Only great idealists, decent fighters, and political figures of true conviction can lay the foundations of human order and create lasting groundwork for the coexistence of nations. Our adversaries have developed neither constructive ideas nor creative forces, but only selfish interests and destructive instincts. Germany, however, has brought forth the new and fruitful political ideas of this century, implemented them among its own people, and thus provided practical proof that they are capable of bringing about the happiness of humanity and the harmony of its interests. Germany has therefore also shown the way to the reorganization of Europe and a happy future for all European peoples. No Eastern European sphere of influence, nor a Western European pact that would perpetuate the state of incessant wars and trample the peoples of Europe; no division into Bolshevik and plutocratic spheres of influence that would subject European nations to deadly exploitation and irretrievably destroy them—only the central solution, centered around the Reich as the European core and therefore as the continental power of order, is the only possible one for Europe. Europe without Germany is impossible. But Europe is also no longer possible without a National Socialist Germany. For a new Europe can only be born from a new idea. Our adversaries have not produced a future-shaping idea. Germany's European program, however, illuminates the dark aspirations of the European people in the bright light of a historical vision. Our program, in the reality and attainability of its goals, is greater and more powerful than our adversaries, even in all their lofty phases of world-improvement, could ever conceive. Our program is the salvation of Europe from the united barbarians of East and West, who are about to destroy the creations of European culture, to brutally destroy the most sublime works of a spirit that has illuminated the world for millennia and bestowed upon it the full richness of human progress. In a saved Europe, freed from its corruption—and this is the second great goal of our program—we will then fight for the socialist liberation of its creative people and thus open the way for the nations to a truly social progress that leads to a new, great, and happy future. This true socialism will not be born of strikes, destruction, civil war and rebellion, arson and annihilation, but of a new, great, and truly progressive idea, of the victory of human reason over the spirit of hatred and destruction. This socialism of ours is founded on the law of the community, whose interests take precedence over all individual interests. Only the realization of our socialist order will fulfill the centuries-old yearning of working humanity, will free it from the chains of capitalism, eliminate the privileges of favored classes, and liberate working people from their contempt as proletarians. Only our socialist order will restore dignity to working people and enable them to achieve their highest potential. Only it will bring work and sustenance, justice and prosperity, security and peace to all people. These are lofty goals and high ideals worth fighting for, risking one's life, and shedding one's blood for.
