like there’s critique of capitalism in nazism but it’s self-contradictory and does not mesh with the whole ‘the weak need to fear the strong’ thing, so they skip over it and go “but the problem really is the jews”, hello false consciousness
Honestly, reading one of Hitler’s speeches, it seemed the “weak need to fear the strong” thing was a bit weirder than that.
- Great Ppl make the nation great
- To have more Great Ppl, we need to have more population, and to heck with resource conservation thru limiting population growth
- Instead of saving our land, we’ll invade other places, kill their people, and take theirs
Which, you know, what the fuck. It’s very nation-as-organism in one of the worst ways possible, and so weak fearing the strong is also in those terms.
What gets me is that if you’re going to be an evil eugenicist, you have a lot more options that don’t require endless invasions and expansions.
