Hitler was a national socialist and advocated for socialist political economy in Germany since the 1920s. After taking power, Hitler's personal decrees and those of his personally chosen cabinet banned capitalism and installed socialist political economy in Germany by the summer of 1933.

 @leftistadvocate9718 Hitler abolished private property rights on February 28, 1933, genius.

@rust9542 I said "private property rights" were eliminated. The decesis of a government as to when or by whom a right may be used is an abrogation of that right, altogether. The nazis had a better understanding of political science than you and eliminated capitalism in Germany within months using these techniques which fly far above your head because of lacking attention or exposure to civics and political science on your part.

@rust9542 You're just intimidated by the sort of English you would have to have read in order to be informed about this topic. For example, I read Nazi Economics of Avraham Barkai, the highest cited scholarly work on nazi political economy and it didn't use baby talk to describe nazi collectivism and socialist institutional design (which nazis duplicated from Lenin).

3rd Reich's economy was dominated by the state and your belief otherwise shows you to be a complete ignoramus. For example, the state and not Krupp, decreed laws which banned capitalism and installed a socialist command economy. For another example, by the late 30s, Hitler's German government, and not Krupp, owned the world's largest enterprise, the Reichswerke Hermann Göring.

@kylemendoza8860 This is ignorant. Race is the predominant class ever used by socialists in their philosophy. It was famously used by 3rd Reich, debunking any claims of no class concern by the naxis. It is also a mistake to presume of any socialist idea that equality is in mind. Socialism is specifically an unequal treatment in economics in order to favor a specific class. This is due to collectivism specifically being the dominance of an ingroup over outgroups using social economic policy [Tönnies]. For example, Karl Marx who you have claimed to be some egalitarian instead desired to forcefully take economic control from wealthy classes and enfranchise working classes with it by excluding the freedoms of society to pursue pluralism in how productivity is achieved.

All socialists are ideological killers. This proves 3rd Reich was socialist more than it disproves it. NSDAP popularized national socialism in Germany; they did not pretend to be national socialists to secure preexisting popularity from this philosophy. The first major policies recorded by 3rd Reich were specifically to affect a transition of the mode of production to a socialist means and this debunks any poorly informed claim of socialism in name only.

No. "Socialism" refers to racist German and French ideas of antisemitic economics. Germans in the 1920s and 30s knew exactly what was meant by socialism and national socialism.

No. It is incompetent to attempt this generalization based on the alliances of WW2. Philosophy matters and the national socialist and fascist philosophical traditions have different roots and opposite conclusions. For example, Mussolini will go down in history as having orchestrated the largest state bailout of capitalism of all time and Hitler for converting the only developed social democracy ever turned to socialist political economy and means of production.

Big companies did not benefit from 3rd Reich. Most were in complete ruins in 1945, genius.

Naxis were socialist and this made them the worst regime in the history of western Europe. Resulting from what your simple mind thought were good ideas, Germany was reduced in size by 70% and was flattened by several billion pounds of explosives.

Not an argument.

Socialist policy will not give away things to families. Socialist policy will put collectivist ideas in government and take control of the economy to favor a clearly defined ingroup. You may study 3rd Reich history and learn that socialist policy was the highest priority of 3rd Reich and that they eliminated capitalism and instituted socialism within months of being in power.

Ukraine has several openly nazi fighting units.

Read a book. Socialism is a political economic philosophy advocating collectivist government in control of the economy. This is what H and the Ns intended since the 1920s and once in power, socialism was what the nazis installed by decree within months.

Race is the predominant class of human history.

...and Lenin...
2
@ihaveachihuahau Germans like Marx and Hitler referred to race by "nation", "national" and "international". These were not references to country per sae. For example H and the Ns saw Germany as one nation and several countries (Germany, Austria, Sudatenland...) which needed to be unified.

"Socialism" was 100% right wing in both Germany and France until Karl Marx debuted his communist partisanship as a left wing movement during March Revolution. Any other anarchist or socialist was an antisemitic (ethnic) nationalist - no exceptions. No exceptions, for example, Marx's own judenfrage piece advocated for the same right winged racial nationalism applied to economics as all these others.
2
@liubei3058 No exceptions, class clown. All Christian socialist parties are older than marxist parties. Most still exist. They are all still on the right, including and especially in Germany. "Communism" is the only left wing socialism and came after socialism and anarchism was well established on the right wing of French and German politics. See hegelian tradition - all right wing until the left hegelians and Marx 30+ years later.

@liubei3058 Marriage has nothing to do with the history of socialist partisanship in Europe.

No. Your dream nazi was still a nazi.

This claim of yours shows with crystal clarity that you have not read any reputable historian on this topic. For example, John Lucacz, "Hitler of History" (historiography), rightly claims a conflation between fascism and national socialism is incompetent. These are two different philosophical traditions and they maintained nearly opposite conclusions, specifically on economics. Next, the single most cited scholarly work on this topic, Dr Avraham Barkai's "Nazi Economics:..." - most cited by far, the source of most of our knowledge about 3rd Reich economics - is certain to break down the national socialist philosophical tradition and the decrees of 3rd Reich which advocated for socialist political economy and which banned capitalism and installed socialist command economy within months of the nazis taking power. Even Shirer's casual reading, "Rise and Fall", documents "National Socialist Revolution", as the nazis named it. Kershaw, Tooze, Dr Otto Nathan (professor Weimar econ minister), Dr Charles E Noyes (professor, US envoy to Potsdam Conference) are among other 'reputable' historians who falsify your ignorant claim.

Not an argument.

@Psalm1828light calling "far right" "right" is the issue you are having. It's not that far right is mistaken for the seat of radical nationalism. That's history you'll need to accept.

Nazi economics was imitated Lenin's war communism and NEP, not Stalin's USSR. That is what Hitler and Strasser argued about.

 @donovanmeintjes8446 Middle class is an American socialist buzzword for white people. National socialism, incidentally.

Nazis were a racist movement before the holocaust.

Socialism is banned by the US constitution's commerce clause, 4th, 5th and 10th Amendments. Hitler ended private property rights in Germany, banned commodity exchange and banned private unions/guilds which controlled the German labor component of the means of production, competitively, since the middle ages.

Cut the BS. The nazis threatened socialist political economy since bier hall putsch, then banned capitalism and installed socialism in Germany by their first summer in office. All their laws are still available for review and this economy is potentially the most studied of all time.

US New Deal introduced fascist (Italy) institutions into US government, but they were banned by the war (Schecter case). United States has never been socialist and Germany was socialist between 1933 and 1945. United States famously used capitalism to prevail in WW2.
1
The context of Marxist socialism is still the domination of minorities by majorities. After Marx's advocacy for socialism on the same racist basis as Hitler, it's naive to claim his dogwhistling after March Revolution was any major departure from Germany's antisemitic socialist tradition.
1
National socialism was socialism before there was marxism. Both are defined the same way - collective ownership of the means of production. Whereas Marx was a bigoted German antisemite who employed French dogwhistles to appeal to Germans, Hitler was direct about it like so many others in the national socialist traditions of Germany, Austria and France.

Stalin had the idea of total state ownership, whereas Marx and Lenin had a dictatorship approach which used authority rather than ownership.

It was developed from Leninist New Economic Policy of the 1920s

Scandanavian countries are social democracies. They have less political democracy than the US because they are parliaments. United States is a polity where people don't demand their government dole like skandies who spent centuries living off of benevolent monarchs.

Who cares? Bolshevism is socialism an presents the same bigotry to a broader outgroup.

You people have poor reading discipline.
