National Socialism takes over not because the masses desire it, but rather when the masses of ordinary people look the other way.

The Nazis were not a radical right-wing party as many cite. It was an extreme left-wing socialist party with a Marxist/Leninist philosophy.

The Communists and the Nazis were allies early in World War 2.

For instance, what the Communists called "capitalist" the Nazis called a "plutocrat." What the Communists called a "classless society," the Nazis called a "community of the people."

A week before Hitler invaded the Soviet Union in World War 2, he told his top generals the Germans would bring real socialism to the Soviet people.
