National socialists were still socialists, it's not just in the name.

@hatchxable I did watch the video, they are wrong, don't like it? Perhaps read some more about socialism in general, fascism and national socialists. You can start with watching Razorfist's video "national socialism is socialist" and the manner in which the economy is run is almost exactly like any other socialist and communist country was run. It's not hard to understand unless you want socialism to not look as evil as it almost always is which is always the core of the "national socialism was not real socialism" meme socialists claim. Imagine defending socialism, it realy is like a cult.

Literaly every socialist that wants to deny national socialists were socialists makes this exact response everywhere. It's almost like socialism is a cult that has to keep repeating the same lie over and over again expecting reality to magically change. Nazi's were socialists not just in name but in action.

@magnuscritikaleak5045 they both were, hell Mussolini used to be a member of the socialist party of italy before he became fascist and Hitlers national socialism is an almost exact copy of fascism but with an added volkish and racist ideology. The easiest way to understand it is thus, communism is international socialism and fascism/national socialism is a nationalistic form of socialism, the current nation of China has the same type of government and ideology as national socialism and fascism which is also reflected in their transition from national cultural destruction during Mao's reign and the current government that wants to praise and restore cultural traits and identities around the older era's of China, which is very much in line with the ideology of historical fascism and national socialism, the idea of expanding the nation, regaining lands, socialising the people to this goal, guiding the economy to produce wealth and materials needed to expand via war, all of this is in line with national socialism, communism and fascism, socialists today simply want to use this same method of government for their goals of public education, healthcare, identity, government regulation while often still having market forces and capitalistic structures to support it, like Sweden which is both very socialistic with wellfare programs while being much more free market then the USA. Being a socialist or support of socialism does not make you a national socialist or a fascist but denying that nat-soc and fascistic regimes did not employ socialism is just being dishonest and inaccurate and it's easy to see why, since that might convince people that socialism is a bad idea, which it is.

@hatchxable ''Nowadays Socialist is only a word used to let you know that the party is siding with the workers.'' hahaha good one, no realy it means we side with our own pockets and want to make sure we keep getting more power and money, any form of ''socialism'' only works with free market capitalism so realy it's just a bunch of grifters out for their own profits, nothing more, the socialists most often care the least about workers or workers rights.

@hatchxable ''Once they ascended to power the first thing they did was to declare he Soviet Union as "Enemy of State", they were clearly anti-Marxist.'' yeah because communism was international marxism and national socialism/fascism was nationalistic socialism, they later made deals with the communists against the west and Hitler himself said he has more in common with communism than capitalism and that it's easier to convert them to his form of socialism than it was to convince a capitalist.

@hatchxable ''The party was created to withdraw German workers away from communism and send them towards the idea of the superiority of the German race above all.'' yes and towards national socialism, seeing communism as a threat to the national people and against natural selection via the teachings of social darwinsim, still makes them socialist, most socialist and communist regimes are racist and almost all are totalitarian.

@hatchxable you got a lot of facts and history to ignore to make your 150 million deaths caused ideology ''work'' why so much faith in an ideology that has failed so much? it realy convinces me that socialism is more of a religion than an ideology or economic model.

@user-dk9dx3xb2t I have that's why I prefer capitalism instead of listening to socialist apologists. But do continue adding bodies to the pile of communism and socialism im sure this time the workers Utopia won't result in famines and genocide for sure.

The far right is not in power, it's the far left that rules and is promoting racist policies. And yes national socialists are still socialists.

Kinda weird to make a statement comparing Trump to the nazi's and then not wanting someone to disagree with that statement.

@hatchxable don't you know anything about the history of socialism and communism? The first thing they do is abolish capitalism, yes most nations today don't have completly free markets and I agree it's impossible to have a completly free market simply because every government needs checks against competition from corporations getting too powerfull, we see this in the USA with the robber barons during reconstruction period where they could bribe government officials that's when the government and part of the middle class and progressive intelectuals started to demand changes and anti trust laws (which ironically enough they should realy use on big tech companies today, yet they don't even while not under actual capitalism) However that does not mean capitalism is bad or that socialism is therefor good, in fact the richest nations today are those with free market capitalism but who also have big wellfare programs, that does not make them socialist however, wellfare is not socialism, socialism is the controle of and manipulation of market forces by the government, no exception, was the case with communists, the fascists, the nazi's they all implemented policies of this nature, rent controles, price controles, nationalizing of key industries (like in Venezuela also real socialism) Paying taxes is also not socialism because taxes have existed before socialism and will continue untill another form of wealth creation valued by humans is found, the USA however does have some socialist policies and does not rank that high anymore on free market index and that's also why the USA is in decline, some leaders and the american people themselves try to keep it running as best they can and with such a large land mass and population with continued immigration it can sustain itself for quite a long time but the corruption and inefficiënt government policies will continue to grind economic progress down. In communist China they were one of the poorest nations on earth when Mao died, after economic minster Dong started opening up the country, bringing in investment from the west and basic market forces did it's economy skyrocket and even now they have a mixed economy with little actual socialism but still the cultural and government structure of a totalitarian dictatorship, it's almost a more capitalistic form of national socialism held together with modern technology for censorship and controle but it will most likely not last, already we see some creeping of modern and western style of thinking which will speed up with each generation. Socialists don't care about workers, they care about power and about controle, they don't work for the people but against it and any government regulation or anti trust is put in place because capitalism works so well that it threatens the power structure of most governments, that's why in most nations there is a balans or rather attempt at it between corporations and the government, nobody realy represents the people or the workers anymore because truth is if workers in one country are being difficult then corporations simply export their factories to nations that aren't difficult, the market needs consumers so they do have some interest in keeping people fed but only as long as some workers and essential industries keep running, there is no easy solution, socialism however is not the solution and never will be, people have to adapt or they will be used by those that do.

@hatchxable national socialism was socialist because they controled most key industries and regulated nearly all aspects of the society, the only difference between nat-soc and communism is that communism replaced the corporate structure completly and ran on a planned economy, where as nat-soc was a middle man between corporations and market players (aka the people) to regulate and fix prices and reward loyal members to the regime.

@hatchxable if your ideology has the same results in north korea, vietnam, South africa, Zimbabwe, Venezuela, soviet union, sweden (had a socialist government in the 80s I believe), Ukraine, Poland, Romania, China, so on and leads to famines, shortages, authoritarian governments, dictatorships and you still think that's not true socialism then how are you not a cult with a believe focused mindset that can't think rationally and objectively on how economic and society works? The record stands, capitalism has won, created the modern world and has worked everywhere, regardless of race, class, gender or religion where ever it was implemented where as socialism has failed on every front and produced some of the most horrific and genocidal results in human history (and im not just talking about ww2, pol pot in combodia for example) The record is the record and if you can't accept that then you are just being dishonest to yourself and not interested in the truth, all you are left with is a immoral fantasy and ideology that deserves to be ridiculed.

@hatchxable if you truely want to understand why socialism fails, read a history book if your desperate to make it work, have the most free market you can find, with the most minimal of socialist policies and perhaps you won't get a famine within 2 generations.

@CarrotConsumer you don't, that's capitalism, big government has the means of production, that's far left politics for you.

@LaDeXi fair enough.
