Nazism refers to the ideology and the practices of the National Socialist German Workers Party. Nazism was officially called “National Socialism.” Nazism was a form of fascism and was mainly right wing. The Nazis were the first to use the term National Socialism to describe themselves. They were against economic liberalism, political liberalism, communism, and parliamentary. Nazism was sparked by the anger of the Treaty of Versailles which was thought to be a Jewish/communist attempt to humiliate Germany after World War 1. The ideology of the Nazi party was manipulative, destructive, and worked to satisfy the wishes of Hitler, and was able to prevail through total control over the German populace.Upon coming into power in 1933 Hitler set up a Nazi fascism government in which Hitler was the Chancellor. Hitler established a totalitarian regime where the party controlled the mass media, the economy, regulation and restriction of free discussion and criticism. Also the regime would have the use of mass surveillance and widespread use of terror tactics. Nazi Germany or the 3rd Reich was built upon "working towards the Fuehrer," or working for the Chancellor in satisfying the //Lebensraum// or ‘living space’ which was a policy that aimed to regain land that was lost due to World War 1 and a continuation of expansionist policies that were established before the Great War. Nazi party ideology stressed the incompetency of the democratic government, the failure of capitalism, and the need for “racial purity of the German people.” The Nazi party policy of Lebensunwertes Leben worked to “exterminate” minorities in the German populace because they believed that they had no right to live. They considered Jews, Slavs, Roma, German homosexuals, the mentally disabled, communists, and others unworthy of living and needed to be exterminated. Another aspect of the Nazi ideology that rooted from Hitler’s assertion that Jews were responsible for everything he did not like, including modern art, pornography, and prostitution. Hitler also suspected the Jews were in a joint conspiracy to “take over the world.” His dislike of Jews eventually revealed itself when he took power in 1933 and expressed his express anti-Semitic ideas which were prejudice or hostility towards the Jews. This eventually led to the holocaust, a shocking genocide of 6 million Jews, Roma, homosexuals, politcal and religious oponents, and the disabled. consider splitting this section using subtitles to separate the main sections of nazi ideology: Totalitarianism, Lebensraum, racial purity, anti TOV You (or others) can put detail under the subtitles. user:jennpratt

Is there a change in Nazi ideology over time? For example, after the Nazi's take power in 1933, does the ideological stance change? What does H himself say about Nazi-ism? Any primary sources? user:jennpratt
