The crazy 20’s invasion in Fascism and Nazism!

On Thursday 24, October, 1929 there was a stock market crash in New York, which led to a prolonged period of crisis. The crisis quickly moved to the whole U.S. economy, European and other world areas. 

This economic crisis severely impacted the middle bourgeoisie, who suffered the consequences and not the insurance of a good income, and security of the State. The middle class and the proletariat lived in a poor way, and the triumph of the socialist revolution in Russia, caused fear of a social revolution in both, the small and the big bourgeoisie.

The crisis affected everyone, because of the liberal concept of freedom of the market. The only way that the crisis does not affect a country is to have a protected market. The uncontrolled market crisis unfolds worldwide, bringing the middle class discontent and disillusioned, desperate unemployed, unemployment became a mass event!

In Italy, after World War, there was felt everywhere the revolutionary spirit, unions get some of their most important claims, and had in the strike one of his most effective weapons. It called for a reform of a political nature, which was strongly required. In this situation the big business used the fascists of Benito Mussolini to intimidate workers and broke strikes and violent demonstrations. The class that had the bigger impact in this depression was the middle class and the proletariat.

In Germany there was a genuine workers' revolution after the defeat in the war, a revolution in which they were involved the workers and peasants, but failed to succeed and was crushed violently, after the murder of Rose Luxemburg.   

In 1920 Adolf Hitler organized these groups into a single party, the NSDAP or Nazi. In 1923 there was a unique organization, the Nazi Party. Their political program is defined from the beginning, it talks about the mistakes of the war, about not paying, economic protectionism, the docility of the state against foreign powers, and that the party should control the state. 

    

The middle classes are subjected to free market competition, and looked favorably on this program. To them the class struggle was a foreign concept to them because they are considered bourgeoisie by the proletariat, but they weren’t rich. It was nearer the idea of ​​class collaboration on a common project, the idea of ​​homeland and nation, and putting the general interest and the state above classes. The farmers were part of the little bourgeoisie, as were small landowners who cultivate farms. In addition, agricultural prices rise less than the industry, creating a tension between agriculture and industry. The main capital of the peasantry is the price of land. Hitler attempted a coup d'état in 1922, which shall be sentenced to prison, but will win the 1933 elections. Italy and Germany started struggling with the Great depression and they would have an important economic role in the European countries. The wall street crash brought unemployment and it is going to be added to the problems of the people in many countries.
