Tags: Political Party.
The National-Social Association (German: Nationalsozialer Verein NSV) was a political party in the German Empire founded in 1896 by Friedrich Naumann. It sought to synthesise liberalism nationalism and non-Marxist socialism with Protestant Christian values in order to cross the ideological front lines and draw workers away from Marxist class struggle. However it never grew beyond a minor party of intellectuals which failed to gain mass support in elections.
