"The nationalists, at heart, were socialists. The socialists, at heart, were nationalists." — LEONARD PEIKOFF @OminousParallel
WHY NAZISM WAS SOCIALISM "The basis of the claim that Nazi Germany was capitalist was the fact that most industries in Nazi Germany APPEARED to be left in private hands." "What Ludwig Von Mises identified was that private ownership of the means of production existed in NAME
LEONARD PEIKOFF ON THE DEMOCRAT PARTY AND AMERICA Leonard Peikoff, who was a close associate of philosopher/novelist Ayn Rand for thirty years, and is the foremost authority on her philosophy of Objectivism, had this to say about the Democrats: "After the Democrats are through with America, America will be through. We will end like ancient Rome. The post-American era will be Dark Ages 2.0." — LEONARD PEIKOFF
"SOCIALISM" for the Nazis denotes the principle of COLLECTIVISM as such and its corollary, STATISM—in every field of human action, including but not limited to economics. "To be a socialist," says Goebbels, "is to submit the I to the thou; socialism is sacrificing the individual to the whole." — Leonard Peikoff, THE OMINOUS PARALLELS @OminousParallel
"The nationalists, at heart, were socialists. The socialists, at heart, were nationalists." — LEONARD PEIKOFF @OminousParallel
"The experimental findings of the Nazi 'laboratories' can be reduced to a single statement: total domination over man requires philosophical disarmament—after which, nothing much, and little human, is left of the victim."
"STATISM and the advocacy of REASON are philosophical opposites. They cannot coexist—neither in a philosophic system nor in a nation." — Leonard Peikoff, The Ominous Parallels
“STATISM” means any system that concentrates power in the state at the expense of individual freedom. Among other variants, the term subsumes theocracy, absolute monarchy, nazism, fascism, communism, democratic socialism, and plain, unadorned dictatorship. —LEONARD PEIKOFF, OPAR
SOCIALISM IS NEVER DEMOCRATIC BUT ALWAYS TOTALITARIAN "SOCIALISM cannot be ruled for very long except by TERROR." "As soon as the terror is relaxed, resentment and hostility logically begin to well up against the rulers. The stage is thus set for a revolution or civil war. In
Almost everyone acknowledges that Nazism was one of the greatest horrors of the 20th century, yet few understand its deepest cause. How did a supposedly civilized country— the “land of poets and philosophers”—degenerate into a murderous, totalitarian dictatorship? /1
THE ROOTS OF NAZISM To this day, Nazism remains vivid in the public mind as the greatest evil in human history, and continues to be the subject or background of countless novels, films, and non-fiction analyses. But the artists and scholars of 2014 still have no real explanation; they are no closer than they were in 1982 to identifying the fundamental roots of Nazism. This book does. Those interested in the roots of Hitler's NATIONAL SOCIALISM should read THE OMINOUS CAUSE OF HITLERS GERMANY by Leonard Peikoff. @CauseHitler

In The Cause of Hitler’s Germany—previously published as part of his 1982 book The Ominous Parallels—Leonard Peikoff, Ayn Rand’s long-time associate, demonstrates how unreason and collectivism led the seemingly civilized German society to become a Nazi regime.

"While today’s philosophy departments make it a loud point to proclaim that philosophy has nothing to do with practical life or with reality…—Dr. Peikoff shows to their mangled victims what philosophy is, what it does, and how to recognize its influence all around us." —AYN RAND

"The genius of the Founding Fathers was their ability not only to grasp the revolutionary ideas of the period, but to devise a means of implementing those ideas in practice."—Leonard Peikoff, The Ominous Parallels

"Philosophy is a human need as real as the need of food. It is a need of the mind, without which man cannot obtain his food or anything else his life requires." — LEONARD PEIKOFF, @OPARAynRand
"It is wrong, Marx writes, to 'postulate an abstract—isolated—human individual.' 'My own existence is a social activity. For this reason, what I myself produce I produce for society, and with the consciousness of acting as a social being.'" — LEONARD PEIKOFF
"Professor L. G. Tirala, a philosophically trained Nazi ideologist, sees beyond the obvious romanticist sources of this attitude. He traces the Nazi activism to the two-world philosophy of Kant (which in turn he ascribes to Kant’s “Aryan” nature).Kant’s view, he writes, is…" 🔗
