  33.  The Leaving Goose  Well whatever word YOU choose to use to describe Nazi Germany in employed no more control over the economy than did the United States or Britain at the time. Hitler actually privatize more industry during the 1930s than several supposedly more democratic countries. And he argued that capitalism was harder to preserve in a more democratic country because democratic countries in Hitler’s view inevitably used socialistic measures to take over the market whereas fascist like him refused to do so. The Nazis did not exercise total control over their economy not even close. But It isn’t just a matter of the extent of control whether you call it authoritarian or totalitarian that makes someone a leftist. And you have to be completely ignorant of leftist ideology to think that it’s only about control. Leftist ideology has particular goals including the elimination of inequality of wealth and social classes and the internationalization of working people. It’s six to put all working people in control of the means of production not just any government elite and certainly not a racist nationalist elite which flies in the face of leftist principles. No matter how much control the Nazis exerted over German society and the economy they never supported these goals and in fact violently opposed him as mortal threats to their own ideology. And there’s just no way you can finesse that or parse it any other way then a complete conflict between Nazism and leftism. It ain’t just about a degree of control by Government. If that were true then a king Ramses the second would’ve been a leftist Oh and by the way you do know that there have been genuinely leftist governments that were not at all authoritarian right? You’re probably going try to deny this but it’s happening right now in Scandinavia
