A German priest confessed before his death: At first they were chasing the communists, but I didn’t say anything - because I was not a communist

Then they chased the communists. When they killed the Jews, I didn't say anything - because I was not a Jew; later they went after the trade unionists, but I didn't say anything - because I was not a trade unionist; then they went after the Catholics, but I didn't say anything - because I am a Protestant; finally They came to me, but no one stood up to speak for me anymore.

——Martin Niemoller, German Protestant pastor.

Nazism (nà?cuì), or National Socialism. The name "Nazi" comes from the German "Nazi", which is the abbreviation of the German "Nationalsozialist". Nazism is the transliteration of the abbreviation "Nazismus" of the German "Nationalsozialismus", which means "national socialism". It is the political proposition put forward by Hitler and others before World War II. The basic theories of Nazism include: promoting the theory of racial excellence, believing that the "superior race" has the right to enslave or even eliminate "inferior races"; emphasizing the principle of "leadership" in all fields, claiming that "leaders" are representatives of the overall will of the country, and that state power should It is controlled by one person; he advocates social Darwinism and advocates using war as a means to seize living space and establish world hegemony.

Fascism (English: fascism; German: Faschismus) was a nationalist political movement led by the German Nazi Party. Fascism is a unique term and does not have an abbreviation. The so-called abbreviation is actually a rumor. It originally referred to the ancient Roman corset that symbolized civil rights and later became the translation of the German National Socialist Party.

Nazism sprouted in the German Weimar Republic after World War I. It was the product of sharp contradictions inside and outside Germany, so people also called it the German Nazis. At that time, Germany was faced with issues such as assuming war responsibilities and war compensation, as well as moving out of non-German residences. It was in trouble economically and suffered setbacks in its national sentiments. Hitler and others took advantage of the German people's hatred of the Treaty of Versailles and the excellent opportunity of the economic crisis to evolve nationalism into national revanchism, allowing Nazism to be formed. German Nazism first pointed its finger at the domestic Jews, claiming that the Aryan-Germanic people of Northern Europe were a race given "master power" by God, while the Jews were an inferior race and should be eliminated and exterminated. After anti-Semitism succeeded, Nazism advocated that the world was a jungle where the jungle prevailed and the fittest survived. All nations must win in the fierce competition for survival and carried out foreign aggression and expansion, leading the world to war and disaster.
