GONÇALVES, Joaquim Lucas Maciel.
Abstract:
This work aims to analyze the National Socialism movement and its revolutionary apotheosis.
The theme selection arose from the necessity to understand the classification of Nazism as
being a right-wing, left-wing, or even another type of political movement. For this purpose,
the document analysis method was utilized when dealing with the sources, which consisted of
documents available on the German Propaganda Archive website, of the Calvin University
institution. In the theoretical field, the chosen aspect to continue this research was political
history. In addition, this work was also based on important books that deals with the subject of
study, written by authors such as philosopher and political scientist Hannah Arendt and Karl
Mannheim, as well as others that complemented the discussion. As for temporality, the
research was limited to the interval between 1925 and 1938, in the space that corresponds to
Germany. Therefore, in order to show an unusual narrative, in face of the current scenario of
discussion, Nazism was worked from a perspective of a revolutionary movement that
disrupted traditional German society and rebuilt it as a new civilization, based on the Nazi
worldview, from a true deification of his revolution, as well as principles of collectivism and
cult of personality.
