  1. So you have any actual arguments?
    11
  2. Tell me you didn’t watch the video without telling me you didn’t watch the video…

  3. Defend private property? They suspended it in 1933!
    5
  4. How so?
    5
  5. Yeah, and the Soviet union also killed socialists. So you can’t use that argument to prove or disprove wither the Nazis were socialist.
    5
  6. How so?
    5
  7. The problem is that video i easily refuted by TIK’s other videos.
    4
  8. How so?
    4
  9. Uh, Trotskyists and communists don’t want independent trade unions…
    4
  10.  @VolrinSeth so what definition of democracy are you using?
    4
  11.  @Elcollpohorrible in the Rickstang Fire decree they suspended private property rights, and without private property rights the government could take anything at any moment. With this the government had ultimate leverage over all business, effectively turning them into subsidiaries. Because if they ever refuse orders from the government, and boy did the government give them orders, their position as the “owner” would be taken from them and be given to someone more loyal. Basically the owners were middle managers in all but name.

  12. How is he wrong?
    4
  13. How so? Care to quote any of the incorrect statements?
    4
  14. My boy they were racial socialists, they believed that all German were equal in their race and that the Jews were oppressing them.
    4
  15. Well what is blatant fascism?
    4
  16.  @frankmiller721 so what is fascism?
    4
  17. ​ @frankmiller721  So how is fascism not a form of socialism by those definitions?
    4
  18.  @frankmiller721 I’m a libertarian, so I don’t lick boots. Now explain to be how they are opposites? Like nothing in the definitions you used preclude fascism from being socialism. Like reread them again and ask me in I’m being dishonest. I dare you.
    4
  19. How so?
    4
  20. Did you actually watch the video? Because he hates socialists, and he believes Hitler was a socialist.
    4
  21. It’s more like national socialism is socialism, but socialism isn’t national socialism.
    4
  22. How so?
    4
  23. What’s wrong about it?
    4
  24.  @Gvjrapiro  anyone who says a company being run by government officials is privatization doesn’t know that they are talking about.
    4
  25. When does socialism dislike the middle class?
    3
  26. What are you talking about? His goal was to create a socialist state for the German.
    3
  27.  @dantobarbarian4842 so fascism, an ideology created by ex-socialists and not supported by capitalists until it was about to win, was capitalisms last ditch effort to stay in power?
    3
  28.  @ClitoridectomyGroyper ​​⁠​⁠”the Nazis privatized industries” after suspending private property is that actually relevant?
    3
  29. So you didn’t watch the video?
    3
  30. Did you watch the video?
    3
  31.  @chrisschultz8598 so exactly like all other socialists?
    3
  32. Try again?
    3
  33.  @mcundy5680 so how would you disprove his claim?
    3
  34. ⁠ @mcundy5680 so you didn’t actually watch the video? Where all these arguments are addressed? The Nazis were race based socialists, not marxist class based socialists. They didn’t not promote private property, in fact they suspended it in 1933. Socialism isn’t just Marxism.
    3
  35.  @frankmiller721  Fascists call themselves socialists because they are socialists. Blatant fascism is a meaningless term.
    3
  36.  @jgmediting7770 considering how the video makes fun of Hitler and his ridiculous policies…
    3
  37. "why would he ban socialist and communist parties when they tried to stop him from taking over" I believe you answered your own question there. Hitler was a racial socialist, he believed in socialism for the working race, not the working class. Just like the Soviet Union, the nazis nationalized private unions, and band new ones from forming.
    3
  38. How so?
    3
  39. Can you show some of the contradictions?
    3
  40. So watch the five hour version where he does just that? Or will you stop and complain about how he’s defining words for a hour?
    3
  41.  @AYTM1200  so you acknowledge that socialist kill off and ban other socialists. So Hitler don’t the same thing don’t disqualify him as a socialist. Can you name anything else that makes him non-socialist?
    2
  42. The nazi economy was socialist years before the war.
    2
  43.  @Elcollpohorrible run for profits? You have a source for this?
    2
  44.  @maxschon7709  Buts that’s not the stab in the back theory, that theory stipulates that the rich German elites forced Germany to surrender so they could enrich themselves. So do you have evidence of the contrary?
    2
  45.  @rationalism_communism yeah, because he was a socialist, not a marxist.
    2
  46. How are they different?
    2
  47.  @frankmiller721 YouTube be banning my comments again, fun. But basically the definitions you provided describe fascism as being a socialist movement, you should really watch the video you’re commenting under instead of saying such ridiculous things.
    2
  48. So what is there to research?
    2
  49. You could say he was for socialism for the working race.
    2
  50. And TIK made a video more recently that covers all that.
    2
  51. I mean price commissars, nationalizing the trade unions, suspending private property. It’s beginning to look a lot like socialism.
    2
  52.  @PerunaMuayThai  is funny because you say sources on the one history YouTuber who actually uses those. Also isn’t it standard for socialists to kill off all rival socialists?
    2
  53.  @PerunaMuayThai is it really privately owned when the Nazis party choses who is employed, what they are paid, how much they can make, for what price they can sell and can switch out whoever is in charge with a loyal party member? Also forced employment? This was the Great Depression, getting a job was a good thing. The workers loved Hitler because he improved working conditions and wages so much that the reduction in liberty was worth it.
    2
  54.  @PerunaMuayThai  sources?
    2
  55.  @PerunaMuayThai  Do you have sources for any of your claims, because I do, they’re in TIK’s videos.
    2
  56.  @PerunaMuayThai That’s why TIK made these series of videos, he knows History is never settled. After looking at the sources he came to the conclusion that the experts at the time were wrong and were clouded by their own bias because the world wars were so recent. Like there was a major shift on the reporting of the Nazis and fascists from before the war and after it. Additionally you can’t trust their rivals just as much as you can’t trust them. The fact that TIK is challenging preconceived opinions is the point of history, because history lives in the debate.

  57. @hellothere6399 socialism isn’t egalitarian and it rarely cares for human rights. The only rights it cares for is for its in group, be that the working class or working race.
    2
  58. Yep, and Marxism was created by a jew(Marx) to divide the working people and keep then subservient.
    2
  59. How so?
    2
  60. Dam, so why do leftists constantly advocate for the expa of hierarchies?
    2
  61.  @deivicalter1529 where does this idea that the Nazis wanted to create a racial hierarchy come from? I don’t see it anywhere in their writings.
    2
  62. I mean, when you suspend private property rights first thing, and then use the lack of property rights to centrally plan the economy, I think it is pretty socialist.
    2
  63. You could say that for any socialism…
    2
  64.  @sandro9237  tell me you didn’t watch the video without telling me you didn’t watch the video…
    2
  65. @hellothere6399how so?
    2
  66. Did you actually watch the video? All of this was addressed.
    2
  67. Try again.
    2
  68. Yeah, this is one of his older videos on the topic ment to persuade Nazis of the socialist nature of their ideology.
    2
  69.  @Gvjrapiro my boy, just reading your comments is hilarious.
    2
  70. Not really, if he did as you say he also wouldn’t be as racist as he was. The rich elites didn’t like Hitlers antisemitism, so if he really was buddy’s with them the holocaust wouldn’t have happened.
    1
  71. How so?
    1
  72. @hellothere6399yeah, the Nazis wanted a more fair and equal society for the Germans…
    1
  73.  @AVhq11  more time then the person who made that video.
    1
  74. Yeah they weren’t socialist, they just nationalized the trade unions, established price controls, suspended private property, reinforced a welfare state.
    1
  75.  @FM-dm8xj  oh I agree, you might want to rephrase your original comment.
