With respect to one attitude, Hitler most assuredly was not secretive or  reticent--his utter hatred of democracy:
         Democracy is a great evil.  It diffuses people's resentment.  It changes it.  It drives it inward and underground.  It poisons man's blood.  It poisons the earth.  All the energies it could have released are wasted.
         I AM ADOLPH HITLER, by Adolph Hitler, Ed. by Werner/Lotte Pelz, 1971, Page 109

         Dictatorship?  Call it (National Socialism) what you will.  I am not sure whether this word should be used to describe it, but I am no friend of the amorphous mass; I am a deadly enemy of democracy which has led us into misfortune.
         SECRET CONVERSATIONS WITH HITLER, Edited by Edouard Calic, 1971. Page 40

         His contempt lay on his firm belief that all men are not equal and any attempt to treat them so is repugnant:
         As soon as the idea was introduced that all men were equal before God, that world was bound to collapse.
         HITLER'S TABLE TALK, 1941-1944, Translated by Cameron & Stevens, 2000, page 336

         From his vantage point it was ridiculous to accept men as unequal in the economic sphere but equal in the realm of politics.  In that revealing speech before the Industry Club in January 1932 Hitler stated:
         Thus it must be admitted that in the economic sphere, from the start, in all branches men are not of equal value or of equal importance.  And once this is admitted it is madness to say: in the economic sphere there are undoubtedly differences in value, but that is not true in the political sphere.  It is absurd to build up economic life on the conceptions of achievement, of the value of personality, and therefore in practice on the authority of personality, but in the political sphere to deny the authority of personality and to thrust into its place the law of the greater number--democracy.
         HITLER'S SPEECHES by Norman Baynes, 1942, VOLUME 1, Page 787

         To Hitler majority decisions represented nothing more than the pooling of ignorance, a view which appears to echo the view of some Bushites in the 2000 Presidential election.  Hopefully Americans will be attune to any tell-tale signs in this direction during future electoral seasons.
        Speaking at Weimar on 2 July 1936, at the celebration of the 10th anniversary of the Parteitag held in that city, Hitler said:
         The object of the Special Sessions is to deal with certain problems of a purely material kind.  Here, too, the ruling principle is: Never must a resolution be passed by a majority decision!  Never!  The official in charge of the Special Session listens to the various expressions of opinion, and then on his side gives his decision.  He announces: "I now close the discussion: I have formed a picture and I will now suggest to the Leader that this or that should be done.”
         HITLER'S SPEECHES by Norman Baynes, 1942, VOLUME 1, Page 200

         As regards the Head of the State, should anything happen to me, it would be as unsound to elect my successor by public vote as it would for, say, the Pope to be elected by suffrage among the faithful, or the Doge of Venice by the vote of the whole population of the city.  If the mass of the people were invited to take part in such a vote, the whole fighting would degenerate into a propaganda battle, and the propaganda for or against any candidate would tear the people asunder.
         HITLER'S TABLE TALK, 1941-1944, Translated by Cameron & Stevens, 2000, page 534

         He viewed democracy as an absurd system in which people were being asked to make political decisions on subjects in which they were unqualified, usually lacking any expertise.  It is analogous to allowing custodians to make decisions on brain surgery.
        In a 3 September 1933 speech in Nuremberg he stated:
         That all men in a nation are capable of administering or determining the administration of a farm or a factory is denied.  However, that they are capable of administering or determining the administration of the state is solemnly attested in the name of democracy.  This is a contradiction in itself!
         ADOLPH HITLER QUOTATIONS, by Karl Hammer,1990, Page 32

         But why first appoint a special man for propaganda, if treasurers, secretaries, membership secretaries, etc., are to judge a question that concerns him--this to a sound mind appears just as incomprehensible as it would be incomprehensible if in a great industrial enterprise the directors of the engineers of other departments or other branches were to decide on questions which have nothing whatsoever to do with their affairs.
         I did not give in to this lunacy, but after a very short time I stayed away from the meetings.
         MEIN KAMPF, Adolph Hitler, New York, Reynal & Hitchcock, 1939, page 858

         Hitler saw no future whatever for democracy:
         Democracy is hypocrisy, laziness.  It is the stench of decay.  The death rattle of a nation, its jaw-cracking yawn.  Even history professors will one day shake with laughter, when they read your eulogies and defenses of democracy.
         I AM ADOLPH HITLER, by Adolph Hitler, Ed. by Werner/Lotte Pelz, 1971, Page 95

         Democracy was little more than a front for anarchism according to the Fuhrer.  In Nuremberg on 9 September 1936 he stated:
         Democracy is the intellectual cause of anarchy and, indeed, the intellectual basis of anarchy in every shape.  No state owes its origin to present-day democracy, though all great empires have gone to ruin on this form of democracy.  Indeed, the final excesses of this type of democracy must lead to anarchism, just as authority, or better the principle of authority, must in the final analysis lead again to the state, that is, to a higher order of the community.
         HITLER'S WORDS, by Adolph Hitler, Edited by Gordon Prange, 1944, page 44

         In Nuremberg on 9 September 1936:
         It is clear that every higher order of the community is only then rational, yes, tolerable, when the authoritarian will which prevails in it proceeds from those who are qualified to exercise this will and are of the same blood as the community itself....  Just as states did not develop from the democratic principle of the unlimited freedom of the individual, so they cannot be maintained by means of concessions in this direction.
         ... With the victory of National Socialism the play of unrestricted forces introduced by democracy was ended.
         HITLER'S WORDS, by Adolph Hitler, Edited by Gordon Prange, 1944, page 45

         He attributed Germany’s decline to democracy by stating In Berlin on 2 March 1933:
         Nations have always gone to ruin on the principle of democracy.  If Germany has declined in the last 14 years, it is because the advocacy of the principle of democracy had gone so far that its patrons and representatives in Germany were actually subject to the mediocrity of numbers, whose very sovereignty they preached.
         HITLER'S WORDS, by Adolph Hitler, Edited by Gordon Prange, 1944, page 43

         And of course the Jews are to blame for spreading the virus:
         Until the Jews, the Pariahs, made people's minds ferment with ideas of gutter equality, nobody seriously thought of overthrowing kings and emperors.
         I AM ADOLPH HITLER, by Adolph Hitler, Ed. by Werner/Lotte Pelz, 1971, Page 80

         In a 12 April 1920 Munich speech:
         Democracy: fundamentally nothing German, rather something Jewish.
         ADOLPH HITLER QUOTATIONS, by Karl Hammer,1990, Page 31

         In Munich in October 1922:
         Democracy is Jewish domination, for the people do not rule; public opinion is manufactured by the press, which is owned by Jews.  At the same time democracy is not an end in itself, but the means to an end.  The end is the achievement of Jewish domination through education for democracy--that is, through the creation of a lethargic mass of people who thinks that it rules through its elected representatives.
         ... It is our task to gather about us those dissatisfied with parliamentarianism in order to give our people the place it deserves.
         HITLER'S WORDS, by Adolph Hitler, Edited by Gordon Prange, 1944, page 37

         Democracy has killed itself with its own policy.  And if the Jews persist in it, they will find themselves facing fresh pogroms which will hit them harder than those described in their biblical past.
         SECRET CONVERSATIONS WITH HITLER, Edited by Edouard Calic, 1971. Page 40

         In a speech in Munich on 12 April 1922:
         And the RIGHT has further completely forgotten that democracy is fundamentally not German: it is Jewish.  It has completely forgotten that this Jewish democracy with its majority decisions has always been without exception only a means toward the destruction of any existing Aryan leadership.  The RIGHT does not understand that directly every small question of profit or loss is regularly put before so-called "public opinion," he who knows how most skillfully to make this "public opinion" serve his own interests becomes forthwith master in the State.  And that can be achieved by the man who can lie most artfully, most infamously; and in the last resort he is not the German, he is, in Schopenhauer's words, "the great master in the art of lying"--the Jew.
         MY NEW ORDER  by Adolph Hitler, Edited by de Sales, 1941, page 21

         Those who allege Hitler is on the Left politically should carefully note that he is giving advice to the Right to strengthen their cause.  He definitely considered himself to be “conservative,” or Right-Wing showing that at least he fully comprehends which end of the political spectrum he represents.
        He claimed to have rescued Germany from democracy just as he saved it from communism:
         Democracy is no longer the suitable political medium for the great decisions of the coming years.  It is the happy fortune of Germany to have cast off this outworn political form in good time.
         THE VOICE OF DESTRUCTION, by Hermann Rauschnigg, 1940, page 107

         Democracy is a poison which disintegrates the body of the nation, and its action is the more deadly the more naturally strong and healthy the nation it infects.  In the course of time, the old democracies have become more or less immune from this poison, and might have gone on vegetating under its influence for another decade or so.  But for Germany, a young, unspoiled nation, the poison is instantly fatal.
         The German people, had had to be rescued from all dangerous and contaminating contact with this political pestilence, democracy.  They would have perished otherwise.
         THE VOICE OF DESTRUCTION, by Hermann Rauschnigg, 1940, page 108

         On 11 December 1933 he addressed the National Socialist members of the newly elected Reichstag by saying:
         Marxism and the Government which had prepared the way for Marxism, the anti-national democracy, had been overthrown and now no power in Germany could destroy the "People's State" which had been established through the National Socialist Movement.
         HITLER'S SPEECHES by Norman Baynes, 1942, VOLUME 1, Page 429

         He sought to depict himself as a savior taking Germany to nirvana:
         They that do my will, will save their life.  They will have all the good things of the earth and the hope of better things to come.
         I AM ADOLPH HITLER, by Adolph Hitler, Ed. by Werner/Lotte Pelz, 1971, Page 54

         When once the CONSERVATIVE forces in Germany realize that only I and my party can win the German proletariat over to the State and that no parliamentary games can be played with the Marxist parties, then Germany will be saved for all time, then we can found a German Peoples State.
         SECRET CONVERSATIONS WITH HITLER, Edited by Edouard Calic, 1971. Page 36

         We alone can save the disintegrating bourgeoisie from this foe.  The Jews may utilize this fighting organization against us.  They will certainly try.  Our national bourgeoisie is as opportunistically minded as its Jewish allies.
         SECRET CONVERSATIONS WITH HITLER, Edited by Edouard Calic, 1971. Page 52

         And he was quite contemptuous of the capitalists’ ability to know where their own interests lie.
 In the political field there is no stupider class than the bourgeoisie.
         HITLER'S TABLE TALK, 1941-1944, Translated by Cameron & Stevens, 2000, page 484

         ... healthy and unspoiled people avoid "bourgeois mass meetings" as the Devil avoids holy water.
         MEIN KAMPF, Adolf Hitler, New York, Reynal & Hitchcock, 1939, page 717

         A major inconsistency permeating this entire charade lies in the fact that Hitler actually claimed to be instituting the “highest” democracy after having denounced democracy with such vehemence.  If his democracy is a democracy worthy of the name, then he is a hypocrite for having denounced democracy per se; if it isn’t, then he’s a liar.  Either way more evidence of his fraudulent nature surfaces.
        In Berlin on 30 January 1937 he stated:
         They talk of democracies and dictatorships; but they fail to grasp the fact that in this country a radical transformation has taken place and has produced results which are democratic in the highest sense of the word, if democracy has any meaning at all.
         ... By this process of selection, which will follow the laws of nature and the dictates of human reason, those among our people who show the greatest natural ability will be appointed to positions in the political leadership of the nation.  In making this selection no consideration will be given to birth or ancestry, name or wealth, but only to the question of whether or not the candidate has a natural aptitude for those higher positions of leadership.
         HITLER'S WORDS, by Adolf Hitler, Edited by Gordon Prange, 1944, page 46

         In that same speech:
         Does a more glorious socialism or a truer democracy exist than that which enables any German boy to find his way to the head of the nation?  The purpose of the Revolution was not to deprive a privileged class of its rights, but to raise a class without rights to equality....
         MY NEW ORDER  by Adolf Hitler, Edited by de Sales, 1941, page 408

         In Munich on 8 November 1938 he not only claimed to be spreading democracy but, in a technique virtually identical to that used by the Bushites of today, eliminating dictatorships:
         If these British officials now explain to the democratic world that in the present year we have destroyed two democracies [in Austria and Czechoslovakia], then I can only ask: What essentially is democracy anyway?  Who has the right to speak in the name of democracy?  Did God hand the key to democracy to Messrs. Churchill and Duff Cooper?  Is this inscribed on tables of law which are in the position of the British opposition?  In our eyes democracy is a regime which is supported by the will of the people.  According to the rules of parliamentary democracy I at one time became Chancellor in Germany--and indeed leader of by far the strongest party.  According to the rules of parliamentary democracy I received formerly the unconditional majority and--Mr. Churchill may doubt it if he likes--today the unanimous approval of the German people....
         I, as an arch-democrat, have removed two dictatorships, namely, the dictatorships of Mr. Schuschnigg and the dictatorships of Mr. Benes.  I tried peacefully to influence these two dictatorships to establish finally in a democratic way the right of self-determination for those concerned.  I failed in this attempt.  Not till then did I apply the power of the great German people in order to establish democracy in these countries--that is, in order to give oppressed peoples their freedom.
         HITLER'S WORDS, by Adolf Hitler, Edited by Gordon Prange, 1944, page 51
         HITLER, [Speeches and Proclamations], by Max Domarus, Vol. 2, page 1238

         No objective observer can fail to note the duplication in styles and justifications practiced by Hitler and Bush or be indulgent therewith.
         Moreover, both men are prone to treat foreign reactions to their deeds by telling others to mind their own affairs, dispense with the reprimands, and cease instructing others on how to behave.
        On 23 March 1933 Hitler said to the Reichstag:
         The fight against communism in Germany is an internal affair, in which we will never tolerate outside interference.
         HITLER, SPEECHES AND PROCLAMATIONS 1932-45, Vol. 1, by Max Domarus, page 284
         HITLER'S SPEECHES by Norman Baynes, 1942, VOLUME 2, Page 1019

         America can keep her system, but she will never be able to dictate to us our historic path.
         SECRET CONVERSATIONS WITH HITLER, Edited by Edouard Calic, 1971. Page 79

         In Munich on 8 November 1938:
         Mr. Churchill can be Prime Minister by tomorrow.  And when one leader of the British Opposition declares that it is not the German Volk they wish to destroy but the regime, then that is one and the same thing since this regime will not be destroyed lest one destroys the entire German Volk!  And if someone claims that he wishes to free the German Volk from this regime, then I will tell him: The German Volk is none of your business!  If there is one man whose business is the German Volk, my dear gentlemen of the British Parliament, then that is me!
         The regime in Germany is an internal affair of the German Volk, and we will not stand for being supervised as if by a schoolmaster.
         HITLER, [Speeches and Proclamations], by Max Domarus, Vol. 2, page 1237

         And lastly, in Nuremberg on 14 September 1936:
         What business is it of democracy that National Socialism governs in Germany?  It does not need to tolerate National Socialism in its own countries, just as we in Germany reject any more democracy [of the bourgeois variety]....
         HITLER'S WORDS, by Adolf Hitler, Edited by Gordon Prange, 1944, page 45

         Hitler detested democracy not only because he felt rule by the masses was rule by the ignorant and unqualified, comparable to housemaids making decisions on brain surgery, but even more importantly because he felt democracy aided Marxism by not smashing and outlawing Marxist parties and all those on the Left.  From his perspective, and that of many Americans today, democrats [not to be equated with those in the Democrat party] are nothing more than Marxist agents or dupes undermining the nation.  He viewed them as essentially Marxists in other garb and deserving of comparable treatment and disdain.  One can easily understand why Stalin, Roosevelt, and Churchill joined hands to fight this odious menace.  It galled Hitler immensely that bourgeois democrats were not alarmed by what he deemed to be a grave danger and would not join him in a united crusade against bolshevism, in the same manner Bush is perturbed by European nations refusing to join his crusade against Iraq/terrorism.
        Hitler expressed these sentiments on many, many occasions as the following extensive list of quotations proves:
         In Nuremberg on 13 September 1937 Hitler stated:
         One would have to be incredibly naive to dispute the fact that Bolshevism does indeed have that international character, i.e. a revolutionary character, in an age when Bolshevism hardly allows a day to pass without stressing its mission of world revolution as the be-all and end-all of its program, and hence the basis for its very existence!  Only a bourgeois-democratic politician would refuse to believe what the programmatic foundation of this Red world movement actually is and what, in reality, is revealed in fact to be the most significant feature of this world movement.  National Socialism was not the first to claim that Bolshevism was international; it was Bolshevism itself--the strictest rendering of Marxism--which solemnly proclaimed its international character.
         ... And it pains me just as much that no one even believes Bolshevism when it itself asserts its intentions and proclaims what it is.
         HITLER, [Speeches and Proclamations], by Max Domarus, Vol. 2, page 937

         In Nuremberg on 14 September 1936:
         I see this danger [Bolshevism], and I do not belong to those who now in the face of it become faint and close their eyes and then no longer want to admit the truth of it.  In view of this situation threatening human culture and civilization, I cannot disguise the depth of my inmost sympathy for those who in their countries either have abolished this danger or at least banished it.
         HITLER'S WORDS, by Adolf Hitler, Edited by Gordon Prange, 1944, page 259

         Hitler’s closing speech at the Parteitag in Nuremberg in September 1936 was devoted primarily to an explanation of the hostility of the Third Reich to Bolshevism.
        He stated:
         Unfortunately I cannot escape the impression that most of those who doubt the danger to the world of bolshevism come themselves from the East.  As yet politicians in England have not come to know bolshevism in their own country; we know it already.  Since I have fought against these Jewish-Soviet ideas in Germany, since I have conquered and stamped out this peril, I fancy that I possess a better comprehension of its character than do men who have only at best had to deal with it in the field of literature.
         MY NEW ORDER by Hitler, Edited by Raoul de Roussy de Sales, 1941, Page 404

         His closing speech at the Nuremberg Parteitag of 1937:
         What others maintain that they cannot see simply because they do not wish to see it, that we unfortunately must recognize as a bitter fact: the world of today is in a state of growing revolt, and the intellectual and material preparation and leadership of this revolt issue without doubt from the authorities of Jewish Bolshevism in Moscow.
         HITLER'S SPEECHES by Norman Baynes, 1942, VOLUME 1, Page 695

         In the New Year's Proclamation for 1 January 1932:
         The bourgeois parties view what happens in the world through their own eyes.  Small and shortsighted as they are, they suppose the manifestations of the environment to be powers similar to their own.  Even now, they have not yet recognized in Bolshevism the destruction of all human cultures but perceive it to be perhaps still "an interesting experiment of a new desire on the part of the State."  They are totally unaware that today  thousand-year-old culture is being shaken to its very foundations; they have no conception of the fact that, if Bolshevism ultimately triumphs, it will not merely mean that a few miserable bourgeois governments will go to the devil, but that irreplaceable historic traditions will come to an end as well.  Yes, and that furthermore a turning point in the development of humanity will inevitably be the end result in the worst meaning of the word.  Bolshevism's triumph means not only the end of today's peoples, their states, their cultures, and their economies; it also means the end of their religions!  This world shock will result not in freedom, but in barbarous tyranny on the one hand and a materialistic brutalization of man on the other!
         As so often before in the history of peoples, Germany's fate this time will again be of decisive importance for the fate of all.  If the flags of the red stultification and brutalization of humanity should ever be hoisted over Germany, the rest of the world will share the same lot.
 For 70 years, disreputable bourgeois parties in Germany have exhausted the power of the national idea and, to a large degree, left our Volk at the mercy of Marxism.  For 70 years the parties of democracy and, in their wake, the strictly Christian Center Party [the Catholic Centrum], have helped to corrupt our Volk by practicing sodomy with the forerunners of Bolshevism.
         HITLER, SPEECHES AND PROCLAMATIONS 1932-45, Vol. 1, by Max Domarus, page 80

         In his closing speech at the Nuremberg Parteitag of 1937:
         The peril cannot be banished by a simple denial of its existence.  I can readily believe that the statesmen of the democratic world find no pleasure in concerning themselves with the problems raised by Communism.  But that question is not under discussion.  They need not wish to concern themselves with Communism, but concern themselves with Communism they must one of these days or their democracy in one way or another will fall in ruins.  This world pestilence will ask no man's permission to put an end to the democracies through the Marxist dictatorship: it will do so without any man's leave, unless it meets with opposition.  And this opposition must be something else than a merely Platonic rejection of the doctrine, or any more or less solemn proclamation of hostility: there must be an immunization of the peoples against this poison, while the international carrier of the bacillus must itself be fought.  This immunization will be all the more necessary since in our Europe, which is so closely linked together, the fate of the single States is bound up with that of the other States.  Yes, that is not all: since this Europe forms a community of peoples and States which has been gradually built up through the centuries amongst close neighbors and has been supplemented and enriched through this give-and-take of neighborhood, therefore if within this community one State is infected, that infection is not only a strain upon that particular State while for the other States it is perhaps merely interesting: on the contrary it is decisive for all like.  Just as in a school healthy children cannot be left together with those suffering from an infectious disease, so in Europe no useful and happy common life of the nations is in the long run possible when amongst their numbers there are some who are suffering from a poisonous infection and who openly profess their desire to infect others with the same disease.
         HITLER'S SPEECHES by Norman Baynes, 1942, VOLUME 1, Page 693

         In Nuremberg on 13 September 1937:
         Moreover, he who has no concept of the magnitude of this world menace and above all holds, for reasons of domestic and foreign policy, that he is not allowed to take this menace seriously, will all too easily intentionally overlook everything which might perchance be seen to constitute proof of the existence of this world menace.
         As National Socialists, we are fully conscious of the origins and conditions of the fight which is today causing unrest in the world.  Above all, we comprehend the extent and dimensions of this struggle.  It is a gigantic event in terms of world history!  The greatest menace with which the culture and civilization of the human race have been threatened since the collapse of the nations in Antiquity.
 This crisis cannot be compared to any of the otherwise habitual wars or any of the revolutions that take place so often.  No, this is an all-encompassing, general attack against modern societal order, against our spiritual and cultural world.  This attack is being launched both against the essential character of the peoples per se, against their inner organization and against the race's own leadership of these bodies politic, as well as against their spiritual life, their traditions their economies, and all the other institutions which determine the overall essence, character, and life of these peoples or states.  This attack is so extensive that it draws nearly all of the functions of life into the sphere of its actions.  The duration of this battle is unforeseeable.  One thing which is certain is that, since the birth of Christianity, the triumphant advance of Mohammedanism or the Reformation, nothing of this type has ever before taken place in this world.  What others profess not to see because they simply do not want to see it, is something we must unfortunately state as a bitter truth: the world is presently in the midst of an increasing upheaval, whose spiritual and factual preparation and whose leadership undoubtedly proceed from the rulers of Jewish Bolshevism in Moscow.
         When I quite intentionally present this problem as Jewish, then you, my Party Comrades, know that this is not an unverified assumption, but a fact proven by irrefutable evidence.
         HITLER, [Speeches and Proclamations], by Max Domarus, Vol. 2, page 938

         The National Socialist movement must never forget this, and above all it must never become influenced by those bourgeois simpletons who know everything better, but who nevertheless have gambled away a great State together with their own existence, and the rulership of their class.  Indeed, they are exceedingly clever, they know everything, understand everything--only one thing they did not understand: that is, to prevent the German people from falling into the arms of Marxism.  Here they failed most wretchedly and most miserably, so that their present conceit is only bumptiousness that in the form of pride, along with stupidity, always grows on the same tree.
         MEIN KAMPF, Adolf Hitler, New York, Reynal & Hitchcock, 1939, page 716

         In a speech in Nuremberg on 14 September 1936:
        ... But this Bolshevism which as we learned only a few months since intends to equip its army so that it may with violence, if necessary, open the gate to revolution amongst other peoples--this bolshevism should know that before the gate of Germany stands the new German army.  It would be foolish if we refused to consider the possibilities presented by a Bolshevik Revolution in Europe.... I believe that as a National Socialist I appear in the eyes of many bourgeois democrats as only a wild man.  But as a wild man I still believe myself to be a better European, in any event a more sensible one, than they.  It is with grave anxiety that I see the possibility in Europe of some such development as this: democracy may continuously disintegrate the European States, may make them internally ever more uncertain in their judgment of the dangers which confront them, may above all cripple all power for resolute resistance.  Democracy is the canal through which bolshevism lets its poisons flow into the separate countries and lets them work there long enough for these infections to lead to a crippling of intelligence and of the force of resistance.  I regard it as possible that then--in order to avoid something still worse--coalition governments, masked as Popular Fronts or the like, will be formed and that these will endeavor to destroy--and perhaps will successfully destroy-- in these peoples the last forces which remain, either in organization or in mental outlook, which could offer opposition to bolshevism.
         MY NEW ORDER  by Adolf Hitler, Edited by de Sales, 1941, page 404

         At Nuremberg on 13 September 1937:
         Just as in past eras these philosophic struggles influenced life in its entirety and drew it in the wake of their battles, Bolshevism reacts upon the world today.  Its effect is that of a slow poison, which does not halt in the face of refusal.  In past eras individual persons or peoples with other ideas and aims were unable to prevent themselves from being engulfed in catastrophes or decisive revolutions; today no one can save himself from the danger of Communism simply by disputing its existence or denying its dangerous effects.
         HITLER'S WORDS, by Adolf Hitler, Edited by Gordon Prange, 1944, page 262

         On 20 February 1938:
         Every Bolshevization of a European country constitutes a change in this status quo.  For these Bolshevized territories are then no longer autocratic states with a national life of their own, but sections in the Muscovite Center of Revolution.  I am aware that Mr. Eden does not share this view.  Mr. Stalin shares it, and openly admits it, and in my opinion, at present Mr. Stalin is personally a more reliable expert on and interpreter of Bolshevist ideas and intentions than a British Minister!
         HITLER, [Speeches and Proclamations], by Max Domarus, Vol. 2, page 1028

         In his closing statement at his 1924 trial:
         I had formerly thought that perhaps I could fight Marxism with the help of the government.  In January, 1923, I realized that this was hardly possible.
         THE HITLER TRIAL IN MUNICH, Volume 3, 1976, page 361

        I cannot believe that the civilized nations of the world are so blind that they will lacerate each other to smooth the way for Bolshevism.
         HITLER--MEMOIRS OF A CONFIDANT, by Otto Wegener, 1985, page 172

         In his speech to the Industry Club in Dusseldorf on 27 January 1932:
         In any event--if European and American modes of thought remain in the future as they are today--we shall find that Bolshevism will gradually spread over Asia.
         HITLER'S SPEECHES by Norman Baynes, 1942, VOLUME 1, Page 799

         In the same speech:
         Cannot people see that in our midst already a cleavage has opened up, a cleavage which is not merely a fancy born in the heads of a few persons, but whose spiritual exponent forms today the foundation of one of the greatest world-Powers.  Can they not see that Bolshevism today is not merely a mob storming about in some of our streets in Germany, but is a conception of the world which is in the act of subjecting to itself the entire Asiatic continent, and which today in the form of a State stretches almost from our eastern frontier to Vladivostok?
         HITLER'S SPEECHES by Norman Baynes, 1942, VOLUME 1, Page 797

         In a speech in Berlin on 30 January 1937:
         If Europe does not awaken to the danger of bolshevist infection, commerce will decrease in spite of all the good will of individual statesmen.
         MY NEW ORDER  by Adolf Hitler, Edited by de Sales, 1941, page 411

         In his speech to the Reichstag on 30 January 1934:
         That the bourgeois [democratic] world was completely in the dark as to the nature of this struggle to the death between two world systems is proved by the fact that a year ago it still believed that it had only passively to watch the struggle to emerge as victor itself at the end.
         HITLER'S SPEECHES by Norman Baynes, 1942, VOLUME 2, Page 1155

         The second thing that annoyed me was the way and the manner in which one thought fit to face Marxism.  In my eyes, this only proved that one really had not the slightest idea of this pestilence....
         That here one has to deal not with a party but with a doctrine which must of necessity lead to the destruction of entire mankind, this one understood the less as one did not hear it in the Jew-infested universities,...

         In Munich on 23 May 1926:
         You will remember I said... that the opinion that Marxism was finished, was madness and insanity, that it required extreme stupidity to believe in this madness.  I said that we could not get by without a final clash and that the final clash would not come someday in Parliament, but that there would be a showdown as the result of which one of us would be destroyed--either Marxism or we....

          In his speech to the Reichstag on 30 January 1934:
         So long as the leaders of the nation consciously departed from all that reason and experience show to be right, and paid homage to the insane ideas of Marxism, the only result could be the continued disintegration of the national community.
         HITLER'S SPEECHES by Norman Baynes, 1942, VOLUME 2, Page 1154

         In Berlin on 26 April 1942:
         Although Bolshevik Russia is the classic prototype of Jewish infection, we must not forget that democratic capitalism created the conditions for its growth.
         HITLER'S WORDS, by Adolf Hitler, Edited by Gordon Prange, 1944, page 84

         In Munich on 23 May 1926:
         You do not find that Communism is being subdued but rather that it is being radicalized; there is not a weakening of Marxism, but an undeniable strengthening of it.  The bourgeois parties are responsible for that today, after seven years, we are not standing, as might be expected, beside the corpse of Communism, but beside our own coffin.
         HITLER'S WORDS, by Adolf Hitler, Edited by Gordon Prange, 1944, page 251

         And finally, in Munich on 6 November 1932:
         Even this election has been proof!  Solely this Hugenberg-Papenish reaction is to blame for the fact that today for the first time 100 Bolshevists are taking their places in the German Reichstag!
         HITLER, SPEECHES AND PROCLAMATIONS 1932-45, Vol. 1, by Max Domarus, page 173

         Clearly an abundance of evidence exists to prove Hitler not only contended democrats were oblivious to the perceived Marxist threat and fronts for anarchists, as was noted earlier, but even considered them to be Marxist agents.
        The bourgeois world [the democracies] itself, without its knowing it, was infected with the cadaveric poison of Marxist ideas,...

         In Detmold on 4 January 1933 Hitler stated:
         And when the bourgeoisie run our Movement down and ask, "Why do you attack the bourgeoisie as well as the Marxists?" then my answer to them is: Because there would be no Marxists and would never have been any, had the bourgeois parties not existed previously.
         HITLER, SPEECHES AND PROCLAMATIONS 1932-45, Vol. 1, by Max Domarus, page 214

         Democracy of the West is the forerunner of Marxism, which would be inconceivable without it.  It is democracy alone which furnishes this universal plague with the soil in which it spreads.  In parliamentarianism, its outward form of expression, democracy created a "monstrosity of filth and fire" in which, to my regret, the "fire" seems to have burned out for the moment.
         MEIN KAMPF, Adolf Hitler, New York, Reynal & Hitchcock, 1939, page 99

         The bourgeois world is Marxist, but it believes in the possibility of a domination of certain human groups (bourgeoisie), while Marxism itself plans to transmit the world systematically into the hands of Jewry.
         MEIN KAMPF, Adolf Hitler, New York, Reynal & Hitchcock, 1939, page 579

         ...thus up to the year 1920 Marxism was actually not opposed by any flag that incorporated the polar contrast to its view of life.
         MEIN KAMPF, Adolf Hitler, New York, Reynal & Hitchcock, 1939, page 732

         Then did I see how all these parties were squabbling with Marxism only because of competitive jealousy without seriously seeking to annihilate it;...
         MEIN KAMPF, Adolf Hitler, New York, Reynal & Hitchcock, 1939, page 986

         The more I occupied myself in those days with the idea of a necessary change in the attitude of State governments towards Social Democracy as the present personification of Marxism, the more I recognized the lack of a suitable substitute for this doctrine.
         MEIN KAMPF, Adolf Hitler, New York, Reynal & Hitchcock, 1939, page 224

         Hitler was thoroughly disgusted by the “ganging up” of bourgeois-democratic and Marxist parties against the Nazis, but with his attitude and program what else could be expected.
        In an address to the Party Congress on 12 September 1938 he stated:
         Ever since the day we assumed power, we have been surrounded by a hostile environment.  The connivance between the gilded, capitalist democratic movement in our parliament on the one hand and Marxism on the other in their war on National Socialism is today mirrored in a like conspiracy, albeit on a larger scale, involving the democracies and the Bolshevists as they make war on the state constituted by the National Socialist Volksgemeinschaft.
         ... No matter whether they were bourgeois nationalists, capitalist democrats, or Marxist internationalists, they formed a unitary front against us in all decisive battles....
         HITLER, [Speeches and Proclamations], by Max Domarus, Vol. 2, page 1151

         In a 22 June 1932 proclamation on the Reichstag election:
         Nevertheless, a new wave of suppression and persecution is now hitting us.  The bloodiest terror practiced by the murdering scum of the Communist underworld is combined with continued breaches of the law and the Constitution committed by the Center and the Social Democratic Party in those Lander in which these parties are still in power.
         HITLER, SPEECHES AND PROCLAMATIONS 1932-45, Vol. 1, by Max Domarus, page 141

         He even took a swipe at the democracies for condemning his dictatorship while supporting the Soviet Union.
        In an address to the Party Congress on 12 September 1938 the Fuhrer stated:
         Dishonesty sets in the minute these democracies claim to represent government by the people and decry authoritarian states as dictatorships.  I believe that I can confidently state that today there are only two world powers who can honestly claim to have 99 percent of their people backing the government [Germany and Italy].  What in other countries goes by the name of democracy is in most cases little other than the apt manipulation of public opinion by means of money and the press, and the equally apt manipulation of the results hereby achieved.  How easily, however, are these supposed democracies stripped bare of their pretenses when one takes a close look at their stance in matters of foreign policy which constantly change to suit the purpose of the moment.  There we witness how truly repressive regimes in small countries are actually being glorified by these democracies if it suits their needs.  Yes, they even go so far as to fight for them, while on the other hand, they themselves actively repress inconvenient rallies in those states where such protest does not suit them.  They fail to a knowledge this activism, attempt to subvert it or simply misinterpret its significance.  And this is not all: these democracies even glorify Bolshevist regimes if it happens to suit their purpose, and this in spite of the fact that the latter style themselves as the dictatorship of the proletariat.
         In other words, these supposed democracies decry regimes that are backed by 99 percent of their constituents as dictatorships, while at the same time they praise other countries as highly respectable democratic institutions even though these call themselves dictatorships and even though these can only subsist on the basis of mass executions, torture, etc.  Is it not one of the greatest ironies in history that in the midst of upright prototype democrats in Geneva, the blood-drenched proponent of one of the cruelest tyrannies of all time moves about freely as a highly respected member of the Council.
         ... It is the same all over the world.  Bolshevist Moscow has become the highly revered ally of capitalist democracies!
         ... Without so much as a thought for the opinion of the natives, they [the capitalist democracies] have led a drive for the bloody subjugation of entire continents.  However, the minute that Germany mentions the return of its colonies, they declare that--out of concern for the indigenous people there--one could not possibly abandon the natives to so horrid a fate.  At the same time, they did not distance themselves from dropping bombs out of planes onto their own colonies.  And all this to use the force of reason to persuade the dear colored compatriots to submit to foreign rule a bit longer.  Of course, the bombs thus employed were bombs with civilizing warheads which one must absolutely not confuse with those brutal ones Italy used in Abyssinia.
         HITLER, [Speeches and Proclamations], by Max Domarus, Vol. 2, page 1152
         HITLER'S WORDS, by Adolf Hitler, Edited by Gordon Prange, 1944, page 50

         In an address to the Party Congress on 12 September 1938:
         ... Today we feel equally repelled as we watch the so-called international world democracies who supposedly advocate liberty, fraternity, justice, the right to self-determination of the peoples, etc. as we see these states ally themselves with Bolshevist Moscow.
         HITLER, [Speeches and Proclamations], by Max Domarus, Vol. 2, page 1151

         As can be seen, Hitler occasionally operated on the premise that the best defense is a good offense.  Instead of denying all the repressions, killings, imprisonments and deportations undeniably committed by the Nazis, he occasionally adopted the puerile rejoinder of seeking to attribute equal suppression to others by saying:  Well, you do it too.
         And of course he was always quick to utilize slanders rather than proofs to decry democracies as Jewish fronts.
        In a Berlin speech on 4 May 1941:
         And none but our Jew-ridden democracies, which can think only in terms of capitalism,...
         MY NEW ORDER  by Adolf Hitler, Edited by de Sales, 1941, page 954

         In Munich on 27 September 1922:
         Democracy equals capitalism equals the Jew.  For who rules in the so-called democracies, in France, England, and America, in the bourgeois democracies?  The Jew!  By what means does he rule?  In Russia he rules through terrorization, in the rest of the world through propaganda and through the contamination of national literature.  Another method is the racial contamination of the peoples, for no state has ever gone to ruin except through the decline of its race....
         HITLER'S WORDS, by Adolf Hitler, Edited by Gordon Prange, 1944, page 76

         By what rationale he can assert Jewish rule “in the rest of the world through propaganda,” and that would include Africa, Asia, and Latin America, is another one of those unanswered mysteries.
