Comments by "Kim O\x27Brien" (@kimobrien.) on "Hitler's Socialism | Destroying the Denialist Counter Arguments" video.
Maybe it would be best if TIkhistory said what he is instead of trying to prove what others are. Seems to me his theories coincide with the Austrian school of economics.

@TheImperatorKnight No ones has created an industrial society without state control. Capitalism is based in nation states. The need for a state arose with agriculture, the division of labor and the cleavage into classes.. Groups of hunter gathers searching for food don't need to protect the surplus of food created by agriculture on land in a specific place. You can't get rid of the state because the capitalist need it to defend their control of the surplus value of production. Any theory that requires private property is going to require a state. Get rid of private property and you get rid of the requirement for a state but not necessarily the need for a new one. The use of state power was just one of the disagreements that broke out after Lenin's death. .

@night6724 Hitler built a movement of political thugs based in a demoralized middle class suffering under the impact of Germany's defeat, war veterans and criminals. The capitalist turned to him with the fear of a coming socialist revolution being unstoppable. He would of course extract a heavy price for services rendered. But his promises of a Greater Germany. a thousand year Reich and a role for the national socialist employer was the much more attractive of the three alternatives.

Hitler was a Republican also. All the Social Democrats who were allowed to take their seats in the Reichstag vote against passing the enabling act that gave Hitler dictatorial power and none of the Communists were allowed to vote because Paul von Hindenburg the President of Germany issued the Reichstag Fire Act. This despite a famous trial were the Communist Party leaders were found "Not Guilty." Industrialist and former Chancellor the aristocrat von Papen were behind making Hitler Chancellor of Germany. Hitler would never have come to power without the machinations of the Industrialists and von Papen.

To drive profits his way the capitalist must always seek to cut the labor time needed to produce but since the market is limited then he finds that his invested capital has risen while the labor time which is the source of the profit has gone down as does the skill since he replaces higher paid skilled labor with machines and unskilled labor first because the price sinks toward the cost of production than his rate of profit must also decline. This is how they become too big to fail and need bailouts. The capitalist created the central bank and then central bank generated inflation to try and solve this problem which as no solution other than the end of finance capitalism the most parasitic of all capitalisms. They can not help create all kinds of problems by placing bets on stock and all kinds of financial products which are nothing more than fictitious capital tha has the problem of collapse in value caused by the undeling crisis of overproduction of commodities for markets that have no additional buyers. In order to save themselves from competition they have developed the most horrible labor savings measure of war like the nuclear weapons, drone bombers and the guided missiles.
