Yuck. Maybe the Nazi is the person who writes stuff like this. Also, it's convenient that none of the poor/working-class people are Nazis (unless they clawed their way up the class hierarchy, because then they hate their parents and also Jews).

I guess Nazism was a movement of upper-class twits, then?

This was written in 1941, before the Holocaust was widely known about. This person would have thought of Nazism as an ugly regime, like many others in history, perhaps the way we think of Assad or Putin but worse. She wouldn't have known they were nearly as bad as we do today.

That's a highly heterodox reading.
