The author highlights key \u200bcomponents of Nazism, such as \u200dits socialist roots and racial ideology, noting that Hitler \u2063was influenced by socialist movements in \u2064post-World \u200dWar I Germany and \u2063incorporated these into the National Socialist German Workers&#8217; \u2062Party. <\/p>\n<p>The article asserts that various characteristics of Nazism, such as\u2063 goverment control over industries, censorship of free speech, persecution\u2062 of Christianity, and\u2062 a disdain\u200c for national \u2062identities, are similar too contemporary leftist agendas. conversely, the author suggests that far-right movements\u200c are more supportive of capitalism, free \u2064speech, and jewish communities, drawing comparisons to modern European politics. It\u2063 argues that accusations made by the left against conservatives often \u200cproject\u200c their own\u200b tendencies and ideologies onto the political right, positioning \u2063leftist approaches as akin to those of \u200cthe Nazis rather than conservatism. <\/p>\n<p>The opinion piece \u2064ends by emphasizing that, \u200dcontrary to leftist media \u2062narratives,\u200c it is indeed the left that embodies \u2064aspects of National Socialism, thus encouraging readers to \u200dreflect on the political\u2063 landscape \u2064and the accuracy of contemporary political labeling.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is common for left-leaning media to malign conservatives by asserting that they are ideologically connected to the truly evil Nazis.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, on Dec. 20, CNN published <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2024\/12\/20\/media\/elon-musk-afd-germany-politics-far-right\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">an article<\/a> titled, &ldquo;Elon Musk endorses far-right German political party, wading deeper into global politics,&rdquo;&nbsp;in which CNN claimed, &ldquo;AfD recently became the first far-right party to win a state election in Germany since the Nazi era.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/holocaust-survivor-slams-harris-last-ditch-ploy-know-hitler-kamala-will-ever-know\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Adolf Hitler<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/bidens-new-anti-semitism-envoy-made-numerous-comparisons-trump-nazis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nazis<\/a> were wicked, but they were creatures of the political left with far more connection to today&rsquo;s leftist worldview and leftist agenda than any European conservative or &ldquo;far-right&rdquo; party.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The two defining elements of Nazism, which are enshrined in the National Socialist German Workers Party (shortened to &ldquo;Nazi&rdquo;), are racial Darwinism and political socialism.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adolf Hitler became politically active after he was assigned by the post-World War I German government to attend a meeting of socialists in Munich and report on any threats they may pose to the Weimar Republic. Hitler became enthralled with socialism and quickly joined and took over leadership of a branch of the Munich socialists known as the German Workers&rsquo; Party.<\/p>\n<p> <script type=\"text\/javascript\"> \t\t\tif ( getCookie( \"ff_subbed\" ) ) { \t\t\t\tdocument.getElementById(\"stnvideo\").remove() \t\t\t} \t\t<\/script> <\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hitler, however, believed in a racial hierarchy in which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/safe-space-jews\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jews<\/a> are the most vile and subhuman racial group. According to Hitler&rsquo;s racial worldview, any violence against Jews was justified and encouraged because superior races can and should subjugate and even <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">eliminate lower racial groups<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not far above Jews, according to Hitler, were the Slavs, including Russia, Poland, and much of Eastern Europe. After enthusiastically joining and gaining leadership of the Munich socialists, Hitler broke with the Soviet-led global socialist hierarchy because he could not tolerate his Munich socialist group being subservient to what he deemed as racially inferior Russians. The socialist core of Hitler&rsquo;s philosophy remained, and he called his new, racially charged Munich socialists the National Socialist German Workers&rsquo; Party.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the Third Reich, Nazi officials referred to each other as &ldquo;Comrade,&rdquo; to deliberately remind each other of their socialist ideology. Government determined the role of industry and the output of individual companies. Government determined which workers would be assigned to which jobs. Government established the terms by which workers performed their jobs. Government stole the freedom of the people and gave political primacy to the state. In such manner, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/biden-admin-takes-card-nazi-germany-asks-americans-report-potentially-radicalized-friends-family\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nazi Germany<\/a> was truly a socialist nation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When Hitler embarked on his aggressive military takeovers and invasions of the Rhineland, Austria, Czechoslovakia, and Poland, the socialist-communist government of Stalinist Russia did not object. Instead, Stalin recognized Hitler as a fellow socialist and ideological ally. As a result, Stalin and Hitler formed a pact of aggression against capitalist Europe and agreed to divide the capitalist spoils between them. Stalin invaded Poland and other Eastern European nations alongside Hitler. The aggressive socialist alliance between Hitler and Stalin only ended when Hitler&rsquo;s racial hatred and personal ambition led him to betray Stalin and seek global domination for himself.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fast-forward to today&rsquo;s political landscape, and the parallels between Nazism and the political left are light years beyond any asserted parallels or connection with conservatism or the &ldquo;far right.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, Nazis were socialists in name and deed. The most defining characteristic of today&rsquo;s (and history&rsquo;s) political left is a socialist worldview and agenda. The defining characteristic of today&rsquo;s &ldquo;far right&rdquo; is opposition to socialism.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Second, Nazis hated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/bbc-lib-staffer-fired-labeling-jews-parasites-white-people-virus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jews<\/a> and perpetrated and condoned all sorts of horrors against the Jewish people. Today&rsquo;s political left almost uniformly condemns <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/boxing-legend-floyd-mayweather-attacked-mob-pro-israel-stance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Israel<\/a> and excuses or outright supports <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/iranian-backed-terrorists-claim-responsibility-israel-attacks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">unprovoked attacks<\/a> and killings of Jews in Israel and even against Jews seeking to peacefully exist in Western democracies. By contrast, it is the &ldquo;far right&rdquo; that are the most ardent defenders of Israel and the Jewish people. For example, today&rsquo;s political left targets Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orb&aacute;n as the embodiment of the &ldquo;far right&rdquo; movement. Yet Orb&aacute;n and Hungary pride themselves on being Israel&rsquo;s closest European ally and the most strident defender of Israel among European nations. The farther to the left the leanings of a European government, the more likely it is to condemn Israel and turn a blind eye to attacks on Jewish people in Israel and throughout Europe.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Third, Nazis immediately absorbed and nationalized key industries and put them at the service of the state. Today&rsquo;s political left has the same agenda. A common tenet of leftist politics is the desire to nationalize energy production, banks, health providers, and other vital elements of society and put them under the control and direction of the state, just like the Nazis did. Today&rsquo;s &ldquo;far right,&rdquo; by contrast, is capitalist and supports a free-market separation of government and the economic sector.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fourth, Nazis detested freedom of speech and immediately put an end to free speech upon taking power. Today&rsquo;s political left does the same thing, arguing that anything other than leftist ideology qualifies as &ldquo;hate speech&rdquo; and thus deserves to be censored. In America and Europe, left-of-center governments have aggressively targeted free speech on social media. The Biden administration boasted of being in constant communication with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/facebook-bans-gop-account-allows-inflammatory-dnc-ads\/\" title=\"Facebook bans GOP account, allows inflammatory DNC ads\">social media giants<\/a> and instructing them on what speech to allow and what speech to censor. In Europe, the European Union&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/reason.com\/2024\/06\/05\/report-e-u-censorship-laws-mostly-suppress-legal-speech\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/reason.com\/2024\/06\/05\/report-e-u-censorship-laws-mostly-suppress-legal-speech\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1736535985602000&amp;usg=AOvVaw0FBS8Z1_ivV0IMTVDOuXq6\">punishes social media entities<\/a>&nbsp;that do not censor speech. Leftist political leaders have even shut down political rallies of prominent conservative political leaders such as Nigel Farage and Viktor Orb&aacute;n. Today&rsquo;s &ldquo;far right,&rdquo; however, are enthusiastic supporters and guarantors of free speech, unlike the Nazis and today&rsquo;s political left.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fifth, Nazis viewed Christianity as an obstacle to National Socialism and aggressively persecuted the Christian church. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/situation-dire-urgent-help-requested-christians-syria-nation-descends-chaos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Christians<\/a> were harassed, churches were closed, and Christian leaders were put to death. To fill the spiritual void, Nazis promoted pagan mythology as more tolerant of, and allied with, the Nazi worldview. Today&rsquo;s political left similarly despises and persecutes Christianity, while attempting to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/fee.org\/articles\/the-gotthard-tunnel-ceremony-reveals-the-aesthetic-of-statism\/?gad_source=1&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQiAsaS7BhDPARIsAAX5cSDcIB6WIF0fV_Mi_DeYHRhq2nKMKHe76geKTi7C39PCGWmQPT24DgoaAkL-EALw_wcB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/fee.org\/articles\/the-gotthard-tunnel-ceremony-reveals-the-aesthetic-of-statism\/?gad_source%3D1%26gclid%3DCj0KCQiAsaS7BhDPARIsAAX5cSDcIB6WIF0fV_Mi_DeYHRhq2nKMKHe76geKTi7C39PCGWmQPT24DgoaAkL-EALw_wcB&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1736535985602000&amp;usg=AOvVaw3yTQT1PmL7_oYYu8jJxzOv\">fill the spiritual void with paganism<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sixth, Nazis envisioned a global governance system with little room for independent nations or distinctive cultural identities. In Hitler&rsquo;s worldview, the distinctive cultures of all conquered nations would be stomped out and replaced by Germans and German-Nazi culture. Nations that willingly submitted to Nazi dominance might be allowed to retain their cultural identities during a short-term period. But ultimately, they must make way for a global German-Nazi culture. Today&rsquo;s political left similarly attempts to stomp out national identities and cultures in a bid to create a globalist structure, globalist governance, and an end to distinctive European national identities. By contrast, today&rsquo;s &ldquo;far right&rdquo; oppose global governance and are staunch defenders of distinctive national cultures, identities, and sovereignty.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In short, CNN and other leftist propagandists accuse conservatives of what they themselves are up to. In a classic&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/us\/basics\/projection#:~:text=Projection%20is%20the%20process%20of,own%20unacceptable%20urges%20to%20another.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/us\/basics\/projection%23:~:text%3DProjection%2520is%2520the%2520process%2520of,own%2520unacceptable%2520urges%2520to%2520another.&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1736535985602000&amp;usg=AOvVaw0e-olZMfibVYo8b-_UsLxN\">case of projection<\/a>, leftist media attempt to arouse fear and suspicion of the grassroots conservative movement by labeling conservatives or the &ldquo;far right&rdquo; as modern-day Nazis or fascists. In truth, it is the political left that much more closely embodies Nazism and is the progeny of the National Socialist movement.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>James Taylor&nbsp;<\/em>(<strong>jtaylor@heartland.org<\/strong>)<em>&nbsp;is president of The Heartland Institute.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><i><b>The views expressed in this opinion article are those of their author and are not necessarily either d or endorsed by the owners of this website.

For instance, on December 20, CNN released an article titled \u201cElon Musk endorses far-right German political party, wading deeper into global politics,\u201d asserting that the AfD was the first far-right party to win a state election in Germany since the Nazi era. While Adolf Hitler and the Nazis were undeniably malevolent, they were products of the political left and had more in common with today\u2019s leftist ideologies than with any European conservative or so-called &#8220;far-right&#8221; group. The core tenets of Nazism\u2014racial Darwinism and political socialism\u2014are evident in their origins within the National Socialist German Workers Party (Nazi). Hitler became politically active after being tasked by post-World War I Germany to monitor socialists in Munich, where he became captivated by socialism and eventually led a faction known as the German Workers\u2019 Party.<\/p>\n<p>Hitler&#8217;s ideology included a belief in racial superiority that justified violence against Jews and other groups he deemed inferior. After rising through socialist ranks, he distanced himself from Soviet-led socialism due to his disdain for what he considered racially inferior Russians. He then rebranded his faction as National Socialists while maintaining its socialist foundations.<\/p>\n<p>In Nazi Germany, officials referred to each other as &#8220;Comrade,&#8221; emphasizing their socialist beliefs. The government controlled industry roles and job assignments while suppressing individual freedoms for state interests\u2014characteristics of a true socialist regime. When Hitler initiated military expansions across Europe, Stalin\u2019s Russia did not oppose him; instead, Stalin recognized him as an ideological ally until Hitler&#8217;s ambitions led him to betray Stalin.<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s political landscape shows stark contrasts between Nazism and conservatism rather than any similarities claimed by critics. First off, Nazis identified themselves as socialists both ideologically and practically; conversely, modern conservatism typically opposes socialism outright. Second, while Nazis perpetrated atrocities against Jews during their regime, contemporary leftist politics often criticize Israel or justify violence against Jewish individuals\u2014a stance contrary to many on the right who staunchly support Israel.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, just like Nazis nationalized key industries for state service upon gaining power, today\u2019s left advocates similar agendas regarding energy production and healthcare systems under government control\u2014while conservatives favor free-market principles instead. Additionally, both regimes have shown hostility towards free speech: Nazis suppressed dissenting voices immediately upon seizing power; similarly today\u2019s left often labels non-leftist views as \u201chate speech\u201d deserving censorship.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, just as Nazis persecuted Christianity viewing it as incompatible with their ideology\u2014promoting pagan beliefs instead\u2014the current political left also exhibits animosity toward Christianity while embracing alternative spiritualities.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly,Nazis sought global governance at the expense of national identities; today&#8217;s political left pursues similar goals aiming for global structures that diminish distinct cultural identities across nations\u2014a position opposed by contemporary right-wing movements advocating for national sovereignty.<\/p>\n<p>In summary,CNN along with other progressive outlets accuse conservatives of behaviors reflective of their own actions\u2014a classic case of projection aimed at instilling fear about grassroots conservative movements by equating them with modern-day fascists or Nazis when it is actually much closer aligned with historical National Socialism itself<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2389304,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/HItler-and-Nazis.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[48355,48354,48352,48351,48353],"class_list":["post-2389303","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-contemporary-politics","tag-ideological-comparison","tag-nazism","tag-political-left","tag-political-parallels"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/HItler-and-Nazis.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2389303","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2389303"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2389303\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2389307,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2389303\/revisions\/2389307"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2389304"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2389303"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2389303"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2389303"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
