ABSTRACT
Nazism will only finally be conquered when the whole social system which it produced is not only broken up but replaced by a better one which makes a stronger appeal to the people who live in it. One of the first steps towards making such a system is to realise that Nazism did appeal to Nazis. A new system of social ideas, such as those of Nazism, does not have much chance to be taken up and put into practice unless people are suffering more than usually from the stresses and strains of life. Nazism was another movement whose adherents, at any rate at the beginning, felt they were playing a part in a movement which would change the course of history. From the point of view of the ordinary man, the Fascist-Nazi regimes, and the Communist regime, are two experiments in building social systems founded on organised totalitarian economics but with explicitly stated social aims which are completely different.
