Not to be confused with Stransserism.

Strasserism is an authoritarian (but usually anti-totalitarian) and culturally far-right ball, 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.

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

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.
