"Only the means are different for the various socialist branches, but the principle is the same for all: the end justifies the means. Joseph Goebbels, propaganda minister of Hitler, is quoted in Germany with the statement "… it is not for nothing that we have chosen the name National Socialist German Workers Party (NSDAP), because at heart we are Communists." Briefing his generals before the invasion of the Soviet Union in June of 1941, Hitler told them that he wanted to bring them "real socialism." His declared intention was to destroy the Christian churches after victory."
