From Brownshirt Riots to Nuremberg Law

Remarkably, the Nazis followed in the precise historical tracks of the Democrats with regard to handling their street violence. In the late 1920s and early 1930s, Hitler’s brownshirts—led by flamboyant homosexual Ernst Röhm—ruled the streets in much the same manner that an inner-city gang might rule a neighborhood. Hitler encouraged the violence of the brownshirts, and he and Röhm were closely allied.

Yet once he came to power in 1933, Hitler viewed Röhm as a threat. Röhm had his brownshirts, but Hitler now had the military as well as the SS under the supervision of Heinrich Himmler. Hitler wanted military force to be concentrated within the government, under his full control. So Hitler dispatched Theodor Eicke, the commandant at Dachau, and another officer at the camp to execute Röhm. The suggestion by some progressive pundits that Hitler had Röhm killed because he was a homosexual is pure nonsense. Hitler did not want a rival gang leader organizing random street violence. He wanted to be the sole gang leader organizing violence through the operations of the state itself.

Earlier, Hitler had spoken of “rational anti-Semitism” replacing “emotional anti-Semitism.” Goebbels now invoked this distinction to call upon all Germans to “strictly desist from all further demonstrations and acts of retribution in any form against Jewry.” Here is an incredible instance of a top Nazi leader urging restraint in expressions of public anti-Semitism. Yet of course Goebbels intended something even more insidious in its place. He pledged, “Jewry will be given the ultimate answer in the form of legislation and ordinances.”29

In 1935, seven years before the Nazis fully implemented the Final Solution, Hitler advocated emigration and ghettoization as interim solutions to the Jewish problem. The Jews, Hitler said, must be “removed from all professions, ghettoized, restricted to a particular territory, where they can wander about, in accordance with their character, while the German people looks in, as one looks at animals in the wild.”30

Starting in 1933, the first year of the Third Reich, the Nazis also began the systematic exclusion of Jews from public office. Hitler added an “Aryan clause” to the civil service law which effectively banned Jews from government employment. Soon Jews were also removed and excluded from journalism, farming, teaching, and the theater. By 1938, Jews could not practice investment banking or the professions of law and medicine. This combination of segregation and state-sponsored discrimination against Jews mirrors what the Democrats did to African Americans.

As should be obvious by now, the Nazi race laws were the precise equivalent of the Democratic Party’s race laws. It isn’t merely that the former provided a precedent for the latter; the two sets of laws also had the same functional purpose. Just as the segregation and discrimination laws were intended to supplement, and in some respects replace, the random violence of the Ku Klux Klan, so too the Nuremberg Laws and Nazi discrimination laws were intended to supplement, and in some respects replace, the random violence of the brownshirts.
