@bituminous3376 "fascism itself purported to be the perfect form of classic liberalism and democracy and a force for liberty but was nothing like that"
Wrong. They specifically and literally say that Fascism is the enemy of Classical Liberalism, democracy and liberty.
"Anti-individualistic, the Fascist conception of life stresses the importance of the State and accepts the individual only in so far as his interests coincide with those of the State, which stands for the conscience and the universal, will of man as a historic entity. It is opposed to classical liberalism which arose as a reaction to absolutism and exhausted its historical function when the State became the expression of the conscience and will of the people. Liberalism denied the State in the name of the individual; Fascism reasserts The rights of the State as expressing the real essence of the individual. And if liberty is to he the attribute of living men and not of abstract dummies invented by individualistic liberalism, then Fascism stands for liberty, and for the only liberty worth having, the liberty of the State and of the individual within the State. The Fascist conception of the State is all embracing; outside of it no human or spiritual values can exist, much less have value. Thus understood, Fascism, is totalitarian, and the Fascist State - a synthesis and a unit inclusive of all values - interprets, develops, and potentates the whole life of a people."

@theburgerboy5936 "One of the first acts of the Nazis in 1933 was to sell nearly every single state-enterprise in Germany to capitalists"
Wrong. They did no such thing and they sold nothing. On the contrary, they first thing they did was mass nationalization of the German industry, and later they reorganized all industries into corporations run by members of the Nazi Party. They called this nationalization as "Gleichschaltung", 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.
"To put it quite clearly: we have an economic programme. Point No. 13 in that programme demands the nationalisation of all public companies, in other words socialisation, or what is known here as socialism. … the basic principle of my Party’s economic programme should be made perfectly clear and that is the principle of authority… the good of the community takes priority over that of the individual. But the State should retain control; every owner should feel himself to be an agent of the State; it is his duty not to misuse his possessions to the detriment of the State or the interests of his fellow countrymen. That is the overriding point. The Third Reich will always retain the right to control property owners. If you say that the bourgeoisie is tearing its hair over the question of private property, that does not affect me in the least. Does the bourgeoisie expect some consideration from me?… Today’s bourgeoisie is rotten to the core; it has no ideals any more; all it wants to do is earn money and so it does me what damage it can. The bourgeois press does me damage too and would like to consign me and my movement to the devil.“

@theburgerboy5936 "and the official stance of the Nazi party on private property was that enterprise should be in private hands wherever possible."
Wrong. Even in Hitler's table talks on September 3, 1942, he said that land was “national property, and in the end only given to the individual as a loan.” Hitler only recognized private ownership insofar as it was used according to the principle “common benefit ahead of private benefit,” which means that if it was necessary in the common interest, the state had the right at all times to decide the way, the extent to which, and when private ownership was used, and the common interest was, of course, defined by the state. Not to mention, that private property rights were abolished via Reichstag fire decree on February 28, 1933.

@theburgerboy5936 "Which is consistent with that policy, state-enterprise was kept to a minimum and only used when absolutely necessary, and when it wasn't, it was privatized."
Wrong. National Socialism was all about state control over every aspect of people's lives, including businesses. This was also reported by the Time magazine back in the day.
"Most cruel joke of all, however, has been played by Hitler & Co. on those German capitalists and small businessmen who once backed National Socialism as a means of saving Germany's bourgeois economic structure from radicalism. The Nazi credo that the individual belongs to the state also applies to business. Some businesses have been confiscated outright, on others what amounts to a capital tax has been levied. Profits have been strictly controlled. Some idea of the increasing Governmental control and interference in business could be deduced from the fact that 80% of all building and 50% of all industrial orders in Germany originated last year with the Government. Hard-pressed for foodstuffs as well as funds, the Nazi regime has taken over large estates and in many instances collectivized agriculture, a procedure fundamentally similar to Russian Communism."
