    Lol imagine living in a world where you're afraid of factories and plastic bags but Nazis are something you idolize...

    Also, Nazis were socialist only in name.

    The Nazis were National Socialist, which is a specific form of Socialism in which the means of production are largely privately-owned, but the economy is centrally-planned. Anyone who opposed Hitler's regime would be stripped of their property, and then it would be given to someone more loyal — and anyone who wanted to keep their property would obey his four year plans.

    Yes. Usually when people refer to the Nazis as socialist they're trying to talk down socialists.

    The Nazis were socialist, but I don't like how people use that as an argument to discredit the entirety of Socialism — it ain't too hard to find actual arguments against it.

    In Germany, capitalists were allowed to "voluntarily" join the revolution.
    This way, they had recruited many not idiots and become the most efficient socialist country.
    But, their supply of not idiots would have dyed out after one generation.
    Even without the war, their future would have been the same.

     

    And don't even joke about them giving up the power after the victory. No state does this.

    Nazis had many social programs. Secondly, you do not have to be a nazi to take from national Socialism or Federism. Have you read Feder or Schact?
