Hitlerism, also known as Adolf Hitler Thought, refers to the ideology and policies associated with Adolf Hitler, the leader of the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP), commonly known as the Nazi Party. This doctrine encompasses a range of beliefs and principles that guided
Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1945, during Hitler's dictatorship. He is known for being the predecessor and leader of the
Nazis. He is sometimes also seen as a branch of
Nazism.
Hitler is an extremely controversial character, he is often portrayed as a man of pure evil. Due to this, he often appears in “dark humor” and many other internet pop culture.
History[edit | edit source]
Early on, Hitler was found of the idea of German nationalism, though he himself is an
Austrian.
Adolf Hitler’s rise to power began with his joining the German Workers' Party (DAP) in 1919. Impressed by the party's
nationalist and
anti-Semitic ideas, Hitler quickly rose within its ranks due to his oratory skills and propaganda talents. By 1921, he had become the leader of the newly renamed
National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP or Nazi Party). His initial attempt to seize power through the 1923 Beer Hall Putsch failed, leading to his imprisonment. During his brief time in prison, he wrote “Mein Kampf,” outlining his ideology and future plans for
Germany.
Upon his release in 1925, Hitler focused on rebuilding the Nazi Party and gaining power through legal political means. The Great Depression of 1929 significantly increased the party's support, as Hitler promised economic and political stability. By 1932, the
Nazis were the largest party in the
Reichstag (parliament), and in 1933, Hitler was appointed Chancellor of
Germany. He quickly consolidated power, passing the Reichstag Fire Decree and the Enabling Act, which gave him dictatorial powers. By 1934, after the death of president
Hindenburg, Hitler had merged the positions of chancellor and president, becoming the supreme leader of
Germany.
Hitler's rule led to the aggressive expansion of the German Third Reich and the onset of World War II in 1939, starting with the invasion of
Poland. His regime implemented the Holocaust, resulting in the mass extermination of six million
Jews and millions of other persecuted groups. As the war turned against
Germany, Hitler retreated to his Führerbunker in
Berlin. Facing imminent defeat, he committed suicide on April 30, 1945. His death marked the end of the
Nazi regime, and
Germany surrendered shortly afterward, leaving a legacy of unprecedented destruction and horror.
Beliefs[edit | edit source]
Racial Purity and Anti-Semitism
[edit | edit source]
Central to Hitlerism is the belief in the superiority of the Aryan race, particularly the
Germanic peoples, and the inferiority of other races. This ideology justified the systemic persecution and extermination of
Jews, whom Hitler and the
Nazis scapegoated for
Germany's problems and considered an existential threat.

[edit | edit source]
Hitler was opposed to Marxism,
Capitalism, and
Democracy, viewing them as threats to the
Nazi vision of a racially pure and
hierarchically organized society. He believed that
Marxism, particularly its focus on class struggle and internationalism, was a tool of
Jewish influence aimed at undermining the
German nation and
Aryan race. Hitler's
anti-Semitic worldview led him to equate
Marxism with a
Jewish conspiracy, which he sought to eradicate through aggressive policies and ultimately, the Holocaust.
Capitalism, in Hitler's eyes, was another manifestation of
Jewish control, seen as promoting individualism, greed, and economic exploitation that destabilized the social order. While the
Nazi regime tolerated and utilized
capitalist structures to some extent, especially to fund its war machine and industrial growth, it did so under strict state control, ensuring that economic power aligned with the goals of the regime rather than the interests of private capital.
Democracy was rejected by
Hitler as weak and decadent, incapable of providing the strong, unified leadership he deemed necessary for
Germany's revival. He saw
democratic governance as inherently corrupt and inefficient, diluting national strength by allowing diverse, and in his view, inferior elements to have a say in the nation's future. In place of
democracy, Hitler promoted a
totalitarian state where power was centralized in the Führer, with absolute authority to guide the nation toward its destiny of
territorial expansion,
racial purity, and
military dominance.
Life in the society[edit | edit source]
If someone said something bad about or is a threat to Hitler or the Nazi Party,
Gestapo (German secret police) and
SS would attack and imprison them.
In schools, Hitler’s portrait is in every classroom’s wall. Mein Kampf is an official history book, and all teachers had to join the Nazi Party to be able to spread
Nazi beliefs and indoctrinate students, as they learned to respect the Führer (
German word for leader).
In women’s society, they were all expected to give up on their jobs and look after their families. If they have 8 children, they would be awarded a medal. They are also supposed to wear traditional peasant clothes and flag shoes, they were not allowed to dye their hairs or smoke.
Economic Control and Autarky
[edit | edit source]
While not strictly an economic theory, Hitlerism included elements of state control over the economy to ensure it served the interests of the nation and the war effort. This involved policies aimed at achieving self-sufficiency ( Autarky) and the mobilization of resources for rearmament and military expansion.
Life of Adolf Hitler[edit | edit source]
Hitler was born on 20 April, 1889. He had 3 older brothers, though they all died before he was born. His father was an alcoholic, and this behavior had a significant impact on the household, contributing to a difficult and often abusive family environment. Hitler’s mother had tried to protect him but she was too scared of his father. Hitler beated his teachers up and got expelled from many schools. Young Hitler was also very interested in German nationalism, despite being in
Austria. When his father died, he had lived a good life with his mother. Sadly she died from breast cancer.
He dreamed of becoming an artist, so he joined in Academy of Art. But his master said that his painting isn’t good enough. He said that it lacked empathy and emotion. He got rejected from art school 2 times, making him deeply upset, as his artistic aspirations were crushed. Disillusioned and bitter, he turned to politics as a means to channel his frustrations and ambitions.
In 1913, Hitler moved to Munich,
Germany, where he continued to struggle financially, working odd jobs and living in a men's hostel. When World War I broke out, he eagerly enlisted in the
German Army, seeing the war as an opportunity to prove his worth and serve the nation he idolized. He served as a soldier on the Western Front and was wounded twice.
Hitler was deeply affected by
Germany’s defeat in 1918, and like many others, he felt betrayed by the German government, which he believed had stabbed the country in the back by signing the Treaty of Versailles.
