National Socialist Program - Austrian Party Program

Austrian Party Program

In May 1918, before Austria became a republic, the Austrian DNSAP (German National Socialist Worker's Party), proclaimed a similar program:

. . . the German National Socialist Workers’ Party is not a party exclusively for labourers; it stands for the interests of every decent and honest enterprise. It is a liberal (freiheitlich) and strictly folkic (volkisch) party fighting against all reactionary efforts, clerical, feudal, and capitalistic privileges; but, before all, against the increasing influence of the Jewish commercial mentality which encroaches on public life. . . .
. . . it demands the amalgamation of all European regions inhabited by Germans, into a socialized Germany. . . .
. . . it demands the introduction of plebiscites for all important laws in the country. . . .
. . . it demands the elimination of the rule of Jewish banks over our economic life, and the establishment of People’s Banks under democratic control. . . .

    Cossack commanders cannonading come,

    A party is perpetually corrupted by personality.
