The National Socialists Were Enemies of The West

 The overall message is that Hitler was some sort of twentieth-century Joseph De Maistre seeking to defend Europe from the wrecking ball of the Left's revolutionaries.

For Hitler, German civilization did not deserve to survive since it had failed in its war against the Slavs and other presumed inferiors of Europe.

Had Hitler any real regard for preserving Western institutions from the Bolsheviks, he would certainly never have invaded Poland.

Were Hitler interested in weakening Soviet power, he would have, at the very least, sought a stronger Poland as a buffer state between central Europe and the Soviet east.

In reality, Hitler was hardly concerned with defending Western civilization, but was driven by far more parochial concerns centered on taking back Danzig from the Poles and subjugating the "Inferior" Polish Slavs. Polish racial inferiority, of course, was explicit in Nazi law and Nazi ideology.

The National Socialists Were Leftists The fact that the National Socialists were most at home with the revolutionary Left is further explored in detail by the great Austrian polymath Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn in his book Leftism: From de Sade and Marx to Hitler and Marcuse.

Regarding Hitler as a "Basically mediocre neurotic," Kuehnelt-Leddihn notes that Hitler "Certainly subscribed to Mussolini's 'Everything within the State, nothing outside the State, nothing against the State'"-a slogan utterly contrary to traditional Western thought.

Kuehnelt-Leddihn connects Hitler's anti-Catholicism to his early years living under the conservative Austrian regime which Hitler loathed.

Kuehnelt-Leddihn writes: A study of the numerical development of the different parties in the four elections preceding Hitler's advent to power is most interesting.

In spite of all the evidence, the "Hitler-tried-to-save-Europe" meme seems to endure among some of those who who fancy themselves as very edgy or contrarian defenders of "Christendom" and "The West." Moreover, by buying into to the idea of Hitler as some sort of defender of the West, those who favor rehabilitating the National Socialists promote the Left's propaganda line that the Nazis were conservatives, reactionaries, Christians, or some other type of European traditionalists.

Hitler's modern-day defenders are no different.
