Likud and National Socialism
Measured distance across six axes
Different families with real common ground. They agree within three points on CU, ID. They diverge by eight points or more on CH.
Axis by axis
| Axis | Likud | NSDAP | Gap | Reading | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EC · Economic organisation | +06 | +02 | 4 | Differs | Real difference, but not the dividing line. |
| CU · Social and cultural order | +06 | +09 | 3 | Agrees | Effectively the same position. Not what an argument between them is about. |
| AU · Organisation of power | +05 | +10 | 5 | Differs | Real difference, but not the dividing line. |
| SC · Scale of decision | +03 | +09 | 6 | Differs | Real difference, but not the dividing line. |
| ID · Rule of membership | +07 | +10 | 3 | Agrees | Effectively the same position. Not what an argument between them is about. |
| CH · Method and tempo | −03 | +09 | 12 | Diverges | Carries the disagreement. Any claim that these two are alike has to explain this. |
Each axis runs from −10 to +10; the distance is the straight-line separation across all six at once, out of a maximum of 49.0. How the scoring works →
The evidence behind the widest gaps
A distance figure is worth nothing unless the scores behind it can be checked. These are the artefacts supporting the axes that separate these two most.
Likud · CH −03
Coded −3: entirely electoral, with the judicial overhaul pursued through legislation.
- Documented act or statuteHas alternated in and out of government repeatedly since 1977.
NSDAP · CH +09
The party came to office through a legal appointment and then abolished the mechanism that produced it, having already run a decade of paramilitary street violence.
- Documented act or statuteThe SA numbered in the hundreds of thousands and functioned as a standing political militia from 1921.
- Documented act or statuteNo competitive national election was held after March 1933.
What this comparison does not establish
Proximity means similarity of stated position. It carries no claim about competence, circumstance, scale of operation, or what either organisation actually did to the people under it. Two organisations can sit close together and produce entirely different histories, because those things are not on any axis and could not be.
Likud
1973– · Israel
Security-first nationalism, settlement of the West Bank, free-market economics, judicial restraint.
National Socialism
1920–1945 · Germany
A racially defined national community, hierarchy by blood, conquest of living space, extermination of designated enemies.
Distance is not the whole answer. Two organisations can sit the same distance apart for entirely different reasons, and the reason is the content of any claim about them. Open the comparison in the atlas to weight the axes yourself.
