Hitler was a Leftist Progressive “workers party” man.
"We are socialists, we are enemies of today's capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are all determined to destroy this system under all conditions." --Adolf Hitler
(Speech of May 1, 1927. Quoted by Toland, 1976, p. 306)
The 25 points of the NSDAP Program were composed by Adolf Hitler and Anton Drexler. This is basically the National Socialist German Workers Party Platform.
It included measures that in effect would redistribute income and war profits, profit-sharing with large industries, nationalization of trusts, extensive development of old-age pension (just like FDRs Social Security Program), and free education. Clearly this demonstrates Hitler was indeed a left winger.
They were publically presented on 24 February 1920 "to a crowd of almost two thousand and every single point was accepted amid jubilant approval." (Mein Kampf, Volume II, Chapter I) Hitler explained their purpose in the fifth chapter of the second volume of Mein Kampf:
[T]he program of the new movement was summed up in a few guiding principles, twenty-five in all. They were devised to give, primarily to the man of the people, a rough picture of the movement's aims. They are in a sense a political creed, which on the one hand recruits for the movement and on the other is suited to unite and weld together by a commonly recognized obligation those who have been recruited.
Hitler was intent on having a community of mutual interest that desired mutual success instead of one that was divided over the control of money or differing values.
THE COMMON INTEREST BEFORE SELF-INTEREST -
THAT IS THE SPIRIT OF THE PROGRAM. BREAKING OF THE THRALDOM OF INTEREST - THAT IS THE KERNEL OF NATIONAL SOCIALISM.
The first 10 items on the National Socialist German Workers Party dealt with citizenship. The next 15 dealt with socialization of the private sector. Following are a few that closely align with the Progressive ideology that is, thankfully, is being widely and aggressively rejected by the American people:
"We demand therefore:
11. The abolition of incomes unearned by work.
The breaking of the slavery of interest
12. In view of the enormous sacrifices of life and property demanded of a nation by any war, personal enrichment from war must be regarded as a crime against the nation. We demand therefore the ruthless confiscation of all war profits.
13. We demand the nationalization of all businesses which have been formed into corporations (trusts).
14. We demand profit-sharing in large industrial enterprises.
15. We demand the extensive development of insurance for old age." (Social Security under "Progressive" FDR- Obamacare under Obama)
American "Progressives" are fond of throwing the Hitler references around - the race card having been completely played to exhaustion and irrelevance - but when you look at Hitler's beliefs and his social philosophy, he could have almost been FDR's "Progressive" brother. When you look at Hitler's religious views and his hatred of Christians and Jews, you will see that from top-to-bottom what the Progressive Movement has evolved into here in America with the rise of anti-Semitism on the left coupled with the persecution of Christianity --it's almost chilling. The similarities you see between the radicalization of the Democratic Party (who, by the way are openly calling themselves Democratic Socialists and the Worker's Party) and the Nazism of Adolf Hitler draw a rather startling parallel ascendancy.
