From 1925-1928 the NSDAP underwent an internal conflict that almost split the party in little pieces, or at least into 2. Gregor Strasser in the North of Germany was essentially pushing National Bolshevism along with his secretary, Joseph Goebbels. Both were on the left of the party, obviously, and wanted to take the party towards more of a class struggle. Private property being abolished was on the table and they were trying to pry Hitler away from the true National Socialists in Munich whom stuck to the original 25 points of the party. Hitler's vision however was class unity, not class struggle, and this conflict could not be allowed to evolve into a civil war.

Also see how Hitler turned Goebbels into his most loyal solider and how he rose to power as well as Hitler's strange relationship with his niece, Geli.
