Ja tu neko nesaproti, tad arī filozofs Stīvens Hikss neko nesaprot no vēstures, savā grāmatā viņš raksta:

"..Goebbels had often been more than willing to make speeches and write conciliatory essays to the Communists, asking them to recognize that the National Socialists' and Communists' major goals of overthrowing capitalism and achieving socialism were the same - and that the only significant difference between the two was that the Communists believed that socialism could be achieved at the international level, while the National Socialists believed that it could and should occur at the national level. The differences between National Socialism and Communism boiled down to a choice between the dictatoriship of the Volk and the dictatorship of the proletariat."
