With All the Nazi Talk in This Election, Who Were the Nazis?
By Emery Jones October 24, 2020
Some excerpts:-
Biden finally pulled the Nazi card when describing President Trump.
“He’s sort of like [Joseph] Goebbels,” Joe Biden told MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle. “You say the lie long enough, keep repeating it, repeating it, repeating it, it becomes common knowledge.”
To understand the Nazis accurately, you have to read their own quotes and propaganda. The story told by the Nazis themselves depicts a very different party than what modern journalists would like us to believe. The Nazi (National Socialist German Workers Party) or National Socialists as they called themselves, had the following five key characteristics:
1. The Nazis were a self-proclaimed socialist movement that called for the end of capitalism, abolishment of non-labor income (interest and finance), and proposed an all-powerful central authority to regulate the market
2. Racial identity politics was used to identify an oppressor class (Jews), that embodied both the evil nature of capitalism and the anti-German nature of communism
3. Strong nationalistic pride was a core pitch to the people to justify a stronger central authority
4. The party used militant radical socialist activists to harass businesses and political enemies with acts of violence
5. Limitations on free speech and removing access to dissenting views

In Goebbels’s words:
Lenin is the greatest man, second only to Hitler, and that the difference between Communism and the Hitler faith is very slight.[4]

Goebbels was very clear about what the Nazis believed.
The tactics and pitches of the Nazi party should be required reading worldwide so that societies don’t fall for the same playbook.
As election day draws nigh, it is important to put this moment in the context of what we have learned from history.
It is easy to reject a declaration of war or Holocaust, but those things didn’t happen for six and eight years after the Nazis were voted into power by democratic means through a split opposition in 1933, never winning a majority.
