Both had the worshipped idealology. The Germans, the vaunted, hardworking volk, tiller of the land who was of the party and for the party; the Soviets had the bourgeoise, salt of the earth, strenghth of the nation, who was also of the party and for the party. Both forms of government have more in common than they have differences.
