If Hitler hated communists...then why was he a dictator?

Question

Okay, so i hope this doesn't sound stupid or anything. But, a long with the Jewish people, gypsies, blacks, or anyone who wasn't blonde haired and blue eyes, Hitler hated communists. However, he was one himself. He killed people, made them suffer, and did whatever he demanded. So why did he hate them...he's a stupid hypocrite!!!

Answer 1

He was a fascist. there is a difference

Answer 2

Hitler was by no means a communist. There are "communist dictatorships," but all dictatorships are not communist. He was technically not a dictator, either. He was the ultimate leader of his country, but he considered himself the chancellor.

He was hypocritical because he preached the superiority of the "Aryan Race," which meant tall, blue-eyed blonde people, but he was short and dark himself. He should have been tops on his own list for elimination and he didn't do it - until he had effectively lost the war - so he was a hypocrite.

Answer 3

As many people are, you are confused about what Communism in its purest form means. In an ideal communist society, the people, in the form of the government, is supposed to own all the land and resources and distribute them equally among the people so that no one is poor. The trouble was that leaders of the communist movement in Russia found that the people who owned property and other wealth were reluctant to have their land and wealth taken from them and re-distributed to everyone. So the communist government decided that a dictatorship was needed to force everyone to comply. They thought that eventually everything would be equal, and most people would be happy with what they had, and the dictatorship would no longer be necessary. But it didn't work out that way. People in government ended up with bigger pieces of the community pie and kept "dictating" to the people to keep their wealth. There are countries today who practice a form of communism/socialism, with the government owning large industries. But the people have welcomed this and these governments are for the most part quite democratic in nature.

The confusion you experienced comes from the fact that virtually all of the early experiments in communism and socialism resulted in dictatorships, and that is not what the founders of these ideologies envisioned at all.

Answer 4

Hitler was a Fascist not a Communist. His early rise to power was underwritten by some of the richest families in Germany such as von Thyssen, Krupps and Bechstein.
There are other forms of dictatorships apart from communist ones.
Nobody has ever accused Hitler of being a Communist simply because he was a dictator.

Answer 5

Hitler was a Fascist dictator as opposed to a Communist dictator.

Communist dictators particularly during the 1930s and 1940s required absolute allegiance to the idea of common ownership as a means of production, ideally establishing a classless society. Of course, no Communist with a capital "C" leader came near doing this. In the meanwhile, one of them, Joseph Stalin, ended up being authoritarian, militaristic, collectivistic, totalitarian--and anti Fascist. He also executed minorities he didn't like, or anyone else who disagreed with him. Stalin, by the way, was a short, funny-looking little man with a mustache whose father beat him when he was a child.

Fascist dictators, such as Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini, also subordinated individual needs to the will of the state and ended up being authoritarian, militaristic, collectivistic, totalitarian---and anti-Communist. Likewise, as you said, Hitler "killed people, made them suffer . . ." Hitler, was a short, funny-looking little man with a mustache whose father beat him when he was a child.

I can see why you are confused. Hitler was a German-speaking Austrian, and Stalin was a Russian-speaking Georgian (from the Soviet Republic of Georgia).

hi, a million) From the 1880's onward there replaced into plenty animosity against the Jews in Europe. To discredit then and get their land, the Russian secret provider had a super forgery written in France talked approximately as Protocols Of The Elders Of Zion which reported there replaced right into a super Jewish conspiracy to take over the worldwide via financial establishments and economically enslave all the Christians. regrettably fairly some human beings, alongside with Hitler's technology offered into that and could use it as a weapon against the Jews while he mandatory different scape goats as properly the Bolsheviks. 2) Given the hatred and worry of commies, (Bolsheviks), many Jews belonged to the up and coming socialist - communist events who taken care of them much extra appropriate than previous aristocratic and capitalist countries and hence have been recognized as revolutionaries and communist sympathizers. 3) opposite to city legend, Hitler did not come from a Jewish kin in any respect. 4) I even have not seen this in writing or documented yet I bear in mind as a newborn some older Germans who lived in those circumstances telling me that Hitler had misplaced a super costly pal to ailment and a few Jewish medical doctors refused to handle the pal in view that he had no money etc. Cheers, Michael Kelly

Answer 7

That aside. Communism and dictatorship are not fundamentally the same. In an ideal communist society every citizen is exactly equal, be they "pure blooded aryan", jew, gypsie, factory worker, or general. Hitler didn't trust or agree with this idealism (one russian communism really didn't exemplify in the first place).

Answer 8

Not all dictators are communists.

...and, actually, no dictator is likely ever to be a true communist, because true communism can not exist, due to the flaws of human nature: greed.

Hitler didn't believe that all people within society should be paid equally...thus, he was not, and could not be a communist.

Answer 9

Hitler was elected by a republic. He later assumed a military dictatorship during the time of war.

Answer 10

just because he was a dictator dosent mean he was a communist. maybe you should read the communism manefesto and do a bit of research about hitler himself.

Answer 11

Hitler was a facist, not a communist.
