Nazism's ideology was shaped by Hitler's
beliefs in German racial superiority and the
dangers of communism. It rejected liberalism,
democracy, the rule of law, and human rights,
stressing instead the subordination of the
individual to the state and the necessity of
strict obedience to leaders.

Social Darwinism applies biological concepts of natural
selection and survival of the fittest to sociology, economics,
and politics. It argues that the strong see their wealth and
power increase while the weak see their wealth and power
decrease.
Nazis taught that humans had evolved from primates, but they
believed the Aryan or Nordic race had evolved to a higher level
than other races because of the harsh climatic conditions that
influenced natural selection. They also claimed that Darwinism
underpinned specific elements of Nazi racial ideology,
including racial inequality, the necessity of the racial struggle
for existence, and collectivism.

Hitler defined the Jews as a race and not a religious
community, characterized the effect of a Jewish presence as a
“race-tuberculosis of the peoples,” and identified the initial
goal of a German government to be discriminatory legislation
against Jews. The “ultimate goal must definitely be the
removal of the Jews altogether.” Hitler's years in Vienna
(1908–1913) and his military service were important stages
for his development of a comprehensive racist ideology.
