What is Those Damned Nazis about?

If your referring to the pamphlet "Those damned Nazis" by Joseph Goebbels, than "those damned Nazis" is a fundamental statement of what it means to be a national socialist as well as a criticism of the left and the right wind in German party politics. Its actually pretty straight forward but if i suppose the cliff notes would be as follows.

In the first part of the pamphlet, the nation state is described as an organic union of people. To be nationalist is to believe the nation is the only way to bring all the forces of the nation together to preserve and improve the conditions under which national citizens live. However to be National or nationalist has nothing to do with supporting a particular form of government, rather the nationalist embraces any form of government that preserves the content of the nation. In this part Goebbels criticizes people who associate the nation only with a particular political form (monarchy, republic, etc) or with a particular economic forms (private property vs state ownership). The nationalist sees that all these political and economic forms are temporal but that the content of the nation is eternal.

In the second part of the pamphlet, socialism is described as the means to create a classless society. Goebbels criticizes international capitalism because it allows for the wealth of a nation to be used in a manner which destructive to the nation state and criticizes Marxism because it degrades the question of socialism to matters of "wages and the stomach" namely redistribution of wealth. Contrary to international capitalism and international socialism, Nationalist Socialism concerns forming a new state consciousness that includes every productive citizen.

Goebbels sums up the first two parts by stating that the Nazi is against bourgeoisie party politics and for genuine nationalism, against Marxism but for true socialism, united domestically and free internationally.

In the third part of the pamphlet Goebbels explains what is meant by workers party. Here the worker's party is radically redefined to include anyone who is involved in what that Nazis economist call productive labor. The notion relies on a principle that anyone who creates value for the community and the state is a worker (not just industrial workers). Here again there is criticism of capitalism, in particular using workers like they are a machine in work which is not creative or valueless.

The forth part of the pamphlet roles out the anti-Semitic portion of the pamphlet and is pretty much uninteresting nonsense. Though the basic claim is that the Jews as a community are either pro-capitalist and internationalist and opposed to national socialist workers.

the fivth part of the pamphlet lists the revolutionary demands of the NSDAP and is basically the Nazis early party political platform listing a number of international and domestic demands better conditions for workers and the rejection of the treaty of Versailles.

Comments: All in all its a pretty interesting argument that cleverly splits the difference between the radical right and radical left in German politics during the 30 and manages to synthesize the best of both into a unified philosophy. Unfortunately everything promising about this pamphlet was quickly compromised when the Nazis came into power, Goebbels and other radical socialists in the NSDAP quickly became outsiders unless they compromised these ideas.

P.S. hope this helped.
