[edit] Why the "Socialist" Reich Party Isn't Socialist

I think that the editor of this article should identify the fact that even though the "Socialist" Reich Party CALLS itself a "Socialist" party that no other people who regard themselves Socialists (whether Marxist, Anarchist, Social Democrat or otherwise) would recognize the "Socialist" Reich party as being Socialist. In fact, Fascism is a defence mechanism of CAPITALISM that it reverts to when it is both a) in serious decline and b) it is facing some kind of threat. A Capitalist State is a state where the bourgeoisie is the ruling class (meaning they own the 'means of production' and they hold state power). In Nazi Germany the Bourgeoisie were still the ruling class so therefore it is still Capitalist. User:Leon Trotsky 16:17, 12 August, 2005

Your analysis is clearly a Marxist one and therefore not NPOV. Ii's clear from the article that it was a neo-Nazi party. - Johnbull 14:52, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Something is wrong

"According to Martin Lee, in The Beast Reawakens, the SRP never openly criticised the Soviet Union[4] because the Soviet Union funded the SRP as it held anti-American and pro-Soviet views. The German Communist Party, on the other hand, did not receive Soviet funds, because it was viewed as "ineffectual"[5]." the SRP was banned 1952, the German Communist Party was founded in 1968, so this sentence doesn't make sense. Could it be that the Communist Party of Germany (forbidden in 1956) was meant?

Yes, this is obviously a quetion of confused semantics.--Dudeman5685 01:07, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
