Idk what he believed in man, but he for sure started off with socialist ideas for the Volk. He loved mass movements, we might call him the founder of populist propaganda but it would be a disservice to other dictators. Trying to pretend that part of history didn’t happen is misleading and anti-democratic ya know…
I don’t think people totally flip their ideals half way through their careers. If you think of other evil authoritarian supremacist people, Margaret Thatcher, ian paisley, etc (though all had very different personalities in other ways) they dissent start off altruistic or considerate or tolerant. People tend to keep the same ideas the while way through their lives.
Works be interesting to hear if Hitler was different.
