Not to be confused with
Stransserism.
"We National Socialists want the economic revolution involving the nationalization of the economy...We want in place of an exploitative capitalist economic system a real socialism, maintained not by a soulless Jewish-materialist outlook but by the believing, sacrificial, and unselfish old German community sentiment, community purpose and economic feeling. We want the social revolution in order to bring about the national revolution."
Strasserism is an authoritarian (but usually anti-totalitarian) and culturally far-right ideology, toward the left side of the economic axis.
While not as far left as
Nazbol, he supports a socialist economy with strong worker's rights, and is anti-capitalist believing that markets are dominated by those he deems "inferior". He holds anti-semitic and generally racist and "ethnocentric" views, much like but, to an overall lesser degree to
Nazism, and enforces these with an authoritarian government.
Strasserism varies on being as expansionist and genocidal as National Socialism or favouring a "nationalists of the world unite" approach and favouring everyone's right to a national (worker's) homeland. However, the original proposal put forth by the Strassers, as opposed to the extreme expansionism of the Nazis, was the creation of a United States of Europe, with such proposals as a universal currency and abolition of border checks. The goal of this was to strike a balance between chauvinism of regional identities and the sense of belonging to a greater European civilization.
Strasserism often views bourgeois Jews as less than themselves for more economic reasons than on a racial hierarchy.
Beliefs
Strasserism is a political current that originated within the Nazi Party in Germany during the 1920s. Its main proponents were the brothers Gregor Strasser and Otto Strasser, who had significant ideological differences with Adolf Hitler and his more conservative wing of the party. Although Strasserism never became the dominant faction within the Nazi Party, its beliefs are worthy of analysis.
The beliefs of Strasserism include:
- Anti-capitalism: Strasserists were critical of capitalism and viewed the capitalist economic system as exploitative and harmful to the majority of the population. They advocated for the nationalization of major industries and resources to ensure they were under state control and in the service of the people's welfare.
- Anti-Semitism: Although they shared some ideological similarities with the more conservative wing of the Nazi Party, Strasserists were known for their less radical stance on anti-Semitism. While they accepted certain anti-Semitic elements, they did not embrace the persecution and hatred of Jews to the same extent as Hitler and his more radical followers.
- Nationalism and anti-imperialism: Strasserists advocated for a strong German nationalism and opposed what they saw as Germany's submission to foreign interests, especially during the interwar period after World War I. They also opposed the Treaty of Versailles and the League of Nations.
- National socialism: Strasserists promoted the idea of "national socialism" that combined elements of socialism with nationalism. Their goal was to create a society in which the state played a central role in the economy to protect workers and ensure social equality.
- Rejection of the aristocracy and big industry: Strasserists distrusted the aristocracy and large industrial corporations, viewing them as forces that perpetuated exploitation and the power of economic elites. They advocated for the creation of a more equitable system in which the state regulated the economy and protected the interests of the majority.
- Reject to the Militarism: Strasserism is considered pacifist, as Otto Strasser, in his book "Germany Tomorrow," proposed a pan-national democratic European federation where militarism was renounced.
It is important to note that as the Nazi Party consolidated under the leadership of Adolf Hitler, the Strasserists lost influence and were marginalized. In the infamous "Night of the Long Knives" in 1934, Gregor Strasser was killed on Hitler's orders, marking the end of Strasserism as a significant political current within the Nazi Party.
History
Strasserism is a political and social current that originated within the
Nazi movement in
Germany during the 1920s. This ideology takes its name from the Strasser brothers,
Otto and
Gregor, who were prominent leaders of the
left-wing faction within the Nazi Party in its early years.
The Strasserist ideology was characterized by a focus on more radical economic and social issues than those of other Nazi leaders, such as Adolf Hitler. Strasserists advocated for a more
socialist and
anti-capitalist orientation within Nazi politics, promoting policies that would benefit workers and the lower social classes. This included measures like the nationalization of businesses and wealth redistribution.
Gregor Strasser in particular was a vocal advocate of these ideas and managed to gain some support within the party, especially among younger members and the working-class base. However, as the party gained influence and moved closer to power,
Hitler and other more
conservative leaders within the party began to view Strasserist ideas as potentially alienating important sectors of German society and industry.
As the Nazi Party solidified its position, internal tensions between the Strasserist faction and the faction led by Hitler escalated. Eventually, during the "Night of the Long Knives" in 1934, Hitler and the more conservative faction eliminated numerous opponents, including several Strasserist leaders like Gregor Strasser, who was assassinated.
After the removal of the Strasserists, the Strasserist ideology ceased to be a significant force within the Nazi Party, and its influence gradually waned over time. Hitler and his more conservative and nationalist vision prevailed in steering the party's direction and shaping Nazi policies.
Strasser Brothers ![](//static.miraheze.org/polcompballwiki/9/98/OttoStrasser.png)
The Strasser Brothers, Gregor, and Otto, were prominent figures in the early years of the Nazi Party and played a significant role in its growth and development during the 1920s. However, as the Nazi ideology solidified under the leadership of Adolf Hitler, the Strasser brothers found themselves in disagreement with some of the party's political and strategic directions, which eventually led them to clash with Hitler and lose influence.
Gregor Strasser was born on May 31, 1892, while Otto Strasser was born on September 10, 1897, both in Germany. Both brothers joined the Nazi Party early on, during the early years of the 1920s. Gregor became a prominent member of the party and played a significant role in expanding the party in northern Germany. Along with his brother Otto, he advocated for a more socialist and anti-capitalist approach within the party, often coming into conflict with Adolf Hitler and his more nationalist and anti-Semitic focus.
During the 1920s, the Strasser brothers were part of the more left-leaning faction of the Nazi Party and advocated for policies that promoted social justice and economic equality. However, their influence began to wane as Hitler consolidated his leadership and his vision prevailed within the party.
The rivalry between the Strasser brothers and Hitler reached a critical point during the 1930s. Gregor Strasser was assassinated in 1934 due to his ideological differences and his criticism of Hitler's leadership. After Hitler's rise to power in 1933, Otto Strasser also came into conflict with the Nazi regime and was forced into exile. Otto Strasser continued to criticize the direction the party had taken under Hitler and warned about the dangers of extremism and oppression in the Nazi regime.
After World War II, Otto lived in exile until 1955.
Variants
Griffinism
![](http://static.miraheze.org/polcompballwiki/thumb/a/aa/GriffinFlag.png/220px-GriffinFlag.png)
Griffinism is a variant of Strasserism based on the views of Nick Griffin. It is primarily influenced by British Fascism, emphasising a strong
anti-capitalist presence while still remaining opposed to
Marxism. He believes in
Ethnopluralism and promote unity between racial nationalists of all groups to join together to end
Multiculturalism. As one of the lead figures of the
Official National Front he supported
Black Nationalists such as
Markus Garvey and
Louis Farrakhan, as well as
Islamic Nationalists including
Muammar Gaddafi and
Ayatollah Khomeini.
Griffin would later join the British National Party and become its leader in 1999. Under Griffin’s leadership, the BNP would
distance itself (at least outwardly) from fascism- even invoking imagery of VE Day and
Winston Churchill in its campaign material. The party also focused more on
cultural, rather than explicitly
white, nationalism. This was all done in an attempt to give the party a more mainstream image that would allow the party to gain elected office. In contrast to his previous support for Islamic Nationalists, Griffin turned the party’s focus towards
anti-Islam campaigning- this was seen as more publicly acceptable than
anti-semitism, particularly due to
9/11 and the growing visibility of Muslim immigrant communities in the UK at the time. Griffin did however maintain a relatively left-wing economic stance, seeking to position the BNP to the left of the incumbent
New Labour government on economics and to the right on matters of immigration and culture- even describing the BNP as ‘
the Labour Party your grandfather voted for’.
Despite reasonable electoral success in the 2000’s, including winning himself a seat in the European Parliament in 2009- Griffins attempts at bringing the BNP to power would ultimately fail- in 2014 he lost his European Parliament seat and was expelled from the party that same year after relinquishing his leadership. He currently serves as Vice-Chairman of the Europarty Alliance for Peace and Freedom, and has been involved in the British Freedom Party alongside Jayda Fransen and Jim Dowson.

- ↑ Strasserism originally began as a fascist movement however Otto Strasser would later denounce Fascism and Nazism in his book Germany Tommorow
- ↑ Otto proposes an elective monarchy in Germany Tomorrow
- ↑ Strasser promoted the decentralization of Germany, envisioning the nation as a collection of distinct, self-governing autonomous communities. Although each region would practice the same guild socialist economic model and uphold German culture, a grand council would be established to ensure checks and balances on the executive.
- ↑ "We are Christians; without Christianity Europe is lost. Hitler is an atheist."
- ↑ "As far as the principles of Germany's foreign policy are concerned, at the top is the golden rule: "What you don't want someone to do to you, don't do it to anyone else!" ━ the unconditional recognition of this rule by the foreign policy of a renewed Germany Of course, abroad also means that we want the same rule to be applied to the treatment of Germany by foreign countries. The recognition of this golden rule also results in the next principle of German foreign policy: recognition of the right to self-determination of all peoples, whether large or small, strong or weak, victor or defeated ━ and German foreign policy will support those measures that are aimed at achieving and securing this goal applies."
