Why is having all businesses (and residences?) run by the state desirable?

Because we believe that private property exploits workers. For every pound I make, my boss makes £1,000, and he does nothing but sit down while I slave away. While he works maybe 1-4 hours, I work 7-9, maybe more, all the while he's figuring out a way to outsource me and leave me homeless. The result of my labour only serves him, not my people and my country. Landlords openly exploit the working class and students for their own monetary gain.

Interesting. What about private property like a family farm? How do new activities/factories/businesses get started? Who organizes projects and keeps them running properly?

These questions are very good and very important ones, and to be honest, I don't know. Unlike Marxists, we're not dogmatic. We understand that Socialism must match the time and conditions it exists in. Another confession, I'm not a good at economics. People better equipped than me will deal with that. Economics come second for me, at least in how they appear to the rest of the world. The happiness of my people is my main concern.

With National Bolshevism, you'd have to ask several Nationalist Socialists (not to be confused with Austrian Mustache man's philosophy). While we agree on the core ideas, we can differ on major ideas. The popular ideas win out in the end, and most of us would prefer not to hairsplit.

Well I can certainly get behind that. Hope your time at SaidIt helps advance that cause.

And thank you for explaining your position a bit more, I had heard the term "NazBol" before but didn't really know what it meant.

No problem.
