[Germany] Heil to the Führer

[Retroliser]

Stein wandered over to the window to look out of it.

"The issue with Hitler's methods was that they made it abundantly clear to the people being enslaved that they were being enslaved. We rounded them up, we herded them into ghettos, we forced them into concentration and labour camps. They knew in their hearts and minds that they were being mistreated. Unfortunately, this isn't The Middle Ages. The concept of equal rights for all of mankind is universally accepted. As such, it is necessary that we instead employ more subtle means to control the untermensch," He explained. "Instead of emulating Hitler to a tee, we must examine the mistakes he made, and consider new, modern solutions to the same problem... With the hindsight and experience The First Fuhrer gained. He died, so that we could have a better chance at succeeding.

As for enslaving the untermensch, it must be done in a manner so subtle that they never suspect they are slaves. Instead, they will become willing participants."

"But how?" Wolfgang asked, looking to the portrait of Hitler as he did, "That is what I am asking you. You already told me that it would have to be a more subtle means of control...what is it that you propose in order to create willing participants out of the Untermensch?"

 

[Retroliser]

"We make them symbolic equals," August suggested. "They knew they were slaves, because we stripped them of the one thing that makes them believe they're free.... Their liberty. A Jew going about their business in Germany is more useful to us than a Jew outside The Reich, or enslaved. By including untermensch in the party as 'Geschwister des Denkens', Siblings Of Thought, we can portray ourselves as inclusive, by demonstrating that yes, we value aryan blood, but we also value faith and loyalty. One could describe it as an 'inclusive exclusive'. For example, The Nuremberg Laws prohibited untermensch from having relations with aryans. Why not achieve the same goal by framing the law under a different motive?

We protect the 'diversity' of untermensch by prohibiting aryans from defiling the negroid, slavic, jewish races. We protect aryan-kind, while also portraying ourselves as progressive social justice warriors, a stance that many in politics find attractive. We look good in public, we achieve our aim of racial purity, and we have a valid, and mainstream, reason for our actions."

"You see...there is another thought that also comes to mind regarding the Untermenschen...while the Negroids will always be Untermensch...I have had my doubts on the Slavs and, to an extent, the Jews. I ask you, not as your Party Leader, but demand as your Führer to consider this plausibility...why did we lose the 2nd World War to what were considered Untermenschen? Was it not our destiny to conquer the Untermenschen, and drive them from our Fatherland? I firmly believe that the Slavs and the Jews were unfortunate victims of something far more sinister...far more...pervasive, and just as potent as what you have suggested, and subtle in its attempts to puppet entire races against each other: the Bolsheviks, and Bolshevism, have always been the enemy...the Führer himself said that Bolshevism was the enemy, but he failed to take into account biological facts about the Slavic and Jewish races...when I was Hertzberg's Deputy-Führer, he proposed the same concept to me: the Jews are not Untermensch, but a race like the Britons that have been corrupted by Bolshevism...the Russians, the Slavs, were not animals...but controlled by the untamed animal of Bolshevism...and now, look at what has happened to the world...Communist states, springing up from the ground like blooming roses...they may smell sickeningly sweet, but they are toxic, and in need of purging...and no one race is more undesirable than the French, as is my personal belief...they have sought our destruction since the first day that Prussians walked this Earth, and even beyond...they have sought what the Aryans have had...Hitler, blessed be his soul, was right about a many great things, but he was also wrong...in his hatred of Slavs, and the Jews who stole our livelihoods, he failed to consider that the Slavs, who, in retrospect, can be seen as fellow Aryan brothers, were naught but victims of the same, oppressive regimes that now sprout from the ground, like flies from a maggot-infested corpse."

"Such a concept flies in the face of everything Hitler ever believed," Stein murmured. "The all pervasive idea of The Jew being... The creator of Bolshevism. Was it not a Jew, Karl Marx, who created the malignant ideas that still persist to this day? As for The Slavs, it is entirely possible that they have been manipulated by The Jews into becoming pawns, allowing the weaker, but more intelligent, jews to use the Slavic peoples as willing cannon fodder. This point of view must be true... 30 years before the war, Russia was a monarchist empire. It, along with the other European powers, was badly mauled by our aryan ancestors. They were rightly cowed into submission, and we celebrated victory over them at The Treaty Of Brest-Litovsk. However, that peace came at a price. While it allowed us the opportunity to face The French, the government at the time had let free a virus that would return to crush us in the second great war... Communism, with Lenin as the vector used to spread the disease.

30 years on, the scars of the war had run so deep that France and Britain were willing to allow Hitler vast swathes of territory, and ignorance of The Treaty Of Versailles, because they knew that a war with The Master Race would mean they would have to bury millions more of their kind. However, we had allowed Bolshevism to incubate within Russia. It had moulded them into a horde more vast than The Mongols, and completely subservient to The Jewish-Bolshevist Cancer. It was inevitable for us to fight The Soviet Union. Unfortunately, we were not ready. The First Fuhrer had overestimated the extent of the damage The Great War had done to Britain and France. The result being our slow and painful downfall.

This time, we will not fail. We shall learn from the past, be inspired by Hitler's mistakes, and... If we are patient and thorough... Eventually surpass him."

"Marx did away with his Judaic ways by creating Bolshevism. He wished for a society to be classless, without hierarchy, without structure or order. The Jewish faith is one built around such concepts. I do not doubt that he was a Jew, but he was tempted by something greater than his religion: a snake in the Garden of Eden, as it were," Shröder retorted, his voice deadly serious, but his tone calm, "It may fly in the face of everything Adolf may have ever believed, but the Führer is still prone to mistakes...he, like Hertzberg, like me, and like every Aryan on this Earth, are not gods...we are men. The Aryans may be the best among Men, but we are still Men, nonetheless."

"August...you may be the perfect Aryan, a true follower of National Socialism, but we must also admit when we were wrong. Hertzberg and I had seen what was inside Pandora's Box... The Jewish people themselves were manipulated by one of their own, who opened Pandora's Box. The Russian people themselves, almost swallowed by the dark shadow that laid dormant within it. The box is open again, and it is spreading its plague across the world. France, Ireland, the Americas...they are all beginning to fall to variations of this sick, twisted poison that corrupts the minds of Men." Wolfgang turned back to the portrait of Adolf Hitler.

"Our Führer was a man of many things, and he was right about a great many things...but as I said before...he was a man, and men can be wrong...the only way we can truly fix those mistakes that our Führer had made, is realizing where he was wrong...the Slavs are not subhumans, but fellow Aryans, who were corrupted by Bolshevism...the Jews were not useless eaters, but one of many servants to the Aryans, corrupted by the chaos of Bolshevism...we fought the wrong enemy in both Great Wars, and we nearly paid the price for it in the end...we nearly fell to Bolshevism as well...the East, and the West of Germany...divided for nearly 50 years."

"Your premise relies on Communism being a naturally occurring disease, mein Fuhrer," August replied. "It's not though. It's an idea crafted with human thought. No, Marx didn't open the box, he made it.

It was Lenin who opened it in Russia, where it has spread. I maintain that Hitler's claim that The Jew is the single greatest threat is correct.

However his methods were flawed. Bolshevism is an artificial construct, it's an idea. That's why the decision to destroy The Untermensch was ludicrous. This isn't a disease you can eradicate by slaughtering the afflicted. It is an idea that must be suppressed by those who are enlightened enough to recognise its toxic properties. We must control the untermensch, because slaughtering them will not work."

"August...I agree that we must suppress these toxic ideologies need to be suppressed, by those with the will to act," Shröder sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose as he did, "That was never an argument. It is something I agree with. You may not need to understand why, but only to do as told by your Führer. The Jew is not the enemy. It never was...it was always Bolshevism, not necessarily Communism, but any ideology that calls for violence against the State in the first place. Anarchism, Syndicalism, Leninism and, most dangerous of all, National Bolshevism...Stalinism and Maoism." the Führer then stood from his desk and looked Stein in the eyes, mentally begging himself that Stein would back down from the idea of the Jew being the enemy.

"These are the enemies of not only National Socialism, but of humanity: violence against the state, against people and order, for the sake of some inachievable dream: a stateless world, without hierarchy or race. If we cannot destroy the brainwashed of Bolshevism of any kind, then we will liberate them. The East Asians are cowards, race-traitors, and liars, corrupted by the allure of National Bolshevism! The Italians, liars and traitors to us two wars in a row! And the French and Irish...they deserve nothing but a quick, swift death at our hands, for not only reopening Bolshevism's Box in Europe, but, in the case of the French, for having been after Germany, and German lands, since the beginning. Do I make myself clear?!" Shröder slammed a hand on the desk to make his point clear, his frustration rather evident.

"I do not waver in my conviction to Adolf Hitler, but I will remind you that he is a man...he can be wrong. I could be wrong about this, and instead, it may have been the Jews...but the way that Hertzberg and I have seen it, the way that your Führer sees it now, Bolshevism is the enemy: the far Left is the enemy . It may not make sense now, but it will in due time, and we will all see where Adolf, blessed be his name, had made the mistake of assuming the Jews were ever an enemy. They are not...they are not the superior or equals to Aryans...but they are, indeed, not the enemy, or the single greatest threat to humanity."

Stein crossed his arms and chewed his lower lip in concentration, the metaphorical gears of his mind processing the rephrased proposition posed by The Fuhrer.

"You're right," He mused. "With the progenitors of Communism dead, such as Marx and Engels, the disease has already been released. The sins of the father should not be used to punish the son.

At this point, the idea has become self-perpetuating. It no longer needs intervention, such as violent revolution or foreign subversion to be spread. Take France, for example, The Reds materialised of their own volition, not as a result of foreign agitation. The racial boundary has been overwhelmed, every human is a potential Bolshevik."

"Which is why we must act, and with haste. The SPD holds the majority of seats in both local all of the local parliaments, and have become a part of the government coalition in the Reichstag. Such a thing concerns me greatly...if they win the next election, they could jeopardize the Aryan bloodlines with Bolshevism...we need to win at both the local and the federal level, so that the Kaiser does not fall into the Great Trap." Shröder looked at Stein with intent in his eyes.

"I want you to turn this party of boys into a party of men. I would do so myself, but I have a duty to the Reichstag to uphold, and to ensure that the SPD doesn't garner more support."

 

[Retroliser]

@NagandEmerald
"Jawohl, mein Fuhrer!" He replied eagerly. "I will start immediately, if I have your permission, and blessing, to do everything necessary to achieve your objective!"

 

[NagandEmerald]

@Retroliser

Seeing Stein's eagerness, he gave a smile and a pat on the boy's shoulder.

"You have my permission, my blessing, my order, and my confidence. You will do what is necessary to turn these boys into men, and to help achieve my goal with this party." After saying this, Shröder stepped out into the main office, where his followers were still waiting.

"My National Comrades! You still disgrace me and my party...however, you have the potential to prove yourselves worthy of wearing those armbands. Seek my teachings from Herr Stein! Seek to better yourselves for the Party, for me, and for Deutschland! I want each and every one of you to be a picture of health, or to not bother becoming politicians! You will lead the charge of the National Socialist German Workers Party into the state parliaments, the Reichstag, and, eventually, the whole of the Fatherland!" Shröder looked around at the faces before him, seeing men who now looked to him with a newfound pride and patriotism.

"Follow this creed; the Untermensch do not deserve destruction, they deserve protection. They are our inferiors, but to keep our purity...to keep our purity, we must allow the sub-humans to live, and to protect their own cultures, and subtly change them to serve the Aryans; even the Untermenschen have their uses to the Reich! The Untermensch are not the enemy, Bolshevism is the enemy, and those who have given themselves of mind, body, and spirit to purvey its sick, twisted, cancerous ideals are the enemy as well! The Jews were not puppeteers or creators of Bolshevism, but victims of such disease; Karl Marx himself was a Jew, who desired order, hierarchy, and had a sense of state, but he allowed himself to fall into the Great Trap! The Slavs were never inferior Untermenschen, but Aryans themselves manipulated by such impure thoughts! It transcends race itself, and into ideologies; anyone can become a Bolshevik, and it is our responsibility to destroy Bolshevism and liberate those it corrupts! Finally, remember that we are not gods, but Men! We are the strongest, the fastest, the most powerful among Men; we are the Master Race, but Men all the same! It is our duty to protect our fellow Men, and the animals which serve such Men!" the crowd stood in silence as Shröder paused, his eyes darting across the room to read the faces of his followers.

"There is but one race who threatens us all, who has vied after the Fatherland and its resources, its peoples, since time immemorial. They are less than the Untermenschen! They are the Useless Eaters: the French! It was France under Napoleon who carved up our realms, and made us weak! It was French ambitions that drove the Reich to build itself up in defiance! It was the Vichy French who betrayed us, along with the Venetian Untermenschen of Italy! But what differentiates an Italian from a Frenchman? A Frenchman will not hesitate to kill you, and take your land from you...they are the single greatest threat to European hegemony, and to German security alongside Bolshevism! I will not tolerate weak men and women who do not believe such a creed: Protect those who cannot protect themselves, eradicate the Great Plague of Bolshevism, and seek vengeance against our aggressors, who have vied after us for so long! August Stein, a pure Aryan, believes in such ideals! What of you?! Do you Heil with him? Or are you uncertain, cowardly, weak, and have no will to act upon these truths?!"

"I will follow you, Mein Führer!" one of them yelled from the crowd, extending his arm to neck height and pointing it to Shröder.

"You have my loyalty!" a woman in the back yelled, doing the same. Many began to follow her example, making arguments against Shröder calling them weak and uncertain, with no willpower to act upon the truth that he spoke to them. As soon as they pointed their arms to him, he Heiled in return.

"I am but a man, but I am the Führer of those who seek to believe in this creed! Clean yourselves up, bring yourselves to August Stein's level! Make yourselves proud to be German, to be Aryan, to be Men! Obey your Führer without question, obey his creed, and you will live to see the Thousand Year Reich brought up from the ashes!"

"Jawohl!" the group barked in unison. Shröder turned to Stein and gestured to him.

"This is the man who will teach you more of my creed! This is the man who will bring you to his standard! This is the man who will make you into Politicians of the Aryan People!"

"Jawohl!" they all barked again, directing their Heil to either Shröder or Stein now.

"Now, while I may leave you here, to initiate those who are willing, and to win the local people over, expect that I will not cower in the shadows any longer! I will proudly display myself in the NPD as a National Socialist, and I will convince others at the Federal level that my creed is good! That it can become a reality, if we all work for the Greater Good!" Shröder waited for a moment as he surveyed the room. Dedicated men and women, he saw now, and he saw it fit to ensure that they were dedicated to the current Führer, not the Men of yesteryear.

"Heil Shröder," he calmly stated, Heiling the crowd in return as he started walking towards the door.

"Heil Shröder!" the collective parroted back. As Shröder walked to his car, he didn't bother to remove any of his paraphernalia that denoted him as a National Socialist. When he returned to Berlin, he needed people in the NPD to see him for who he truly was, and he needed to see if there were others like him.
