'''National Socialism''' (from German ''Nationalsozialismus'') is a 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> While National Socialist parties have been banned throughout [[Europe]], [[Russia]], and most all former [[Soviet]] Republics since 1945, it has not been banned in [[Ukraine]]. The post-1991 Nazi party in "democratic" [[Ukraine]] was founded under the name Social National Party and later changed its name to "Freedom" ([[Svoboda]]). Several other Nazi parties and paramilitary groups have existed in "free and democratic" Ukraine since 1991 without government sanctions. 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?
