Nazis justified the persecution of political opponents such as leftists and communists by portraying them as enemies of the state who wanted to undermine the German nation and its unity. They claimed that these groups were a threat to the stability and prosperity of Germany and needed to be eliminated in order to protect the interests of the German people. Additionally, Nazis viewed leftists and communists as unpatriotic and as supporters of ideas that were incompatible with the goals and values of the Nazi regime. By painting political opponents as dangerous and disloyal, Nazis sought to justify their persecution and create a sense of fear and mistrust towards these groups among the German population.
