What Is Nazism?

The Core Philosophy

Nazism was a totalitarian political ideology and practice associated with the Nazi Party in Germany, combining extreme nationalism, racism (particularly antisemitism), and anti-communism. It advocated for a racially pure national community, a dictatorial leader, state control of the economy, and aggressive expansionism.

Political ideologies are rarely static. They exist on a spectrum of economic freedom and social liberty. Understanding where Nazism falls on this spectrum is critical to analysing modern geopolitical shifts and understanding systemic structures.
