  7.  @sethtwc  That was only due to Hitler being in competition with communist, Marxist and Socialist elements in Germany. Hitler was not the only show in town, he did not even have the largest crowds, not at first, it was a progression. Hitler himself said that he is a Socialist and that his world view for the Aryan German people was a Socialist utopia where the Aryan German people did not have to work hard, had a fare share of society, Hitler simply did not get the chance to see his Socialist plans come to reality. If Hitler had won WW2 he would have progressed onwards to his Socialist utopia > Historian Modris Eksteins argued: Contrary to many interpretations of Nazism, which tend to view it as a reactionary movement, as, in the words of Thomas Mann, an "explosion of antiquarianism", intent on turning Germany into a pastoral folk community of thatched cottages and happy peasants, the general thrust of the movement, despite archaisms, was futuristic. Nazism was a headlong plunge into the future, towards a "brave new world." Of course it used to advantage residual conservative and utopian longings, paid respect to these romantic visions, and picked its ideological trappings from the German past. but its goals were, by its own lights, distinctly progressive. It was not a double-faced Janus whose aspects were equally attentive to the past and the future, nor was it a modern Proteus, the god of metamorphosis, who duplicates pre-existing forms. The intention of the movement was to create a new type of human being from whom would spring a new morality, a new social system, and eventually a new international order. That was, in fact, the intention of all the fascist movements. After a visit to Italy and a meeting with Mussolini, Oswald Mosley wrote that fascism "has produced not only a new system of government, but also a new type of man, who differs from politicians of the old world as men from another planet." Hitler talked in these terms endlessly. National Socialism was more than a political movement, he said; it was more than a faith; it was a desire to create mankind anew.[330]
