Hitler's One Enemy Principle

It’s shocking how few people have read Mein Kampf, including many who consider themselves well read in political theory.

Or, if they did read it, they did not grasp its ground-principles.

The most misunderstood Hitlerian idea is the “One Enemy Principle”. This holds that you have to keep the people focused on one enemy, and not divide their attention between all of their possible opponents.

Read carefully this quote from Mein Kampf (vol. 1 ch. 3):

“In general the art of all truly great national leaders at all times consists among other things primarily in not dividing the attention of a people, but in concentrating it upon a single foe. The more unified the application of a people’s will to fight, the greater will be the magnetic attraction of a movement and the mightier will be the impetus of the thrust.”

Hitler saw his job as stirring up the German people to fight for their own interests. He knew he couldn’t lead them the same way a general leads an army. Without official authority, he could not directly control what people did. The best he could do was give the masses a core-idea and let them figure out how to bring it about. He could inspire and encourage, but in the end the people had to understand the ultimate objective and use their own initiative.

The “one enemy principle” seems obvious to anyone with a mind for military problems: concentration of all forces on the point-of-main-effort (Schwerpunkt). You want to slam the enemy where he’s weak and allocate minimal resources everywhere else.

You might object, “Well, we today have many enemies, how can we just focus on one? Hitler had it easy because Germany was—save a few hundred thousand Jews—all White and all Christian”.

If you made that objection, you need to stop thinking in purely racial terms. Not all enemies are conveniently denoted by a different skin-color.

In the 1920s, the German people had plenty of enemies besides just Jews: the Communists, London and New York financiers, the traitors who had capitulated in November 1918, the French and their negro-mercs, the Hapsburgs, elite-wannabes in the upper bourgeoisie, careerists who were happy to continue paying “reparations”, anti-national “intellectuals”.

Hitler correctly deduced that all of these phenomena could be—and HAD to be—reduced to “Jews”.

Communism was founded and led by Jews, in Russia and Germany as elsewhere.

Worldwide stock-trading was dominated by Jews. London and New York “international finance” was the main force demanding Germany pay her obscene “reparations” to Britain and France so they could pay off their war loans.

A grossly disproportionate number of the key November criminals were Jews—Rosa Luxemburg, Karl Liebknecht, Kurt Eisner, Walter Rathenau, Hugo Preuss usw.

All of the other evil anti-German forces had to be understood in that context. When Jews take over, greedy capitalists and careerists swarm into the top levels of government to impose their perverted agendas. It’s tempting to blame these opportunists on the basis of their outward identity as “liberals” or “conservatives” or “Christians” or “atheists”. But these people cannot be understood as causes in and of themselves, only as morally defective sellouts who would collaborate with any occupation government.

Let’s think about it the other way around. What if Hitler had decided to point at the Hapsburgs as the “one enemy” of the German people? The Habsburgs had certainly made a mess of the war. German divisions had to be pulled out of France and elsewhere to prop up the Austrian monarchy’s incompetent and demoralized mongrel army. The Habsburgs were also big in Freemasonry.

So then did the Habsburgs start Bolshevism? Did they prop up Lenin or instigate the Munich Soviet of 1919? How many Habsburgs were there on the New York and London stock-exchanges? Were the Habsburgs putting pressure on France to pay back war-loans, leading to the Ruhr occupation?

Obviously not. Designating the Habsburgs the “one enemy” in 1920 would have made no sense. It would have not corresponded to underlying phenomena. It would be like people today who blame “the globalists” or the World Economic Forum.

The “one enemy principle” does not mean you should pick a random group and stir up the people against them. That’s a vicious and Jewish misinterpretation of Hitler’s thinking. The “one enemy principle” means you figure out WHO is really responsible for the nation’s problems and CALL THEM OUT. An evil elite can’t be made to answer by polite petitions. The people’s complaints have to unite into one nation-shaking, eardrum-busting roar.

In that same section of Mein Kampf, Hitler explains how pointing at more than one enemy will cause people to start to doubt themselves. This in turn will lead to a loss of power:

“It belongs to the genius of a great leader to make even adversaries far removed from one another seem to belong to a single category, because in weak and uncertain characters the knowledge of having different enemies can only too readily lead to the beginning of doubt in their own right….

And this brings about the first paralysis of their own power. Hence a multiplicity of different adversaries must always be combined so that in the eyes of the masses of one’s own supporters the struggle is directed against only one enemy. This strengthens their faith in their own right and enhances their bitterness against those who attack it.”

Hitler’s entire propaganda strategy can be understood through this. Take for example this issue of the Völkischer Beobachter published 100 years ago this month. Hitler touches on lots of different problems—the press, Marxism, Freemasonry, high-finance—and ties them all together by pointing to the Jewish element in each. He then points to the fact that the Press is the most important part. Without the press, the rest of Jewish power would collapse.

The reader thus understands who is the cause of his nation’s weakness: the Jews.

Hitler DOES NOT--like so many conservatives and reactionaries do today--pile up a big list of problems and enemies in the hope of shocking his readers into action.

This principle is as true today as it was in 1925. It does not depend on technology or special demographic calculations, because it is based on human nature alone.

Thus, the more people who understand the “one enemy principle”, the more we will be able to push people toward intelligent and effective action.

Every problem is a Jewish problem or it isn’t politically relevant. Anyone who says otherwise is an obstacle to our racial salvation. They are dissipating the power of our folkish movement. You need to be calling these people out.

Some would object that “but we do have many enemies, and we have to tell the truth”.

No one, most especially Hitler, is telling you to lie. It’s a question of directing people’s focus.

If you’ve ever coached sports, you know how this works. When your team comes off the field at halftime, you don’t spend 15 minutes elaborating on every single mistake they’re making. That’s what practices are for. At halftime you tell them the ONE THING that they need to focus on to improve their play in the second half. “Stop whacking the ball straight downfield, look to the right and pass. Almost every time you guys have a teammate right there.”

None of us has the ability to put the whole American people through the many hours of lecturing that they would need to gain a generally accurate picture of their political predicament. Only the Jewish media has that ability, which they are using to deform people’s understanding and to push them to support Jewish interests or, at least, to waste their energies fighting each other.

So when you have people’s attention, don’t waste it.

Don’t say “liberals, niggers, and hadjis oh my!”. Just say “JEW”. “Jew” is the axiom whence all theorems can and must be derived. Liberals’ and conservatives’ dumb beliefs are due to Jewish indoctrination, nigger crime is due to Jewish control of prosecutors’ offices, and Muslim migration is due to Israeli wars and Jewish-incentivized “refugee resettlement” profiteering scams.

Rents are high? Blackrock, the “Federal Reserve”, Wall Street… JEWS

Wars are happening everywhere? Israel, AIPAC, neoconservative warmongerers… JEWS

Trannies and sophists have taken over the schools, selling evil and stupid ideas? J-J-J-J-JEEWWWWWS!

Try it with any problem in your life. Dig deep enough and you’ll find a Jew.

And if you can’t fine a Jew directly responsible, just remember who’s in charge! When you’ve had 100 years to shape society to your agenda, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE for the outcomes.

Jewish Power = Jewish responsibility.

If the Jews want to prove us wrong, they can always just step aside and let us run things.

They won’t because they are evil.

Our job is to call them out, all day, every day.
