Before he was ousted from the Party, Hermann Rauschning, National Socialist President of the Danzig Senate in 1933–1934, recalled being told by Hitler that:

:''"Each activity and each need of the individual will thereby be regulated by the party as the representative of the general good. There will be no license, no free space, in which the individual belongs to himself. This is Socialism—not such trifles as the private possession of the means of production. Of what importance is that if I range men firmly within a discipline they cannot escape? Let them then own land or factories as much as they please. The decisive factor is that the State, through the party, is supreme over them, regardless whether they are owners or workers. All that, you see, is unessential. Our Socialism goes far deeper . . . ."''

:''"[T]he people about us are unaware of what is really happening to them. They gaze fascinated at one or two familiar superficialities, such as possessions and income and rank and other outworn conceptions. As long as these are kept intact, they are quite satisfied. But in the meantime they have entered a new relation; a powerful social force has caught them up. They themselves are changed. What are ownership and income to that? Why need we trouble to socialize banks and factories? We socialize human beings."'' (Peikoff, p. 231)

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 autocratic and concentrated in the person of the Fuhrer, i.e. Hitler. Loyalty to Germany, to the German State, and to Hitler in particular, was equated with the worship of God (meaning the Nordic god Woden/Votan/Oden). National Socialism in [[Germany]] 1925-1945 combined [[Norse mythology]], [[Darwinism]] and the [[Mysticism|mystical]], [[occult]]ic [[New age movement|New Age]] doctrines of [[Theosophical Society|Theosophy]] in a [[Racism|racist]], militant extremist opposition to Judaism and to Christianity "''with its [[Defeatism|defeatist]], effeminate Christ-figure''".<ref name=occult>''The Occult History of the Third Reich'' 4 program DVD documentary from [http://www.eagle-rock.com Eagle Media], copyright 1987/2004 Eagle Rock Entertainment.

The name Nazi is a contraction of the full party name, [[Nazi Party|National Socialist German Workers' Party]] (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei; NSDAP). Nazism, in short, is simply one of several varieties of [[socialism]]. As a political party it controlled Germany from 1933-1945 under [[Adolf Hitler]], resulting in [[World War II]] and a campaign of mostly anti-[[Jewish]] and [[racist]] [[politics]], resulting in [[genocide]] (see the [[Holocaust]]).

In a 1923 interview with George Sylvester Viereck, Hitler said, "Socialism is the science of dealing with the common weal. Communism is not Socialism. Marxism is not Socialism. The Marxians have stolen the term and confused its meaning....Socialism, unlike Marxism, does not repudiate private property. Unlike Marxism, it involves no negation of personality, and unlike Marxism, it is patriotic....Our socialism is national....We demand the fulfilment of the just claims of the productive classes by the state on the basis of race solidarity. To us state and race are one."<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/theguardian/2007/sep/17/greatinterviews1</ref>

The national socialist mission of unifying race, party, nation and state have taken on singular import for the CCP, while its [[Marxism-Leninism|Leninist]] role of securing a path to communism has been subordinated. [[Nationalism]] is no longer a necessary step on the road to communism, but the driving force behind Chinese socialism.

Under [[Xi Jinping]], the CCP has proven all too willing to incorporate aspects of Hitlerian national socialism into its mode of governance. Carl Schmitt, known as the ‘crown jurist of national socialism’, was cited by legal advisers to China’s leadership to rationalize the CCP’s imposition of a new national security law on [[Hong Kong]] in 2020.<ref>https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2020/12/nazi-china-communists-carl-schmitt/617237/</ref> Schmitt’s central argument was that the sovereign, as someone who decides on exceptions to rules, has a necessary power to suspend civil liberties. That the CCP is now incorporating Schmitt’s fascist jurisprudence into its legal regime indicates that China’s ruling elite has been influenced not only by the ideological elements of national socialism but also by Nazism’s governmental aspects.<ref>https://www.aspistrategist.org.au/xi-jinpings-conception-of-socialism/</ref>

According to the official state-run media organ Xinhua, "The essence of patriotism is having unified love for the country, the Party and socialism, Xi added, urging young Chinese to follow the instructions and guidance of the Party, and remain dedicated to the country and the people."<ref>http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2019-04/30/c_138024983.htm</ref>  John Xenakis writing in ''[[Breitbart]]'' observed:
