National Socialism, a subset of
fascism, is a political philosophy that is most notorious for having been the party
ideology of
Adolf Hitler's
Nazis. National socialism combined an appeal to
workers and the
middle classes, radical anti-
capitalism (in its movement stage) together with
political opportunism, anti-
Marxist agitation and violence, and fierce
ethnic nationalism,
anti-Semitism and
racism. Upon achieving state power, the doctrine of National Socialism has proven to be
genocidal,
totalitarian, and
imperialist. National Socialism claims to resolve the contradictions between
capital and
labor, often through a "
third way".
