National Socialism
Third Reich doctrine
National Socialism is the ideology of the Nazi Party that ruled Germany from 1933 to 1945 under Adolf Hitler.
It combined extreme nationalism, racial antisemitism, and totalitarian government with rejection of both liberal democracy and Marxism.
The Nazis held that an Aryan master race was destined to dominate, justifying genocide against Jews and others deemed inferior.
The term is sometimes invoked loosely as an epithet for authoritarian or racist politics: She called the new immigration policy National Socialism with a friendly face.
