ABSTRACT
The tendency to treat "Fascism" as a bulwark against Communism has too often blinded the people to the fact that Nazism is radically revolutionary. Indeed, in many respects, it is the most radical movement which has appeared since the Middle Ages. Such a movement does not, in the nature of the case, retain a constant character over a long period but goes through a more or less definite course of development. The Nazi movement seems to differ from all others in a variety of ways. First, the range of established institutions which it attacks is extraordinarily wide. Secondly, in making their onslaughts, the Nazis have, because of the special character of their movement employed organized propaganda, deceit, fraud and physical violence to crush all opposition. The internal stage of the movement's progress in Germany has been virtually complete for some time, and has spread with almost redoubled violence to the sphere of international relations.
