Just 70 years ago, the Great Patriotic War swept the world, but today the followers of the Führer declare their claims to political power. They are trying, under the guise of nationalists, to get into parliaments and cabinet ministers, claiming that in reality they pursue the interests of the people. So, how are they nevertheless nationalists different from the Nazis.
What is Nazism and nationalism
Nazism is the political ideology of National Socialism, in which the socialist structure of society and the state is closely intertwined with extreme nationalist and racist ideas. Such an ideology makes it possible to assert the superiority of one people over others, as well as to justify ethnic wars and racial discrimination. Important attributes of Nazism are the rejection of a market economy, totalitarianism, the introduction of universal conscription, an atmosphere of like-mindedness and total intolerance.
Nationalism is a political movement, the important principle of which is the protection of the nation and the observance of its interests. Moreover, a people can be united either by the principle of "one blood", or by the principle of "one faith", "one land". Political ideology defends the interests of the nation and at the same time it does not always affirm its superiority over other peoples.
