Analyze the similarities and the differences between single party rule in
|
|
Hitler's Germany and Stalin's Russia between 1933 and 1945. Answers should
|
|
consider: methods of dealing with opposition, control of media and
|
|
education, control of the economy, and war time planning.
|
|
|
|
Fascism as apposed to Communism
|
|
|
|
Why is it that Germany's fascism lasted a relatively short time
|
|
compared to Russia's communism? The regimes established under Hitler and
|
|
Stalin were incredibly similar with respect to the rise and control of the
|
|
state. Both systems were based on entirely different ideology and goals.
|
|
Hitler's Mein Kampf established the superiority of the German race and the
|
|
need to expand as wanted by God. Hitler wanted the world. The government in
|
|
Russia established by Lenin was based on a book called Communist Manifesto
|
|
by Karl Marx, a call to the proletariate to unite and rebel against their
|
|
selfish employers. It is my belief that Lenin had entirely good reasons for
|
|
doing as he did, and felt he was helping the world as apposed to Adolf
|
|
Hitler. Immediately after Lenin's death, a man very much the same in nature
|
|
as Hitler, Stalin, came to control the Bolsheviks and throw Russia in a
|
|
civil war in a quest for power. You now have two men of equal aspirations
|
|
soon to be in control of two very similar governments.
|
|
|
|
In any rise of power, there needs to be a period of careful planning
|
|
requiring much thought. These two men had very little history with which to
|
|
work with which to model their revolutions. Times had been changing
|
|
rapidly, technological improvements in the fields of manufacturing,
|
|
transportation, and communication made this period of time very different
|
|
from any other. Hitler spent his time imprison writing his book, Mein
|
|
Kampf, filling it full of warped ideas of conquest and superiority of one
|
|
race over another. I think it is strange that such works would go unnoticed
|
|
with nobody left to watch a man with such dangerous ideas. Lenin planned
|
|
his revolution while in exile in Switzerland. Then he made a deal with the
|
|
German government whereby he was hid on a train and passed through enemy
|
|
Germany to Russia. The conclusions with respect to methods of acquiring
|
|
power and controlling it when they did get it were very much the same.
|
|
|
|
Both rulers had full run of their respective governments. Stalin was
|
|
already dictator of Russia with his power and loyalty of the people
|
|
guaranteed by the secret police, the Cheka. This entity provided Stalin
|
|
with an easy means of destroying the opposition and weeding out the
|
|
undesirable to be sent to prison camps in Siberia, a virtual death
|
|
sentence. For Hitler to ascend to that level of power he rammed the
|
|
Enabling Act through the German Congress which gave him the power to enact
|
|
laws. Under Article 1 of his new power, Hitler decreed the only existing
|
|
party shall be the NSDAP. With Article 2 he declared all association of,
|
|
collaboration with, and support of other parties would result in
|
|
imprisonment in camps similar to Russia's labor camps. With Hitler's
|
|
Gestapo, secret police, he enforced those rules and used existing policies
|
|
to get rid of other unfit Germans. Political prisoners, homosexuals, Jews
|
|
and other people sent to the concentration camps were given different
|
|
colored symbols for easy identification. At this point, no one dared speak
|
|
against their country even in the privacy of one's home lest their children
|
|
let something slip at school.
|
|
|
|
If you control people's thoughts, you control them. Propaganda was an
|
|
important tool used by both Germany and Russia. Hitler appointed a man by
|
|
the name of Joseph Goebbles to head the Ministry of Public Enlightenment in
|
|
Germany. This man used newspapers, magazines, and radio to spread Nazism.
|
|
Even if a man bathed in thoughts of discontent at home, he was bombarded
|
|
with propaganda in public, and at the workplace. Banners hung from
|
|
building, posters on almost every sign or lamppost. Anyone with a
|
|
suspicious look on their face was first detained, and the sent to a prison
|
|
camp. It was no longer just desirable to be a Nazi considering the benefits
|
|
like government contracts or being able to stand first in line, but
|
|
necessary for employment. Russia employed much the same tactics with much
|
|
more emphasis on fear.
|
|
|
|
Education was virtually unheard of in the early years of Russia, but
|
|
by 1933 children were guaranteed primary education. Huge problems resulted
|
|
form the ignorance and illiteracy, workers usually did not intentionally
|
|
break machines but did not know how to use them. In official reports the
|
|
reason for failure was terrorism by the Kulaks, rich peasants persecuted in
|
|
the same way Germany's Jews. German education was geared toward physical
|
|
aspects and the fathering of children. Membership to the German Youth for
|
|
boys was compulsory by 1936. Emphasis was placed on physical fitness and
|
|
team sports in these youth groups. Outstanding youths went to Adolf Hitler
|
|
schools for secondary education, and Order Castles for future party
|
|
leaders.
|
|
|
|
Control of the economy and war time planning was a must for both
|
|
nations. A story likened to the fact that with Communism you must give your
|
|
cows to the government and they give you milk back. With fascism, you got
|
|
to keep your cows and gave the milk to the government. Both systems were
|
|
command economies and state controlled. Contingency plans were constantly
|
|
drawn up and updated to fit new circumstances. Both nations were preparing
|
|
for war. Germany was going to rule the world, Russia only wanted to defend
|
|
herself from Capitalism.
|
|
|
|
The resulting governments evolving from the two different systems of
|
|
thought were very similar. But as one can see, the aspirations were
|
|
radically different. Hitler was a threat to everyone and needed to be dealt
|
|
with. Russia kept to themselves and bothered no one. A Cold War ensued with
|
|
Russia complete with the irrational fear of Communism, McCarthyism, and a
|
|
peace time build up of weapons followed. Germany was crushed in battle and
|
|
Russia's Iron Curtain is being pulled down as I write.
