“Why We Are Socialists?” Der Angriff (The Attack ) (16 July 1928) as quoted in English translation Attack: Essays from the Time of Struggle, RJG Enterprises (2010) p. 262

We are socialists, because we see in socialism, that means, in the fateful dependence of all folk comrades upon each other, the sole possibility for the preservation of our racial genetics and thus the re-conquest of our political freedom and for the rejuvenation of the German state.

— Joseph Goebbels
