“National Socialism and Christianity are irreconcilable.”

“National Socialism is what Marxism might have been if it could have broken its absurd and artificial ties with a democratic order.”
“National Socialism made use of various means in dealing with various classes, and made various promises depending upon the social class it needed at a particular time. In the spring of 1933, for example, it was the revolutionary character of the Nazi movement that was given particular emphasis in Nazi propaganda in an effort to win over the industrial workers, and the first of May was "celebrated," but only after the aristocracy had been appeased in Potsdam. To ascribe the success solely to political swindle, however, would be to become entangled in a contradiction with the basic idea of freedom, and would practically exclude the possibility of a social revolution. What must be answered is: Why do the masses allow themselves to be politically swindled? The masses had every possibility of evaluating the propaganda of the various parties. Why didn't they see that, while promising the workers that the owners of the means of production would be disappropriated, Hitler promised the capitalists that their rights would be protected?”

It was the final fruit of the common man's repudiation of "the rascals". Its motif was, "Throw them all out.”

The distress would probably be made the greater thereby. If only the leaders and rulers had wanted peace, the people would never have wished for war.”

“National sovereignty is something that is encouraged by leaders and politicians and is easily accepted by the citizens because human beings are essentially tribal. But in reality, it does not actually exist, not in a legal or practical way. The main reason it is encouraged is because people need to accept that they will be required to die for their country during manipulated and staged wars and feel proud about that. The wars are required for depopulation purposes and for the financial gain of the leaders and instigators. And the leaders know very well that national sovereignty can be quickly and easily removed, considering it does not actually exist in the real world.”
“National sovereignty, since the Peace of Westphalia in 1648, had been considered as absolute in theory. When it was combined with national power, as the case of the USSR, it was absolute. National sovereignty buttressed by real national power could be bound or regulated only by two things: a sense of responsibility, or a fear of consequences.”

“Nationalism - in other words, the dividing of the church into bodies - consisting of such and such a nation, is a novelty, not above three centuries old, although many dear children of God are found dwelling in it.”
“NATIONALISM -- 1. A political creed which proclaims that plunder, conquest, extermination, exploitation and enslavement of one's neighbor are absolute evils -- when resorted to by the neighbor. 2. A foolproof political philosophy based both upon the liberal and humanitarian idea of every people's right to determine its own destiny, and on its very opposite, viz., the predatory, anti-humanitarian "master race" concept of every single ethnic group.”
“Nationalism always preserved this initial intimate loyalty to the government and never quite lost its function of preserving a precarious balance between nation and state on one hand, between the nationals of an atomized society on the other. Native citizens of a nation-state frequently looked down upon naturalized citizens, those who had received their rights by law and not by birth, from the state and not from the nation....”
“Nationalism among nations is like racism among races.”

“Nationalism among nations is like racism among races. Racism and nationalism are forms of tribalism. Tribalism always, always leads to war. Why? Because every nation thinks they're superior to other nations, and their own self-interest is more important than the self-interest of other nations.”

“Nationalism is terrorism.”
“Nationalism is the belief that your nation is superior to all other nations, which means all other nations are inferior to your nation. You then believe everyone else is subhuman; they’re not as good as you. If you are a mediocre person with mediocre IQ, mediocre life, believing you’re from the master race, you can look down on everybody else. It gives people, who have a meaningless life, a false sense of meaning and a false sense of value. Nationalism has been around for 230 years, making the world a really crappy place. There is no nation that is better than the next, and people who believe that are just stupid and haven’t traveled enough.”
