Why was Nazism considered to be a negation of both democracy and socialism?

Ans.

(i) After assuming power on 30th January 1933, Hitler set out to dismantle the structure of democratic rule.

(ii) The Fire decree of 28th February 1933 indefinitely suspended civic rights like freedom of speech, press and assembly that had been guaranteed by the Weimar construction.

(iii) The repression of the Jews and communists was severe. On 3rd March 1933, the famous Enabling Act was passed. This Act established dictatorship in Germany.

(a) This Act gave Adolf Hitler all political and administrative power to side line the German Parliament.

(b) All political parties of Germany and trade unions were banned except for the Nazi party and its affiliates. The state established complete control over the economy, media, army and judiciary.

(c) Special surveillance and security forces besides the exiting regular police force, the Gestapo, the SD plus the extra-constitutional power of these newly construed forces gave the Nazi state reputation of being the most dreaded criminal state.
