Adolph Hitler had many ideas of democracy and overall politics. He was a very intelligent and bright man. His concept of race, culture, and war are very interesting. He defends his ideas very strongly. Hitler did not agree with democracy and how it worked. Hitler felt that history proved that mere numbers of population would eventually prove to be insignificant. He believed that individuals operating in a democracy are not brought to their fullest potential due to the ultimatums and compromises (both in principle and practice) that commonly occur.
".democracy will in practice lead to the destruction of .
a people's true values. And this also serves to explain how .
it is that people with a great past from the time when .
they surrender themselves to the unlimited, democratic .
rule of the masses slowly lose their former position;.
for the outstanding achievements of individuals.
are now rendered practically ineffective through the.
oppression of mere numbers." Adolph Hitler.
Hitler wanted to dominate the masses rather then serve them. He had a lot of issues with democracy. There are many differences in people, which meant the idea of equality for all people is absurd. He acknowledged that people are all different, mentally, physically, culturally, and overall personally. This meant democracy couldn't really be successful because all men aren't created equal, it's a fact. He rejected the idea of equality for all people. I agree to an extent with what he is saying here. The bases of democracy lie in equality. However equality is a word not a reality. Our country had fought with itself over equality, and still today has not resolved this issue. What he doesn't acknowledge is the success democracy has seen despite this issue. .
Hitler says a large weakness of democracy is the fact that it is a system that leaves decisions to anonymous parties and therefore avoiding difficult decision. He thinks that by not having anyone stand up for and take responsibility for decisions, nothing can really get accomplished.
