Hitler Was A Conservative

By Leo Gura - May 30, 2025

It infuriates me when conservatives act like Hitler was a leftist or socialist. This is a ghastly display of political ignorance because this stuff is so easy to look up. It shows that conservatives are intellectually bankrupt.

Here are all the reasons why Hitler was a conservative:

Hitler and the Nazis hated and outlawed modern, post-modern, and abstract art, which they viewed as degenerate. They only wanted traditional art that glorified German tradition. This is how conservatives regard art. Conservatives hate post-modern art because it is too free, too open, too ambiguous, too transgressive.
Who were Hitler’s mortal enemies? Who was Hitler’s opposition? Socialists! Communists! Marxists! Social Democrats. Hitler hated them as much as he hated Jews. In fact, he equated Jews and Marxists. His mission was to kill them all. This is what an ultra-conservative wants. An ultra-conservative doesn’t just want to stop or ban Marxists, he wants to crack their skulls and send them to the gas-chambers.
Which parties did Hitler ban as soon as he took power? Left or right? Marxists and Social Democrats. He outlawed these parties, arrested, tortured, and killed their leaders. He did not do that with conservative parties. At least not initially, only towards the end to finalize his dictatorship.
Which parties did Hitler and the Nazis ally and merge with? The liberal and Marxist ones? No! The most traditional and conservative ones in Germany.
Did Hitler fight for greater democracy or greater authoritarian consolidation of power? Hitler despised democracy. Hitler wanted 100% dictatorial top-down control of the state. That is not a leftist position, that is a conservative position. Conservatives always want to defend and preserve hierarchy. Leftists and liberals want to flatten and reduce hierarchy.
Did Hitler promise to outlaw private property? No! Marxists promised that. Hitler met with Germany’s top industrialists and promised them that he would not eliminate private property so they could keep their wealth and power. This is a conservative position. Conservatives want to preserve or revive old power structures. Conservatives want rich industrialists to have more power, not less.
Was Hitler open to free love and weird gender fluidity? No! He wanted to kill homosexuals and any non-traditional deviants. Who loves to kill gays, freaks, and hippies? Ultra-conservatives.
Was Hitler open to freedom of press and speech? No! Hitler wanted to burn all the books with deviant and non-traditional radical social ideas. Who wants to ban and burn books that challenge tradition? Ultra-conservatives, not liberals. Who wants to ban books about gay sex? Conservatives.
Which parts of the German political class supported and endorsed Hitler the most? Was it the Communists, liberals, Democrats? No! It was the religious traditionalists, the far-right, and the son of the former Kaiser who thought Hitler would help reinstate the monarchy. Who wants to do away with democracies and republics to instate monarchies? Ultra-conservatives.
Was Hitler a nationalist or an internationalist? He was an ultra-nationalist. Hitler hated internationalists (globalists) because they were liberal multicultural Marxist Jews who threatened Aryan German identity. Who loves nationalism and hates internationalism? Conservatives. Who hates multiculturalism? Conservatives.
Did Hitler abolish private property and ownership of big businesses? No.
Did Hitler champion equality and inclusiveness for all regardless of their class, race, gender, genetic ability? No! Hitler believed and said that the most powerful in society should dominate and kill the weak. This is a conservative position. It is conservative to let the weak die without wasting resources on them.
Did Hitler value and encourage diversity? Diversity of genetics, races, cultures, sexual orientations, perspectives, opinions, art styles? No! Hitler wanted a pure traditional Germanic culture, to the point of killing off everything and everyone else.
Was Hitler for or against freedom of sex? Against. The Nazis forced-sterilized half a million people they considered genetically inferior or deviant. Who limits, blocks, and outlaws sex? Conservatives.
Was Hitler very openminded or very closedminded? Extremely closedminded. He killed anyone who disagreed with or challenged his perspective or worldview. Conservatives are closedminded. Leftists are openminded.
Was Hitler loose, relaxed, and easy-going, or was he rigid and uptight? Hitler was so uptight that you could stick coal up his ass to make diamonds. Did Hitler drink, smoke, whore around? No. Hitler was very conservative and disciplined. He refused to play board games with his Nazi leadership because he believed that his followers should never see their leader lose.
Was Hitler compassionate and empathetic towards all? No! Hitler wanted to murder anyone who stood in the way of his strict nationalist agenda. That’s how ultra-conservatives are.
How did Hitler sell his political agenda to his supporters? Did Hitler champion nuance, openness, compassion, equality, fairness, love, peace, freedom, forgiveness? No! All his speeches were black & white, he spoke in absolutes, us vs them, good vs evil, crush your opponents, crack their skulls, kill the weak, blood and soil. This is how conservative think. This is what makes conservatives jizz their pants.
Was Hitler pro-immigration or anti-immigration? Hitler wanted to kill or deport anyone who didn’t fit his rigid, narrow notion of Aryan German. That’s what conservatives value: ethnic, racial, and national purity.
Did Hitler want a rich multi-cultural Germany or a narrow mono-cultural Germany? Mono-cultural, traditional, narrow, strict. That’s what conservatives love.
Did Hitler want a progressive new form of government or a regressive old one? A regressive old one akin to a monarchy with himself as king. That’s conservative. Hitler was so conservative and traditional that he didn’t even want liberal democracy or a parliament that could check him. Hitler wasn’t just too conservative for Marxism, he was too conservative for a republic. He wanted to roll things back to the days of Caesar.
Did Hitler love or hate revolutionaries? Hitler hated leftist revolutionaries and wanted them all killed. That’s conservative.
Did Hitler champion a leaping forward toward a new progressive future or turning backward towards a mythologized past? Hitler adored the mythologized German past. Make Germany Great Again.
Was Hitler more aligned with atheism or religion? Religion. Hitler staunchly criticized atheism and was favorable toward traditional Christian ideals. Hitler identified himself as a “German Christian”. Although Hitler had a complex and twisted relationship with Christianity, publicly Hitler aligned himself with Christianity to capture their votes because Christians are traditional and conservative — his ideal people. This is exactly what Trump did, what Putin did. They don’t need to be Christians, they just need conservative voters.
Did Hitler believe that all people are created equal? No! Hitler thought that his race was the best. That’s how conservatives think. Conservatives believe their tribe, their in-group is superior to all others.
Which political leaders did Hitler admire and emulate most? Mussolini, a far-right conservative fascist. Hitler allied himself with the Italian far right because they represented his values and vision the best.
Did Hitler want to flatten and eliminate hierarchy or increase it? Increase it to an absolute hierarchy, which is what conservatives love. Conservatives love a macho strongman leader. Conservatives love to be part of a hierarchy in which they earn their position through obedient duty, loyalty, and discipline.
Did Hitler want to champion and defend minorities? Did Hitler want to share power equally with minorities? No! He wanted to dominate and kill minorities. That’s what conservatives love. Conservatives consider minorities to be inferior to the majority.
Was Hitler pro-intellectual or anti-intellectual? Anti-intellectual. Hitler had many progressive intellectuals imprisoned or killed. Conservatives are consistently anti-intellectual because intellectuals are weird progressive freaks with radical and dangerous ideas that question tradition and subvert culture.
Were the Nazis culturally loose or strict? They were ultra strict. They discouraged the following activities: use of cosmetics, premarital sex, prostitution, pornography, sexual vices, smoking, excessive drinking. This is how conservatives behave. These are conservative traditional ideals.
Did Hitler and the Nazis dress is a loose hippie way to allow everyone to express their individuality and uniqueness? No! They dressed in strict crisp uniforms, with armbands and flags, as conservatives love to do.
Did Hitler speak out against cultural decay and social decadence? Of course he did. That’s what all conservatives do. Conservatives can’t stop whining about the moral decay of culture. Conservatives always complain how the men have turned into decadent pussies and fags.
Was Hitler for or against racial mixing? Against. Hitler was a racist. Ultra-conservatives are the biggest racists. Not all conservatives are racist but the biggest racists are all conservatives. This is not a coincidence.
Was Hitler feminist or patriarchal? Hardcore patriarchal, as all conservatives are. Did Hitler believe that men and women are equal? Of course not. Hitler said that women should stay at home and raise children and have no role in public or political life.
Did Hitler believe in a weak or strong military? Ultra strong. Did Hitler believe in being peaceful and diplomatic, or using military force and displays of strength? Displays of strength. This is what all conservatives love: military strength. Macho military patriot big dick energy.
Did Hitler and the Nazis support independent labor movements and unions? Of course not. Nazis squashed and killed unions, labor strikes, workers’ rights. That’s what all conservatives do. Conservatives want industry to hold power, not labor.
Was Hitler egalitarian or elitist? Hardcore elitist, as conservatives are. Conservatives do not want to spread power downward, they want to consolidate power into a strict hierarchy of class and status.
Did Hitler care about human rights and tolerance for those unlike himself? No! Conservatives do not care about human rights. Human rights for me, not for thee. Conservatives want to benefit and profit by taking human rights away from minorities, turning minorities into pawns.
How did Hitler gain power in the Wiemar Republic parliamentary system? By allying himself with other right-wing, conservative, traditional parties. Not with any of the left-wing liberal parties.
Did Hitler value compassion and empathy for all? Absolutely not. Conservatives don’t care about such things. Conservatives think that empathy is weak and gay. Conservatives value power and strength over compassion and compromise.
Today, are American neo-Nazis right or left, conservative or liberal? Which party do neo-Nazis vote for? Do neo-Nazis vote for Kamala Harris, Obama, Hilary Clinton?
Today, what kind of media do neo-Nazis consume? Left-wing media or right-wing media?
Today, who do neo-Nazis target for violence and mass shootings? Minorities: Jews, blacks, gays, trans, Asians, Latinos, feminists, hippies, liberals, intellectuals.

It’s an embarrassment to humanity that I have to sit down and write out this list because this should be common knowledge among all school children.

Why is this topic important?

Because, if one cannot get such a basic issue right, it demonstrates a profound misunderstanding of not only politics but the world. It means that one’s entire worldview has foundational errors. Whatever your worldview, it needs to account for Hitler — why someone like Hitler came to exist and how to avoid becoming like Hitler yourself. If your worldview cannot even identify whether Hitler was liberal or conservative, left or right, that means you don’t have enough education and self-awareness to avoid electing the next Hitler. It means that you cannot connect enough dots to see how right-wing conservative ideology and argument leads to Nazism, genocide, war, racism, sexism, eugenics, dictatorship, concentration camps, torture, criminality, sexual abuse, exploitation, corruption, assassination, slavery. What could be more fundamental in politics than that? Why should we take any of your political logic seriously?

And yes, as a leftist you’re also not immune from this problem. Your worldview must pass the Communist litmus test. Only if your worldview passes both the Nazi and Communist litmus tests can we even begin to take it seriously. Any political view that doesn’t pass these tests is garbage. That’s the point. You must be able to sit down and identify every flaw within Nazism and Communism based on first principles and explain how your political worldview avoids all their flaws. If you cannot do this your political opinions are not just worthless but lethal.

But then why did Hitler name his party the National Socialist (Nazi) party? Because he used the word socialist in a very different way than we use it today. To him socialist meant a national, traditional, collective. A collective in the way that the US military is a collective. Hitler would have said that the US military is a “socialist” organization which should be adopted as the model for the entire nation. “Socialism” here means a mono-cultural community, like a traditional Christian parish. Hitler would call a Christian community socialist, as opposed to individualist or libertarian because proper Christians must adhere to a strict set of orthodox rules and traditions. Contrary to what many American conservatives tell themselves today, conservatives actually love collectives. Conservatives want to be part of a hierarchical orthodox collective like the military, the CIA, the special forces, the police department, the fire department, the Catholic church, the court, a sports team, a corporation, a tribe, a large extended family, the mob, a biker gang, a militia, the Proud Boys, the Oathkeepers, the Masons, al Qaeda, Muslim Brotherhood, KKK, 4Chan, etc.

Hardcore conservatives are not individualist libertarians, they belong to collectives that uphold orthodox traditions. Libertarian conservatives are a recent modern development, it is not how conservatives usually operated. Libertarians are actually liberals. Hitler was too conservative to be a libertarian or individualist. Hardcore conservatives are collectivist not individualist. Think of Mormons, Quakers, Taliban, Vikings, KKK. These people are tribal and communal. That’s the Nazi ideal and why Hitler included “socialist” in his party’s name. You have to understand that people use words in eccentric ways across time. The meaning of words is not static nor monolithic. Hitler’s notion of socialist is not the same as Jordan Peterson’s, Ben Shapiro’s, Dennis Prager’s. Conservatives have a hard time understanding that concepts and categories can be this fluid and dynamic. Which is actually a lesson from post-modernism. Maybe if conservatives bothered to study post-modernism they wouldn’t make such silly errors.
