Uncle Adolf's strategy, the most effective method of social control.

From the National Socialist regime of Adolf Hitler, remembering many horrible things that were framed in history for the future to be forgotten, the invasion of several nearby countries, the concentration camps, where they recruited Jews mostly and others. But there is something that people do not get used to and he wonders why he is a character who was a simple soldier, supposedly without leadership capacity, such high popularity levels between the end of the 20s and the 30s.

Many authoritarian regimes have implemented increasingly fine social control systems to maintain their own submission, Adolf, was his great propaganda system commanded by the Minister of Communication and Education, Joseph Goebbels.

The Nazi party began as a simple party where no more than 200 people met, it was called the German Workers' Party. Uncle Adolf had been sent so that it could be produced in Germany, in a revolution similar to the Bolshevik revolution in Russia. The point is that this party does not govern nor a moderately acceptable childhood, like the same uncle Adolfo.

However, this took advantage of the opportunities that arose shortly afterwards to rise in popularity.

Due to the inability of the German government at that time to resolve the inflationary crisis that existed at that time, the National Socialist party began to win titles such as Hermann Goering, key player of the Nazi regime.

In 1923, Uncle Adolf tries a coup d'état, which fails and is sent to prison. He does not last a year in prison, however, here he took the opportunity to write in his cell, so easy the Nazi manifesto called "Mein Kampf" (My struggle), where he exposed every point of his ultranationalist ideology.

A short time later, Uncle Adolf left the good behavior and it is here when the propaganda power begins with the help, in my personal opinion, the most important piece in his regime: Joseph Goebbels.

Political propaganda as an ideological weapon was born with the Bolshevik revolution, where the leaders of this revolution employ measures to systematically control the masses and guide them under the communist ideology. The same would do the Nazis but some things tailored to the National Socialist ideology to impose their vision on the German people as the world, or at least that was his intention.

The Nazi propaganda was very complete and effective during the regime of Uncle Adolf, they knew how to apply it to its maximum expression. Look for a clear enemy to define them through them: Jews and communists. They took all the means of communication, they completely modified the educational system so that the National Socialist ideology was a doctrine for the whole population, the discourses of Uncle Adolf were always broadcast on the radio, they had posters with the image of Hitler everywhere, mass parades were reproduced with the symbols symbols of the regime to the point of obsessing the German people. You could say that it was a totally hypnotized society.

This propagandistic system as before, was conceived by Joseph Goebbels, and had 11 fundamental principles:

• Individualize a unique enemy, in this case the Jews.
• Principle of the method of contagion. Gather opponents in a single category or individual.
• Load your own mistakes on the adversary.
• Have a unique symbol that identifies the regime.
• Principle of exaggeration, any type of threat in a grave.
• Principle of vulgarization, all the propaganda dictated by them that had to be understood even the person with the most difficulties to understand.
• Propaganda should be limited to a small number of ideas, and these should be repeated tirelessly in various ways, but always maintaining the same principle.
• Renew, new accusations must be issued to the adversary so that he can not respond to them, and thus maintain the active masses against the adversary.
• Silence, silence before arguments that have no answer and before the achievements of the adversary.
• Reach a convincing people that thinks "just like everyone", creating the impression of unanimity.

These principles dictated by the Nazi regime for political propaganda have been used since then for some reasons to keep the masses under control, perhaps not as effectively as Uncle Adolf, but temporarily it has worked for them. In general, these manipulative discourses are easily identifiable.

They are characterized more than anything by being collectivist discourses, always "the people" ahead, and unfortunately many people ignore the fact that the community greatly limits the development of the smallest minority that exists, which is the individual, and if the individual it can not develop, it ends up becoming a very manipulable being.

Fortunately, we are in a time when information reaches almost all the places in the world in record time, an aspect that did not exist at the time of the Bolshevik revolution and Nazism, which benefited them greatly since the masses remained ignorant of any type of speech and were very manipulable for any authoritarian regime.
