National Socialism, most commonly in English referred to as Nazism and occasionally known as
Hitlerism or
German Fascism, is a
totalitarian
ethno-ultranationalist
third positionist ideology. He believes that the
state and as an extension society should be directly tied to the
Volksgemeinschaft (tr. 'folk, people's community'), a 'national community' of sorts based on a shared blood, culture, and ancestry among a group of people.
