National Socialism is revolutionary in nature and without end.  National identity and nationalist ideology have been blended with a social radicalism in which liberalism, democracy, human rights, rationalism, and the rule of law were subordinated to the will of the state, the "state" being the person of the Fuhrer, i.e. Hitler.  Once in power, the Nazis held on to it by threat, intimidation, violence, and the manipulation of the masses.  It assumed that the strong had the right to rule the weak, and prepared Germans to accept an ethic of "ferocity" and "hardness".

National Socialism as a political force in Germany ended with that country’s defeat in 1945.  Despite a “de-nazification” program by the victorious Allies, adherents to Nazism attempted to create new political groups as early as 1948 in West Germany, but were ineffective at reviving the movement; many were later banned, as with the symbolism that was part of it, such as the swastika.

Today, the only political party considered to have many elements of Nazism is the Baath Party of Syria and Iraq under Saddam Hussein. The [[National Democratic Party of Germany]] (NPD) has also many times been accused of neo-Nazism and has survived repeated attempts at banning; party president Ugo Vogt has made repeated anti-semitic/anti-immigrant statements, including attacks against America.  Small neo-Nazi hate groups operate in several European countries and the United States.

In the media, including the Internet, neo-Nazism has also appeared. Radio programs hosted by such as David Duke and repeated appearances of noted Holocaust deniers such as David Irving are an example. Major hate sites like Stormfront and Metapedia contribute for Nazi/White Supremacist views.
