than a hundred intelligence warnings of the coming invasion as British propaganda, and was caught completely off guard. In the decades that followed the war, the Soviet Union wanted to present itself as a power that stood for peace. It therefore had to deny that it was one of the powers that began the war."

When Stalin was Hitler's ally
As Russia revives the tradition of wars of aggression on European territory, Vladimir Putin has chosen to rehabilitate the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact as good foreign policy. But why violate now what was for so long a Soviet taboo? Timothy Snyder explains.
😁9👍5👌2
"At that stage it was still not possible to determine whether the Russians were actually girding themselves for an attack or whether they were themselves only massing to ward one off... but the German invasion was soon to tear that veil of doubt aside."
German field marshal Wilhelm Keitel wrote this in his memoirs, admitting that the Germans did not know whether the Soviets would attack or not and they chose to attack first. As TIK shows here, Keitel wrote these memoirs in order to exonerate himself at Nuremberg by claiming the attack on USSR was a pre-emptive one, but he actually admits that it wasn't in the same memoirs.
There were no intercepts from Soviet high command confirming any plans for an imminent attack and so any opinions from Hitler that they were was pure self-serving speculation to justify his own long-desired attack. Tik explains that the Germans were very short on oil to fuel their war with Britain and so attacking Russia to get their oil was crucial to defeating Britain as well, another strong motive for the aggression, in addition to the Lebensraum plans.

Fascism and National Socialism emerged from the same milieu as Marxism and Communism. All variations and slight revisions of each other.
> The concept of a “far left” that is opposed to a “far right” is false. The systems placed on the two ends of that spectrum, including socialism, fascism, and Nazism, are all rooted in communism. And all of them share beliefs in core communist concepts, including state collectivism, planned economies, and class struggle.
> After Lenin, the next communist revisionist to take the world stage was Benito Mussolini, who took from World War I the lesson that nationalism was more uniting than the idea of a worker’s revolution. He thus revised Marxism into his new system of fascism, using the collectivist principle of “fasci,” which refers to a bundle of sticks reinforcing the handle of an ax.
> Mussolini explained his concept in his 1928 autobiography, in which he states, “The citizen in the Fascist State is no longer a selfish individual who has the anti-social right of rebelling against any law of the Collectivity.”
> According to “Russia Under the Bolshevik Regime” by Richard Pipes, “No prominent European socialist before World War I resembled Lenin more closely than Benito Mussolini. Like Lenin, he headed the antirevisionist wing of the country’s Socialist Party; like him, he believed that the worker was not by nature a revolutionary and had to be prodded to radical action by an intellectual elite.”
> Then soon after, Adolph Hitler emerged with his re-branded socialist system under the banner of “national socialism.”
> The policies of the Nazi Party followed the communist model, D’Souza notes, and the 25-point program included universal free health care and education, nationalization of large corporations and trusts, government control of banking and credit, the splitting of large landholdings into smaller units, and similar policies.
> In addition, D’Souza states, “Mussolini and Hitler both identified socialism as the core of the fascist and Nazi Weltanschauung [way of life]. Mussolini was the leading figure of Italian revolutionary socialism and never relinquished his allegiance to it. Hitler’s party defined itself as championing ‘national socialism.'”

By Mussolini's logic, you have no right to rebel against any government policy, no matter what it is, because to do so is being "selfish".
So vax mandates, mask mandates, state subsidized gender confusion is all above board if the State is the one imposing it on the citizenry.
What a retard.
