“The Nazis sought to strengthen the Germanic people, the "Aryan master race", through racial purity and eugenics, broad social welfare programs

Second paragraph of lead.

However, per Economy of Nazi Germany:

“The Nazis were hostile to the idea of social welfare in principle, upholding instead the Social Darwinist concept that the weak and feeble should perish. They condemned the welfare system of the Weimar Republic as well as private charity, accusing them of supporting people regarded as racially inferior and weak, who should have been weeded out in the process of natural selection. Nevertheless, faced with the mass unemployment and poverty of the Great Depression, the Nazis found it necessary to set up charitable institutions to help those they deemed to be racially-pure Germans in order to maintain popular support, while arguing that this represented "racial self-help" and not indiscriminate charity or universal social welfare. [Irrelevant sentences removed] Unlike the social welfare institutions of the Weimar Republic and the Christian charities, the NSV distributed assistance on explicitly racial grounds. It provided support only to those who were "racially sound, capable of and willing to work, politically reliable, and willing and able to reproduce." Non-Aryans were excluded, as well as the "work-shy", "asocials" and the "hereditarily ill."

I therefore suggest “broad social welfare programs” be changed to “selective social welfare programs”, “Aryan-specific social welfare programs”, or something along these lines. Nazi welfare was both specific to “Aryans” and not seen as part of the goal of “race-strengthening” in principle.

The problem with locking the page is the concomitant loss of incidental editing.[edit]

I frequently edit pages, as I peruse them, to correct for idiom (for foreign language sourced articles, like this one) and other grammatical ambiguities and errata. (I do not have the resources available to create my own account at this time.)

For instance, the phraseology of the first section would be better served if the conjunction either was moved to modify the second element of the list (inferiority) rather than where it is, seemingly erroneously modifying the three items listed, thus the sentence ending: "excluding those deemed to be either political dissidents, physically or intellectually inferior, or of a foreign race (Fremdvölkische)." should be recast to say: "excluding those deemed to be political dissidents, either physically or intellectually inferior, or of a foreign race (Fremdvölkische)." See? Much better. However, now I have spent an order of magnitude more effort to make a simple notification for someone else to read and act on this very simple edit. (I wonder how many people will read this and not bother before someone decides to act? I wonder who manages that editing process. Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?) 118.210.101.232 (talk) 05:40, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The page is inaccurate. The Nazi party was not far right. It was far left. I realize the importance of everyone wanting to distance themselves as far away from Nazis as possible but it is critical to get history correct. The Nazi party was a socialist party. Left wing not right. Drofhist (talk) 14:08, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is not correct. Please see the FAQ and other banners at the top of this page. — Czello (music) 14:11, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The Nazi Party was considered “far-right” pursuant to the reliable sources cited. And that’s what we have to go by. Otherwise, it is considered original research. As for only allowing registered editors, it’s for good reason. To protect the article from rampant vandalism, which is common with Nazi related articles.

Paul Wegener links to the wrong person. This is the correct link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Wegener_(Gauleiter) Soder86 (talk) 17:51, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
