Joseph Mattera may not have his facts totally accurate, but he 100% accurate as to Nazism/Fascism is closer to socialism than to the Conservative principles of the Christian Right which is far closer to Capitalism. Capitalism in the Christian sense is a good work ethic not for personal gain (secular view) but rather to prosper in order to further the Kingdom of God on Earth and humanity.
Nazism, Fascism, Communism and Socialism are all ideologies in which the State controls and manipulates the standards of individual lives as the State perceives it.

Why Hitler’s Beliefs Resonate Today

One of the things that agitates me most when I read the newspaper is when someone equates Nazism with Conservatism and so-called right-wing Christianity.
The liberal media elites have successfully brainwashed the American public in such a way that they have constructed a view of Hitler that is quite the opposite of reality!
First of all, we need to understand that the term Nazism means National Socialism. (For example, the USSR stood for the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics).
If anything, Hitler, Nazism, and Fascism more closely resemble present day left-wing liberals than those who espouse a conservative political view.
Furthermore, when you read the writings of Karl Marx and his book The Communist Manifesto, you find that the modern day liberal intellects in universities and our liberal elected officials are more dedicated to the ideals of Communism and Karl Marx than to the ideals that made our nation great!
First of all, let’s paint a true picture of Fascism.
The socialistic ideals of Fascism are harder to detect, because within its system the state allows private ownership, but with many burdensome rules, regulations and laws that essentially control every aspect of the decision making process of the alleged private owners.
I tell folks all the time that the United States is more closely related to both Socialism and Fascism than to Capitalism because the immense size of our state, city and federal governments interferes, intervenes and regulates every aspect of life. This contradicts the vision the Founding Fathers had of a small government that was by the people and for the people, whose main objective was to ensure every citizen the unalienable rights given to us by our Creator (note the Declaration of Independence).
If you don’t believe what I am saying, just refuse to pay your property taxes. Then you will find out who really owns your house. (Property taxes are so high in some regions, it is akin to paying another mortgage–only this time we are paying rent to the state!)
Involved with Hitler’s Fascism were:
-Strict gun control laws. German citizens, especially every politically incorrect German citizen, had their guns confiscated.
-Legalized euthanasia and abortion.
-State controlled education and indoctrination of children, including the rewriting of German history.
-Acceptance of homosexuality as part of their manhood. Some believe this was one reason why they killed Bible-believing Christians and Jews; their tenets contradicted the homosexual lifestyle, though effeminate homosexuals were also executed because it belittled their Arian manhood.
-Rules, regulations and high taxes interwoven with private property and business.
-A progressive income tax.
Does this all sound familiar?
Are these ideals more closely related to Communism and its kissing cousin Socialism or to moral and political conservatives?
One of the biggest tragedies in the past 150 years has been the “dumbing down” of Christianity and of our young.
Marx, Lenin, Hitler and others had to rewrite history and deemphasize the Christian influence as part of their plan to control the masses.
Our nation has been in moral decline primarily because we as Christians have been taught to throw our brains out the window and only think about the next life!
Instead of starting schools like Harvard, Yale, Columbia and Princeton (which all originally existed for the express purpose of training Christians to lead in every realm of society with a biblical world and life view), we tend to isolate and separate our spiritual meeting place from the marketplace, and speak of doctrine, theology and anything intellectual as if it were unspiritual and anti-Christian. This is the very opposite of what is necessary to disciple the nations and be salt and light to the world!
I believe churches need to start having altar calls in our services for young people to become educators, economists, lawyers, doctors, judges, community and civic leaders, not just missionaries and preachers!
We need to teach the truth about America’s Christian history, and Christianity’s influence on our nation’s founding documents, such as the Mayflower Compact, the Declaration of Independence, and even the U.S. Constitution.
If all we are concerned about as Christian leaders is having an anointed Sunday service, and do nothing to raise up the next generation to engage the culture in the battle of ideas, then one day we won’t even have the right to have our anointed services!
As Hitler continued to increase in power until he controlled every aspect of life for every citizen, we are presently witnessing the liberal elite change the history books, do away with biblical law, attempt to remove every vestige of Christianity from public view, and transition our nation from a republic (the people electing representatives to rule for them) to an oligarchy (the government is made up of a handful of ruling elite; e.g. how the Supreme Court and the judiciary presently function in this country).
Ignorance is not a blessing; it is not bliss, nor benign. It is a curse and its passivity has been responsible for the shed blood of millions, born and unborn!
A few years ago the Lord showed me that it is time for me to come out of hiding and to impact both the church and society with the Gospel of the Kingdom of God.
Thousands of other saints are hearing the same call!
Join this powerful movement and as we proactively move forward, the gates of hell will not prevail against the church!
Together, we are unstoppable!
