Adolf Hitler Quote 

"It is thus necessary that the individual should finally come to realize
that his own ego is of no importance in comparison with the existence
of the nation, that the position of the individual is conditioned solely
by the interests of the nation as a whole."

by:
Adolf Hitler
(1889-1945) German Nazi Dictator

HERR HITLER ALSO SAID: "Gold in the hands of the people is an enemy of the state."
 -- Dave, St. Louis		 
As expressed by: Dave above in accordance with the federal government's recent unconstitutional, and otherwise unlawful, seizure of the Ron Paul gold coins (&, etc.); and, the quote above, the federal government, and its many states, have their blue print, example, and goose step marching orders.
 -- Mike, Norwalk		 
He was also against gun ownership, the free enterprise system, thought profit was a dirty word, believed Darwin, and liked animals better than people. Good socialist all around. Or I guess you could say he was a liberal.

Hitler was fascist. Fascism is, put briefly, a system of social organization in which the political state is a dictatorship supported by a political elite and in which the economic society is an autarchic capitalism, enclosed and planned, in which the government assumes responsibility for creating adequate purchasing power through the instrumentality of national debt and in which militarism is adopted as a great economic project for creating work as well as a great romantic project in the service of the imperialist state. Broken down, it includes these devices: 1. A government whose powers are unrestrained. 2. A leader who is a dictator, absolute in power but responsible to the party which is a preferred elite. 3. An economic system in which production and distribution are carried on by private owners but in accordance with plans made by the state directly or under its immediate supervision. 4. These plans involve control of all the instruments of production and distribution through great government bureaus which have the power to make regulations or directives with the force of law. 5. They involve also the comprehensive integration of government and private finances, under which investment is directed and regimented by the government, so that while ownership is private and production is carried on by private owners there is a type of socialization of investment, of the financial aspects of production. By this means the state, which by law and by regulation can exercise a powerful control over industry, can enormously expand and complete that control by assuming the role of banker and partner. 6. They involve also the device of creating streams of purchasing power by federal government borrowing and spending as a permanent institution. 7. As a necessary consequence of all this, militarism becomes an inevitable part of the system since it provides the easiest means of draining great numbers annually from the labor market and of creating a tremendous industry for the production of arms for defense, which industry is supported wholly by government borrowing and spending. 8. Imperialism becomes an essential element of such a system where that is possible — particularly in the strong states, since the whole fascist system, despite its promises of abundance, necessitates great financial and personal sacrifices, which people cannot be induced to make in the interest of the ordinary objectives of civil life and which they will submit to only when they are presented with some national crusade or adventure on the heroic model touching deeply the springs of chauvinistic pride, interest, and feeling. Where these elements are found, there is fascism, by whatever name the system is called. Look familiar?

Well said, J Carlton.

All good indication that we must impeach (the Dick first, then the Bush).
 -- Anonymous, Reston, VA US		 
Bush's inspiration. How well he has kept his ego hidden by playing dumb.
 -- Mary, Largo		 
Apparently there's enough Fascism to go around........"We must stop thinking of the individual and start thinking about what is best for society."---Hillary Clinton. The problem is that nearly every politician these days has turned into either a national socialist or an international socialist. So, what will you have: Coke or Pepsi?
 -- Ken, Allyn, WA		 
Does the quote say anything but ..ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country? Somehow, it sounds better when someone other than Hitler says it
 -- Jack, Green, OH		 
Socialists say the same thing any number of ways, but it's still lipstick on a pig, and government is the pig.
 -- Ken, Allyn, WA		 
J Carlton, Calgary VERY GOOD. I'm surprised any time I see anyone understanding fascism that well. Unfortunately you fell off the road after no 5. Fascism grants absolute power. Absolute power corrupts and eventually the person that has it will seek more of it. That is where the expansion of the state comes in. You do not seem to get the fact that it is a form of totalitarian socialism. Using good old Adolph as an example He was socialist through and through. He hated corporate profit and saw it as unfair to the working class which he felt a member of. The only difference between fascism and socialism is the fact that in fascism the ownership of the means of production still technically belongs to the private sector. That seems to be a small point when the state tells the business what it will sell, how much to sell it for, who it can hire, who it can not hire, how much it is to pay its employees, and how much profit it is allowed. Dang Hillary has said she wants to do all of those things and I thought I was talking about Hitler. Great Hitler quote. My favorite one is as I remember it - profit from capital is immoral and should not be allowed. Yes J it does sound familiar. ■ the Soviet Union. There is a big difference, Jack, between someone asking what he can do for his country and his country telling him what he will do or else!

And that is what Germany is still doing with its stance against homeschoolers and the fear of "parallel societies." But not only them, but the entire European Union for their court in Strassbourg upheld Germany's stance in a ruling I wrote a lot more about this here: http://principleddiscovery.com/?p=275 but Article 2 of Protocol No. 1 states "No person shall be denied the right to education. In the exercise of any functions which it assumes in relation to education and to teaching, the State shall respect the right of parents to ensure such education and teaching in conformity with their own religious and philosophical convictions." The court essentially ruled that this means that the state oversees education and they must only respect a parent's convictions if they do not conflict with the goals of the state. Now Germany has decided that homeschooling is child endangerment.

This sounds like O. Hussein Obama. Scary that people are falling for him like they fell for Hitler.

Hitler was not a fascist. Hitler was a socialist. The words "Fascist" and "Dictator", are not one in the same. Fascism is an extreme form of Corperatism. Corperations didn't rule Hitler, He ruled them. I love how people think that "National Socialism" is a political ideology. National Socialism was a name for Germany's Socialist party. It would be like saying I'm a national republican or democrat. Learn your history and stop bullshitting your way through it. Your high school education is a joke. Just stop. Your only embarassing yourself.
