Adolf Hitler Was a Communist in 1919: Confused Beginnings!

Our Marxist-run colleges can’t handle the truth and constantly say Hitler was right-wing. Let’s explore the reality instead of their propaganda. Before Der Führer’s rise to power in creating a totalitarian state similar to Stalin’s, there was a time in Adolf Hitler’s life when his views contradicted the ideologies professors say he later embraced (identical to communism).

“I am a socialist,” “We are socialists” – Adolph Hitler

Educated historians KNOW that he was a communist during World War I, siding with the Bavarian Soviet regime, while others (mainly Marxist academics) describe him as an opportunist searching for his true calling. Here, we will simplify the explanations from both sides to reveal the untold story of his early ideology. I have included this well-researched video to dispel your brainwashing.

From Chaos to Control: The Führer’s Uncertain Path to a Totalitarian Nazi Germany State

Before joining the National Socialist Party in 1919, Hitler’s political run didn’t seem to have a direction, say the leftists. It was confusing and disorienting at best. In the book Hitler’s First War by Thomas Weber (a leftist “historian”), the author explains how the leader’s socialist agenda differed significantly from the realities on the ground (but his book is full of contradictions and half-truths, basically pro-Marxist propaganda).

Weber correctly states that if Hitler were hyper-nationalist or anti-Semite and cooperated with the regime to steer young Germans away from communism, he would’ve joined the many right-wing youths and done what they were doing in the country or become part of the Freikorps, secret paramilitary volunteer units.

Like his colleagues, Hitler could’ve resigned from his post then, but he didn’t. Nor did he do anything to overthrow the Weimar Republic regime in 1919. What many people fail to understand is that if Hitler was hiding his true colors, why didn’t the other men in his unit make statements about it later on? You won’t find the Führer bragging about this in his book Mein Kampf.

They claim young Hitler was likely confused at the time. He hadn’t learned about anti-Semitism and how it could be used as a political tool to gain leverage over others and steer the destiny of Germany on a path of his choosing. But in reality, he blamed Jews for ruining his communist party, as will be discussed.

After serving 2,050 days in the German Army, Hitler was formally discharged on March 13, 1920. Marxist professors claim this “freedom” gave him enough time to focus on the Nazi Party and political thinking (national socialism), creating policies that would arise from his contradictory impulses.

Hitler Was a Communist in 1919? Here Are the Facts!

In 1917, a German politician, Kurt Eisner, a Jew, joined the Social Democratic Party of Germany when the First World War peaked before being convicted of treason in 1918. After spending nine months in Stadelheim Prison, he was released in October that same year, starting a series of events that would topple the monarchy in Bavaria.

Eisner wanted independence and attempted to reform the capitalist system into a social one. He created the Bavarian Soviet Republic (BSR) during the German Revolution and led the state until his assassination in February 1919.

During this time, Hitler was elected as “Deputy Battalion Representative” and was voted by his fellow soldiers, meaning he best represented their COMMUNIST views.

However, the Bavarian socialist regime quickly became unpopular among the German people, as it had failed to maintain food supplies, provide jobs, or keep the transportation system functioning. Slowly, voices against Eisner emerged, mocking the German politician and his policies.

As hatred for the Bavarian leader spread across the country, Anton Graf Arco-Valley, an officer close to conservative right-wing circles, assassinated Kurt Eisner in 1919, right when he was on his way to resign. He had a huge funeral, and among the thousands of attendants, one that stood out the most was Adolf Hitler.

Surviving footage of the event shows Hitler marching in the funeral procession with a black and red armband, the former to symbolize mourning and the latter representing his support for the socialist revolution in Munich.

Now, the shocking fact revolving around this story is that Kurt Eisner was Jewish. It’s challenging to ascertain whether Hitler was truly supporting the Soviet Republic or whether he was taking an opportunity not to return to his impoverished civilian life before the war. In other words, Hitler was not anti-Jewish. He only became anti-Jewish when he concluded the Jewish leadership of the German communist party was ineffective in trying to make Germany a satellite of Russian Communism. Hence, as discussed, Hitler later wanted German national communism.

What’s even more interesting is that in Hitler’s biography, Mein Kampf mentions that a few days after the liberation of Munich, he was requested to appear before the Inquiry Commission, which started his political movements.

However, this was a lie, as he had been involved with the Bavarian COMMUNISTS and was a political representative, meaning he was already in politics. Instead of leaving Munich, Hitler took part in the so-called Jewish revolution, supporting Eisner even until the very end. College professors hate this truth.

Hitler Becomes a Member of the Communist Party in the Soviet Republic

After Eisner’s fall, Max Levien, a German-Russian communist politician and co-founder of the Communist Party of Germany, attempted to establish a Soviet-style system in Bavaria. Under his leadership, a new government elected Hitler as the representative for his battalion, making him a member of the Communist Soviet government with ties to Moscow.

“I am a socialist,” “We are socialists.” – Adolph Hitler

During this brief period, Hitler not only supported the communist regime but also pledged his loyalty to a government that had allegiance with Lenin’s Soviet Russia. Like the Bavarian Soviet Republic, this government was also unpopular, as the communists decided not to help people experiencing poverty despite their ideology.

When food shortages heightened, people started to voice their concerns, demanding that the Soviets feed them. Sadly, the government’s response wasn’t what they expected.

“What does it matter? … Most of it goes to the children of the bourgeoisie anyway. We are not interested in keeping them alive. No harm if they die – they’d only grow into enemies of the proletariat.” – A BSR Government Representative

On April 27, 1919, Leviné’s committee resigned and reelected the Toller government to take charge of the Bavarian Soviet Republic. At the same time, the rival government, Hoffmann’s People’s State of Bavaria (seated in Bamberg), marched with 8,000 troops to take control of the region.

The two governments fought, but the 30,000 soldiers of the BSR army were too much for Hoffman and his supporters. He quickly made a deal with Lt. General Burghard von Oven, who lent him 20,000 Freikorps members, sealing the city’s fate. BSR fell, as more than 600 people lost their lives, and Leviné was arrested and shot by a firing squad.

Many historians continue to state that Hitler wasn’t a communist. Let’s consider that assumption for a bit. After reading all of the information about his political involvement in BSR, if Hitler was counterrevolutionary and hated the Jews, how come he was friendly with his colleagues, who were mostly Jews?

Even Weber doesn’t provide examples of antisocialist expressions that Hitler supposedly said, so we can’t be sure whether they were antisocialists or just the usual disputes within the socialist camp.

Hitler Turns to a Strong Resolve to Create a Nationalist (Communist) Government

After the regime ended in BSR, the newly elected government recruited Hitler for a post in the military administration’s information office. He would spy on people and political gatherings to identify those who threatened Bavarian authorities.

Hitler excelled in his training and soon became an instructor for the Reichswehr (German Armed Forces). He stood out as an effective communicator. The Military’s commander, Captain Karl Mayr, impressed with Hitler, asked him to elaborate on his views on Jews.

We know how hand-in-hand the soon-to-become Nazi leader was with the Jews in 1919. This time, his response was quite the opposite. He characterized them as a disease that needs to be removed from Germany.

On September 12, 1919, Hitler denounced a speech favoring Bavarian separatism. A few months later, he joined Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (DAP), which later changed to the National Socialist German Workers’ Party (NSDAP).

Once officially discharged from the German Army in 1920, he quickly rose through the ranks of the German Workers’ Party. By 1921, he became an absolute Führer (leader) of the NSDAP, further excelling his political movements. This eventually led to the Beer Hall Putsch and his arrest before he soon became a chancellor, assuming the powers of the presidency and leading the German nation on a newly set course against the Jews.

Historians argue that Hitler was an opportunist, which led others to believe he was a communist due to his unwavering support for the BSR regime in 1919. However, he could have easily revolted like the Freikorps and right-wing youth. Perhaps he was confused before branding himself as a German nationalist after Leviné’s fall.

Hitler Wasn’t a Communist. Another Interesting Interpretation of the Facts!

Far-left fact-checkers like Snopes use opinion-based “fact checks” to “prove” Hitler was not a communist. Some videos on the internet provide “facts” about how Hitler associated himself with the German communists. However, these portray the postwar period as incredibly simplistic when the reality Germans and Hitler faced was far more complex.

When Hitler’s colleagues chose him as a Deputy Battalion Representative in the elections, it is possible that he would’ve spoken in favor of the views of the socialist governments among his ranks. This would’ve garnered support from other soldiers.

Weber’s (a hard-core academic Marxist) book paints a poor picture, trying to convince readers that Hitler was an opportunist and not a communist by interpreting fragments of information or evidence. At best, according to Weber, he may have flirted with various left-wing politics and political parties in Bavaria but was far from an active participant.

Historians like Ian Kershaw and Volker Ulrich argue that Hitler may have formed his Weltanschauung when he was young, and the war acted as a catalyst for his preexisting ideas of nationalism, anti-Semitism, militarism, and hatred of Russian or Jewish socialists.

Adolf Hitler never kept a diary or recorded his internal thoughts. The sliver of evidence is skinny, meaning it can be used to tell either side of the story.

Hitler and the Emergence of Anti-Semite Views

Hitler hated “Jewish communism” and was not the father of anti-Semitism. We wanted his own version of German communism. Although he may have hated the Jews later after his bad experience with Marxists, this type of discrimination and prejudice existed long before he began his political movements.

During the nineteenth century, Jews faced persecution across much of Europe for religious reasons. However, religion played a minimal role in shaping public perspectives in Germany. Politicians would use the “race” card to rally the people and achieve their agendas.

The German people were against the Jews not because they were not Christian but because the Jews were of a different “bloodline.” To the locals, they were an unacceptable race that had infiltrated the country.

In his book Mein Kampf, Hitler writes that he became an anti-Semite due to the long personal struggle he experienced throughout his life. Perhaps his aversion to everything Jewish gradually began during his time as a painter in Vienna (1908-1913). This seems highly unlikely, as Samuel Morgenstern, a Jew, was his most loyal buyer.

Historians provide differing explanations for the reasons behind Hitler’s anti-Semitism. Some say he hated the Jews due to trauma from a poison gas attack during World War I, while others argue that he contracted a venereal disease from a Jewish prostitute. There is no evidence to support either of these claims.

That said, it seems more plausible that Hitler was deeply dissatisfied with losing the war. Some historians believe he blamed the Jews, social democrats, and communists for betraying the German people, which he felt ultimately led to their defeat. This could explain the emergence of his anti-Semitic political views after 1919.
