Hitler's view was that Jews are a race. A race without state. They live within other states. They also have preserved their race in a cleaner form through inbreeding, then other races.
In his world view there is a hierarchy and classification of races. The 'Arier'/'Germanen'/'Deutsche' are a productive race able to create culture. There are races who can preserve culture and there are races, who can destroy culture. The jews.
(I'm not a proponent of this view.)
- staunch 11y agoThis is the official Nazi doctrine but that doesn't mean Hitler's own views aren't more complicated. Like most cult leaders, he probably didn't believe his own bullshit the way his followers did. I think there are some hints that this is true.
- lispm 11y agoHitler certainly believed his bullshit, but he did not believe all the bullshit around him.
