All of the National Socialists were socialists. After all, You cannot be an advocate for centralized planning and strong government controls without being a socialist. That's what made Hitler a socialist. He may have been to the right from the Bolsheviks, but he was still a socialist leftist as he believed in strong central government control. Hitler outright declared himself a socialist in Mein Kampf, just not the Marxist international or full Soviet type. He struggled with HOW to distinguish his socialism from the rest of the Marxist crowd.

@AgiosOHoretchet " and Right wingers seek to Preserve Hierarchy and Useless Traditions (Including Capitalism)" You are now conflating right wing politics and conservatism. They are two completely different things.

@AgiosOHoretchet "Read about how Corporations and small buisness played a massive role in Hitler's Rise and Reign (Krupp industries being the most well-known)," German industry was nationalized and and Nazis later reorganized all industries into corporations run by members of the Nazi Party. Krupp was a government subsidiary for example. They even coined a word for their nationalization, "Gleichschaltung", which was a system of totalitarian control and coordination over all aspects of German society from the economy and trade associations to the media, culture and education.

Mussolini has never said such a thing. Common American misquote. There was no merging under Fascism and there was only State power. What you are referring to is known as Corporatocracy, a completely different thing.

"A strong State will see that production is carried on in the national interests, and, if these interests are contravened, can proceed to expropriate the enterprise concerned and take over its administration." - Hitler and I (1940), quotes from unspecified earlier dates per Otto Strasser, Boston, MA, Houghton Mifflin Company (1940) "Germany's economic policy is conducted exclusively in accordance with the interests of the German people. In this respect I am a fanatical socialist, one who has ever in mind the interests of all his people." - Speech on the 21st Anniversary of the National Socialist Party (24 February 1941)

"You were correct when you’d aid fasci sm was a reaction to soci alism," Actually that is incorrect. It was a reaction to marxi sm, not socia lism. According to Mussolini and other syndicalist theoreticians, Fas cism would be “the socia lism of ‘proletarian nations.’” Fasci sm was a soci alist ideology based on national syndicalism.

@AgiosOHoretchet "You do realize you're telling this to someone with a PhD in this? wtf are you waffling about? the overton window has been already reaching that point where those petty differentiations have already closed in and have become indistinguishable, For example Ron desantis endorsing a Black sun meme of himself and spewing rhetoric so similar to Trump (without any of the Charisma) and Trump has become also indistinguishable from the Christian Theocrats in office (PROJECT 2025)" You do realize that this video and topic in general has absolutely nothing to do with your stu pid American politics?

@AgiosOHoretchet "are you aware of any of the past 20 years ago are you stuck in 2004?" Sure, however your ramblings are irrelevant when it comes to the topic, which is German's National Socialism... not modern day American politics.

Not a comm unist, but a ma rxist.

@F.JuanPhan : Mo nar chy doesn't belong to the rig ht side on the political spectrum ... right side is advocating for de centrali zed pow er, while mon archy is just a form of dictato rship with central ized power.

@Mike Fay "Hitle ris m and At tila the H un is ri ght wi ng. M arx Len in and Trot sky is le ft wi ng." Hi tler wa s a so cial ist and not that far aw ay from m arxi sm, which he also was a propo nent of during 1919.

@davidparker527 : "Hi tler wasn’t a socia list " Incorrect. He opposed lib eral capit alism, but also international s ocialis m, hence the concept of a “third way,” his cen tralized eco nomic policies obeyed colle ctivist and socialist principles, openly oppos ing capit alism and the free ma rket, favo ring nationa lism and auta rchy. "The Revolution we have made is not a national revolution, but a Nati onal-Socia list Revolution. We would even underline this last word, "Soci alist." — Ad olf Hit ler, Attributed by Winston Churchill in Vol. 1 of The Sec ond World W ar. (1948)
1
@davidparker527 : "Hit ler believed in the national peoples community (Volksgemeinschaft) and based it on race, not class struggle." Correct, because he wasn't a mar xist and m arxis m is not a synonym for so ciali sm. Marx ism, just like fasc ism and nazi sm are different branches of soci alism.

@Southboundpachyderm "I have a fucking degree in political systems dog." Yet you do not even understand the difference between Socialism and Marxism.
1
@Southboundpachyderm "I think I have a pretty fucking good grasp of what is socialism and what isn’t" Nope. You don't. You think its just a synonym for Marxism.

"This man invented FASC ISM. He wasn’t a soci alist. He was a murderous dictator. " Incorrect. Mussolini was a soci alist. Fas cism was a soc ialist ideology based on national syndicalism. By definition, Mussolini wasn't a dictator since he didn't posses absolute power.

@FrostRare : Just a historical take, rather than beautiful.

@stepxurxgamexup "and hitler deliberately said he wanted to change the meaning of the word and reclaim it" Hitler never said he wanted to change the meaning. He specifically said that the Marxist have distorted the meaning of socialism and that he wants to reclaim it from the Marxists. However you should note, that Hitler wasn't even a Fascist. He was a National Socialist. Two different ideologies.

@jodylowe8476 What happened in Ch ile was pretty much the opposite of fasc ism, which was a soci alist ideology. While naturally they shared the dictatorial aspect, their end goals were the opposite.

@jodylowe8476 "Anyway, I think we can all agree he was evil. Right?" Correct. The end doesn't justify the means.

This has nothing to do with Far-Right nor Right wing in general.

"“Hitler angrily denounced Strasser’s socialism as ‘nothing but Marxism’. " Funny that Ian Kershaw doesn't mention the whole quote... might have something to do with the few lines in the beginning which people want to omit so badly. "I am a socialist, and a very different kind of socialist from your rich friend Reventlow. I was once an ordinary workingman... But your kind of socialism is nothing but Marxism. " - Hitler and I (1940), quotes from unspecified earlier dates per Otto Strasser, Boston, MA, Houghton Mifflin Company (1940)
