  • There is no freedom of speech.

  • There is no way for the people to vote out corrupt political officials.

  • It is a totalitarian form of government. The government intrudes on every aspect of the personal and the nation. This can have negative results if the government makes a series of bad decisions or the people in power are morally corrupt. In other governments, people can live under a corrupt regime with it barely affecting their own social lives and community.

  • There are no examples of national socialism in peace time that was not in preparation for a war. How does the government organize its youth during peace time? If it is just national boy scouts, I don't see a problem but The Hitler Youth were training boys to want to enlist in the military when they became adults. This is not a great idea because it sends a bad message to other nations that are hostile against yours. If they believe you are going to war with them in the future, they might attack you first with a pre-emptive strike or a self defense war. What face your country puts out to others is important, especially if you want to participate in global trade.

You seem to forget that National Socialism has something called FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES, which our ahem, "democracies" don't. Our systems are based on pure power. NatSoc is based on traditional values. In a Christian nation this means Christian values.

It is very possible to enshrine traditional values in your government without national socialism. You just need to have mandates that can't be altered, not be ruled by judges and have your media and culture held hostage by a hostile foreign group.
