  13.  currantbun2166  "and never even did basic socialist things like nationalising industry" Wrong. They did. They specifically nationalized most if not all the German industry and later reorganized all industries into corporations run by members of the Nazi Party. They called this nationalization as "Gleichschaltung". "To put it quite clearly: we have an economic programme. Point No. 13 in that programme demands the nationalisation of all public companies, in other words socialisation, or what is known here as socialism. … the basic principle of my Party’s economic programme should be made perfectly clear and that is the principle of authority… the good of the community takes priority over that of the individual. But the State should retain control; every owner should feel himself to be an agent of the State; it is his duty not to misuse his possessions to the detriment of the State or the interests of his fellow countrymen. That is the overriding point. The Third Reich will always retain the right to control property owners. If you say that the bourgeoisie is tearing its hair over the question of private property, that does not affect me in the least. Does the bourgeoisie expect some consideration from me?… Today’s bourgeoisie is rotten to the core; it has no ideals any more; all it wants to do is earn money and so it does me what damage it can. The bourgeois press does me damage too and would like to consign me and my movement to the devil.“ — Adolf Hitler, Hitler's interview with Richard Breiting, 1931, published in Edouard Calic, ed.,

  39.  @maxfan1591  Wrong. They were far-left socialists. The fact that the capitalists and entrepreneurs, faced with the alternative of Marxism or Nazism, chose the latter, does not require any further explanation. They preferred to live as shop managers under Hitler than to be "liquidated" as "bourgeois" by Marxists. Capitalists don't like to be killed any more than other people do. Nazis believed, just like the Fascists, that only the State can properly organize a Socialist Society. They were politically, socially and econo mically anti-cons ervative, since they didn't want to preserve the status quo nor did they want to bring back Monarchy / Kaiser. The conservatives thought Hitler would end the Republic and bring back Mon archy and Kaiser. They were wrong. Hitler's point was that Marxism must be rejected NOT because it is soci alist, but because it is in cahoots with international finance capital. In fact, Hitler thought the Marxists were INSINCERE about their socialism. This being-in-cahoots of capitalism and Marxism (through the Je ws) is the MAIN point made in Mein Kampf. And is the reason why, for the Nazis, socialism had to become nationalist. That socialism had to become nationalist, did not, however, mean that it went right-wing. Owning prop erty was made conditi onal and private property rights were abolished with the Reich stag fire decree on February 28, 1933. The Na zis suspended a number of articles of the Weimar Constitution; Among these were Article 115 and Article 153. Article 115 said: "The dw elling of every German is his sanctuary and is inviolable. Exceptions may be imposed by authority of law." Article 153 also guaranteed property. Obviously, they did not confiscate everyone's property, however all pro perty always could be confiscated by the state and a certain amount was. Industry was divided into 13 sectors and placed under the control of the state. They nationalized unions into one single nation wide union known as the Deutsche Arbeitsfront (DAF, or German La bor Front). The DAF created a single overarching labor union. Essentially all Ger man workers and employees in every economic sector belonged to the DAF. For example, far mers were coordinated into the Reich Food Estate. While traditional unions prioritized workers’ rights, the DAF emphasized national economic goals above personal well-being. Under the newly created Ger man Labor Front (DAF), the Na zis set high wages, overtime pay was generous, and dismissal of workers by employers was difficult to execute, but inflation and stricter labor laws eroded much of that advantage. It was a well known fact before and during the war, that Hi tler's National Soci alist party was an alter native, socialist school of thought which rejected the marxist version of socialism, and capitalism respectively... hence they called themselves a 3rd position.
