'''National Socialism''' (from German ''Nationalsozialismus'') is a extremist far-Left [[totalitarian]] system,<ref>[American Holocaust Memorial Museum https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/the-nazi-party-1]</ref> originally created in [[Germany]] immediately following [[World War I]], and characterized by a [[collectivist]] view toward [[race]]. [[Nazism]] is heavily influenced by the [[Democratic Party]]'s [[Jim Crow]] laws (that existed between 1880s to 1964) and [[Indian Removal Act]] (1830), as well and [[Progressive]] [[eugenics]] pseudoscience. <ref>https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2017/07/31/dinesh-dsouza-hitler-learned-democrats/</ref> National socialist ideology does not seek to abolish [[capitalism]]; rather it seeks to use capitalism and racial or ethnic identity, as in Nazi Germany and contemporary [[China]] and [[Ukraine]], to gather more strength and power to itself.
Ironically, given the false equivalence by various leftists post-World War II between nationalism and national socialism, Joseph Goebbels indicated that Nazism hated the concept of [[nationalism]] due to it being a [[bourgeois]] concept when explaining the NSDAP's political position. Nazism used dictatorial or draconian [[police state]] rule, mass appeal, brutal use of violence, disregard for the law, and a racial policy emphasizing the subjugation or extermination of people considered inferior, based heavily on a belief in social [[Darwinism]], as advocated by people such as Heinrich von Treitschke and the Englishman [[Houston Stewart Chamberlain]].<ref>[http://yesterday.uktv.co.uk/warzone/world-war-two/nazi-germany/article/what-national-socialism/ What is National Socialism?

{{main|Nazi platform of 1925}}
The Nazi Party was anti-marxist, far-right ideology. Hitler included the word socialist in the party’s name due National socialism is related to its atheist roots and to “to convert German workers away from Marxist Socialism.”<ref>[https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/the-nazi-party-1 United States Memorial Holocaust Museum] </ref> Hitler refuted much of Marxist collectivism in a chapter of ''Mein Kampf'' entitled, "The Strong Man Stands Mightiest Alone" rejecting the mentality of the "common herd." For the Nazis [[Jewishsocialism]] capitalists were in which the enemy. National socialism's basic core ideologyis is a control of people, property, and income by a [[totalitarian]] centralized government. The core concepts of socialism were kept, transferred, and implemented in the 25 points of the Nazi Party Platform of 1925,<ref>[http://www.historyplace.com/worldwar2/riseofhitler/25points.htm 25 Pints points of the Nazi Party Platform of 1925]</ref> which included:
*The abolition of unearned income;
Several concepts, however, make National Socialism unique as a political philosophy:
*A regimented, militaristic style of governance which had its origins in the Prussian traditions exemplified by Frederick William I (1688–1740), Frederick the Great (1712–68), and Otto von Bismarck (1815–98);{{fact}} *A belief of the Nordic “Aryan” man as superior in blood, intellect, and culture over all other races of man, given emphasis by the works of Frederich Nietzsche (''Mensch und Übermensch'') and other 19th century intellectuals.{{fact}}
Added to these beliefs was the science of the time, specifically the theories related to “survival of the fittest” and “natural selection” as postulated by British naturalist Charles Darwin; these theories would be used later as justification for Nazi removal and extermination of non-German people throughout much of Europe prior to and during World War II.
