The party is all-embracing. It rules our lives in all their breadth and depth... Each activity and each need of the individual will thereby be regulated by the party as the representative of the general good... This is Socialism- not such trifles as the private possession of the means of production. Of what importance is that if I range men firmly within a discipline they cannot escape. Let them own land or factories as much as they please. The decisive factor is that the State, through the party, is supreme over all, regardless of whether they are owners or workers... Our Socialism goes far deeper. (Hermann Rauschning)
