Gregor Strasser, a prominent figure in the early Nazi Party, played a pivotal role in shaping its ideology and policies during the 1920s. As a leading representative of the Nazi Left, Strasser advocated for a more radical and socialist approach to National Socialism, emphasizing the need for social and economic reforms to address the plight of the working class. Strasser's ideas, known as Strasserism, espoused a form of corporatism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Semitism, aiming to create a classless society based on racial purity and national unity. Despite his popularity and influence within the Nazi Party, Strasser's conflict with Adolf Hitler over the direction of the party led to his eventual downfall and elimination during the Night of the Long Knives in 1934, solidifying Hitler's absolute control over the Nazi regime.
