Nazis

Many historians and scholars identify Nazis as far-right politicians for the sake of their political agenda. However, the ideology behind this following is based in fascism, anti-Semitism, anti-Capitalism, and the belief that a superior master race is necessary to ensure the success of a society. The Nazis believed that Aryans were superior to all other races, religions, and creeds, and deemed it necessary to do away with any 'inferiors' that compromised their ideologies or challenged their political agenda. Their targets included:

-Jews

-Romani, Polish, and other ethnic groups

-Homosexuals

-Jehovah's Witnesses

-Mentally and physically disabled

-Blacks and other races

The Nazis, in the 1920s, 30s, and 40s, were ruled by Adolf Hitler. First he was the leader of the Nazi Party, and eventually he developed a political agenda to rise to power and become the chancellor of Germany. Although there was a belief in socialism, it was a socialism of the 'racially sound' Aryan men to their country, not the typical socialist belief in equal rights and justice for the under-privileged or oppressed.

The Nazis were firm in their beliefs, and with a leader like Hitler on their side, it was easy for them to take over Germany, and then many other countries throughout Europe, implementing their 'cleansing' and doing away with anyone that did not meet their needs for the master race that they believed was necessary. This is known as the Holocaust, and involved the genocide of more than 11 million people over the course of 12 years, making it one of the largest cases of genocide in history and the largest in the 20^th century.

At first, the Nazi party was slightly disorganized, and began with simple things like discrimination and alienation of Jews and other inferiors from society. Over time, they developed more organization in their plan, created concentration camps, and started systematically murdering anyone who didn't meet their ideology of what the Master Race should be. The Nazis mostly disbanded after the demise of Adolf Hitler and his leading men, but there are still those that follow the ideology today. Anti-Semitists and self-proclaimed Nazis view Hitler as a martyr and still believe in the Aryan supremacy. They are spread around the world and have a variety of different ideals and views based in traditional Nazism. Many of these people are attempting to deny the Holocaust and claim that such an event never happened, regardless of the historical facts that showcase the largest genocide in the 20^th century.
