Socialists are good people

Attributed by Hermann Rauschning in Hitler Speaks (1940) also known as The Voice of Destruction, the book's authenticity is disputed.

>I have learned a great deal from Marxism as I do not hesitate to admit... The difference between them and myself is that I have really put into practice what these peddlers and pen pushers have timidly begun. The whole of National Socialism is based on it...

In the lense of historical-materialism Adolf Hitler was a progressive force.

>He owned illustrated copies of Don Quixote and Robinson Crusoe, which he ranked, along with Gulliver's Travels and Uncle Tom's Cabin, as the great works of world literature.

>Although contemporaries say that he loved reading works by German authors, Nietzsche in particular, "there is no sign of Goethe, Schiller, Dante, Schopenhauer or Nietzsche in his library.[2]" He is said to have believed that Shakespeare was far superior to Goethe and Schiller.
