German Political Platforms

The communist party platform abolished private property, established land reform programs to distribute it fairly for the common good, gave ownership to government of all industrial operations to benefit the general public, and had a foreign policy that allied with the Soviet Union against capitalism.

On the other hand, the Nazi platform party was very different than that of the communists. It was a union of all Germans to form Germany on the basis of the right to self-determination of peoples. It also abolished the Treaty of Versailles. Only German born non-Jewish residents in Germany were the only ones allowed for citizenship. Non-citizens could only live in Germany as immigrants, subject to the law of aliens. German citizens were the only ones allowed to vote or run for public office. The state insures that German citizens should live comfortably with the availability of food, but if not, then aliens must be forced out of the country. Immigration wasn’t allowed after August 2, 1914. Education was reformed, and the science of citizenship was taught from the beginning of school. The newspapers were to be published by only German citizens and owners in the German language.

The Social Democratic party supported freedom, democracy, and justice. It honored all political and financial obligations in order to keep Germany and upstanding country with honor and respect. It created more jobs from public works, and it provided unemployment compensation for up to six months. It also cut government expenditures to lower taxes. Finally, it believed in the right of those who disagree with the party to speak and write on those issues without interference.

The communist party was run by the government for all the people living on German soil including Jews and other foreigners, whereas, the Nazi party was run by the government for the government in the sense that it only favored German born citizens which only promoted German superiority. The Social democratic party is similar to communism, but it gave more beneficial privileges and rights to the public which grants their citizens a liberal state. Communism and socialism accepted non-Germans as citizens of the state, but Nazism rejected this kind of harmony in society.
