      Nazi Germany did nothing like that, absolutely the opposite. Reliable/regime loyal capitalists were rewarded with disowned companies from Jews and other enemies of the Nazi state, if they were not loyal, they ended up disowned themselves and one of the Nazi "Bonzen" got enriched by being made head of the new nationalized property.
      There is nothing socialist in that policy.
      They also were violently opposed to Unions and murdered union leaders before they created their own pseudo union to replace them, a Union that no longer represented worker's rights, but enforced loyalty to the State. Still not Socialist.

      @A Scam Involving Corndogs My reading of it was always that the Nazis had no real economic convinctions beyond power and what was the most expedient way to that power. Sometimes it was entertaining capitalism, sometimes it was nationalization. To frame then as having any real ideological economics stance is sort of unfair because their entire ideology was racial and economics was just a means to an end. To frame them as "anti capitalist" is like, sure, but only because every now and again the capitalists got in their way. If they were "Pure Aryan" and were party members, "Cool!" They were only concerned with achieving lebensraum.
      One could argue the end goal of Nazism was complete nationalization of industry, but I'd argue they seriously didn't really think that shit through well enough to have a post-lebensraum society. I might have a blind spot in my knowledge tho.
      Indeed, sometimes they would call Jewish people Capitalists, sometimes Communists. Nazis don't give a shit about hypocrisy.

      Wasn't there a civil war in Germany immediately after WW1 involving tons of far left movements and far right freikorps and mercenaries fighting each other? Including the creation of a country that lasted a very brief time called the Bavarian Socialist Republic? The Nazi party rose out of the far right freikorps groups, and adopted the worker-friendly imagery of the far left to court more appeal for the lower class. To say that the far right and left who had just been fighting in the streets a decade earlier literally represent the same party in the NSDAP would seem a bit silly.

      Thank you for being open minded about this.
      Now, authoritarian governments are not an inherently socialist thing, despite what many americans believe. Socialism just requires collective ownership of industry, meaning everybody in a workplace is considered an owner of that workplace, unlike in capitalism where workplaces are owned and controlled by only a few bosses or shareholders. This doesn't require a strong state necessarily. There are in fact many socialists that identify as libertarians or anarchists, or who want a free market to distribute goods instead of a central govt body.
      Some famous anti-authoritarian socialists include Noam Chomsky, Peter Kroptkin, Rosa Luxembourg and Nestor Makhno.
      I wanted to clear this up. Being pro-authority doesn't mean you're pro-socialism, and vice versa.
      If that were the case, chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet would be a socialist, and he was an outspoken anti-communist who shaped his countries after neoliberal super-capitalist principles.
      Hitler also had a lot of negative things to say about the economics of the left in his book "Mein Kampf". Chapter 2 was literally about how marxism, the economic framework that birthed socialism, is a jewish plot to destroy the world and ignores fundamental parts of humanity.
      In the same chapter he talked about how social democrats are manipulative crooks with an ideology not grounded in reality.
      And as this video explained, the nazis did have a bunch of socialists in their party before they came to power, but they were purged in the "night of the long knifes".
      The nazis were opposed to socialism AND the free market, since they thought both were a threat to their nationalist culture, so what they settled on was an authoritarian state capitalist/corporatist economy.
      The other vids by this youtuber explained that a bit further.
      The nazis were not socialist just because they were authoritarians, or because they had "socialist" in their name. That was merely a misnomer.
      I think it's very good people like you are willing to learn.

      *However, the assumption that because the word “socialist” appeared in the party’s name and socialist words and ideas popped up in the writings and speeches of top Nazis then the Nazis must have been actual socialists is naive and ahistorical. What the evidence shows, on the contrary, is that Nazi Party leaders paid mere lip service to socialist ideals on the way to achieving their one true goal: raw, right-wing totalitarian power*
      Yes, the Nazis were indisputably Right-Wing
      Sometimes the claim is bandied about that the Nazis were a left-wing party on economic questions, perhaps because the Nazis were called “National socialists”. This is flatly and completely wrong and a form of pseudo-historiography. Here’s why:
      The Nazi party was built on right-wing voters and a right-wing support base:
      There are many disputes about the nature of Hitler’s voting base. What isn’t under dispute though is that prior to voting Nazi, Nazi voters voted for centre-right and far-right parties, or didn’t vote at all. Support for the Nazis did not come from disaffected left-wing or centre-left voters, but from right-wing voters frustrated with the existing parties of the right.
      In my view this point alone is decisive. The meaning of right-wing and left-wing is not an ahistorical abstraction, it’s created by the behaviour of people and institutions. The right-wing citizens of Germany implicitly recognised the Nazis as right-wing by voting for them, case closed.
      Read more about which parties Nazi voters defected from here: gking.harvard.edu/files/gking/files/nazivp.pdf
      2. The Nazis literally invented privatisation:
      The Nazis were responsible for huge privatisation programs. The extent of their privatisations was enormous, but it was particularly vast when compared with other countries at the time, who were generally moving in the opposite direction. The privatisations of Nazi Germany may indeed have been the first mass privatisations of public property in history and included “Steel, mining, banking, shipyard, ship-lines, and railways.” More on how Nazis bucked historical trends by privatising when no one else was here: www.ub.edu/graap/nazi.pdf
      3. Nazi policies greatly increased income inequality:
      Income inequality spiked under Hitler, as was observed even at the time. More here: piketty.pse.ens.fr/files/capitalisback/CountryData/Germany/Other/Pre1950Series/RefsHistoricalGermanAccounts/Sweezy39.pdf
      4. Capital as a share of factor income also spiked under Hitler, at the expense of wages:
      Factor income describes the division between the factors of production, with land receiving rent, capital receiving profit and labour receiving wages. The capital share, or profit as a proportion of total income, increased by about 50% in Nazi Germany and was much higher than the US’s capital share at the time. See the below graph from Capital in the Twenty-First Century reproduced in a Jacobin article by Corey Robin:
      I’m sorry if there’s not much in the way of Belles-lettres here. If I am blunt it is for a purpose. The Nazis were right-wing. Anyone who tells you otherwise is wrong, much in the same way it is wrong to say that the world is flat, six-thousand years old, or made of cheese.

    The reason the Nazis made kindergarten and school free to use was not because they were socialists. The reason was that it allowed them to hit two birds with one stone: the parents could continue to work - and they'd have the children from their youngest age to indoctrinate them with Nazi ideology, teach them all the necessary skills and knowledge to contribute to advancement of the Arian race, and pick the best candidates for the next generation of Nazi leadership.

      @Matthew Stewart i was commenting the syllogism fallacy i see here and also as a additon to it showed the comments lacking definition of system and weird conclusion of system here as reductive and downright. presumptious. beacuse it assumes without proving that education becomes left leaning beacuse of its system, rather then by acknowledging the possibility that people aquiring alot of knowledge becomes left leaning due to their knowledge or by the mentality that comes becuse of aquiring alot of knowledge. (or by studying alot, whatever term you wanna use for the activites concerning those considerd educated)
      socialist to set up a system? every political ideologi is the idea of setting up a system of the distribution of power. even if education was so anarchistic to say "read whatever" that in its self is a system of education. you even use "mentorship system" a SYSTEM. also, alexander the great? taught under aristoteles, who himself was taught under platos school, or "academy" and aristoteles open a school himself beacuse of the recommendation of alexander. so your great general also liked systems, his mentor taught under a system.
      system isnt bad or political, it is just a descriptive word, not a euphemism for socialist or do you say you think alexander the great was a socialist?
      and before you say "i said systemic instruction not systems" setting up a system is instructing on how something should work so "systemic instruction" is just redundant use of words or in this case framing it as pedantic, "too controling", as "socialism"
      since you are suggesting i am reasoning here why that suggestion does not work. or why considering "systems" belongs to a specific party shows more personal opinion of said word rather than it being politcal partisan. althought systems can be biased but that is then the construction of said system to be so rather than the existance of a system. so what you should argue is that the educational system of whatever country you are using as template is socialistic, not that a system exist therefore it is socialistic.
      edit: if you mean system in its more socialily used meaning rarther than the definitial use of the word, remember internet around the globe. the social use of a word is more situational and therefore easily to misinteprate. especially where there isnt a defined group. specify it if so.

I remember his video called "Yes, Hitler was a liberal socialist...". And as a German I can attest to you, that our Neo-Nazis (and definetly the original Nazis) would strongly disagree with such a statement. His arguments indicate a profound lack of understanding on just about anything and show how he simply projects ideas he doens't agree with on the Nazis in order to discredit them. Here are few examples:
    Hitler introduced universal healthcare and build up the german welfare state
    No he didn't. Bismarck did that under Kaiser Wilhelm. Kaiser Wilhelm the first mind you, the one that died in 1888. So this system actually predates Hitler's own birth.
    "Hitler was radically pro abortion"
    This is such a gross missunderstanding of the actual goals of nazi social policies, that I don't even know what to say except that the exact opposite is true. "Arian" mothers with four children or more were celebrated as heros and even awarded with medals for fucks sake.
    Hitler introduced gun control
    He actually made guns much more accesible for the general population. How does Crowder think the whole "rearmament" thing went along? German gun control laws were first introduced after WW1 in order to fulfill the conditions of the Treaty of Versailles - the treaty that the Nazis were so vehemntly opposed to.
    Do I need to go on? His arguments clearly show that he is absolutely clueless about both history and politics and just makes stuff up that fits his narrative.
    His narrative in this case basically amounts to: Democratic Socialism = Socialism (or Communism or whatever) = National Socialism, therefore Bernie Sanders = Hitler.

The whole of National Socialism is based on it.’Why’, I asked Hitler, ‘do you call yourself a National Socialist, since your party program is the very anthesis of that commonly accredited to Socialism?’
      ‘Socialism’, he retorted, putting down his cup of tea, ‘is the science of dealing with the common weal [health or well-being]. Communism is not Socialism. Marxism is not Socialism. The Marxians have stolen the term and confused its meaning. I shall take Socialism away from the Socialists.

If you go by how China actually operates economically, they look moderate-far right wing like the United States. This is the big issue with trying to label things as "left" and "right."

    "Mmm. I dunno. Hitler was Socialist because he said he was." Which is fantastically hilarious. Because now you have to wonder is it lack of education where they try to debate with an already debunked argument? Is it ignorance because they refused to listen to a 42 minute long video because it doesn't adhere to their bias so it's not worth their time? Is it because they secretly worship Hitler and will 100% agree with what he says? Or is it because they want to keep up the facade until they try another insurrection? Probably all of the above.

  • @ashevillecat

    To sum it up in a few sentences: The Nazis added the word "socialist" to their party's name - against Hitler's objections - to appeal to the left leaning working class in order to draw them away from Communism and toward volkish nationalism. The Nazi version of socialism relied on redefining German society from the notion of "Reichsdeutsche" (citizens of the German Empire) to that of "Volksdeutsche" (Germans with regard to ethnicity or race, rather than citizenship). Drexler specified that the socialist platform was only meant to give social welfare to German citizens deemed part of the Aryan race.
    So no, Hitler and the NSDAP were NOT socialist in any sense it was or is used otherwise. It was no more socialist than the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is democratic.

      PauliBhoy is correct, there was no socialism in Nazi Germany.
      Socialism first and foremost is a system where the workers own the means of production and they themselves manage the enterprises. That has never happened under the Nazis, Hitler detested that with a passion. There was wide support for social policies, sure, but better access to healthcare, higher pensions, etc. is not socialism.
      Hitler toned down the anti-socialist / anti-communist rhetoric for a while when he courted the USSR so they could divide Europe between them easily. That was not an ideological pact tho, it was a pact between two countries that both felt screwed over by the rest. And even when the state took control of the whole economy in order to throw everything into the total war, they didn't do it because of socialism, they just had to. And the workers saw nothing from it.

      In the months after Hitler took power, SA and Gestapo agents went from door to door looking for Hitler’s enemies. They arrested Socialists, Communists, trade union leaders, and others who had spoken out against the Nazi party; some were murdered. By the summer of 1933, the Nazi party was the only legal political party in Germany. Nearly all organized opposition to the regime had been eliminated. Democracy was dead in Germany.
      However, the assumption that because the word “socialist” appeared in the party’s name and socialist words and ideas popped up in the writings and speeches of top Nazis then the Nazis must have been actual socialists is naive and ahistorical. What the evidence shows, on the contrary, is that Nazi Party leaders paid mere lip service to socialist ideals on the way to achieving their one true goal: raw, right-wing totalitarian power.
      Yes, the Nazis were indisputably Right-Wing
      Sometimes the claim is bandied about that the Nazis were a left-wing party on economic questions, perhaps because the Nazis were called “National socialists”. This is flatly and completely wrong and a form of pseudo-historiography. Here’s why:
      The Nazi party was built on right-wing voters and a right-wing support base:
      There are many disputes about the nature of Hitler’s voting base. What isn’t under dispute though is that prior to voting Nazi, Nazi voters voted for centre-right and far-right parties, or didn’t vote at all. Support for the Nazis did not come from disaffected left-wing or centre-left voters, but from right-wing voters frustrated with the existing parties of the right.
      In my view this point alone is decisive. The meaning of right-wing and left-wing is not an ahistorical abstraction, it’s created by the behaviour of people and institutions. The right-wing citizens of Germany implicitly recognised the Nazis as right-wing by voting for them, case closed.
      Read more about which parties Nazi voters defected from here: gking.harvard.edu/files/gking/files/nazivp.pdf
      2. The Nazis literally invented privatisation:
      The Nazis were responsible for huge privatisation programs. The extent of their privatisations was enormous, but it was particularly vast when compared with other countries at the time, who were generally moving in the opposite direction. The privatisations of Nazi Germany may indeed have been the first mass privatisations of public property in history and included “Steel, mining, banking, shipyard, ship-lines, and railways.” More on how Nazis bucked historical trends by privatising when no one else was here: www.ub.edu/graap/nazi.pdf
      3. Nazi policies greatly increased income inequality:
      Income inequality spiked under Hitler, as was observed even at the time. More here: piketty.pse.ens.fr/files/capitalisback/CountryData/Germany/Other/Pre1950Series/RefsHistoricalGermanAccounts/Sweezy39.pdf
      4. Capital as a share of factor income also spiked under Hitler, at the expense of wages:
      Factor income describes the division between the factors of production, with land receiving rent, capital receiving profit and labour receiving wages. The capital share, or profit as a proportion of total income, increased by about 50% in Nazi Germany and was much higher than the US’s capital share at the time. See the below graph from Capital in the Twenty-First Century reproduced in a Jacobin article by Corey Robin:
      I’m sorry if there’s not much in the way of Belles-lettres here. If I am blunt it is for a purpose. The Nazis were right-wing. Anyone who tells you otherwise is wrong, much in the same way it is wrong to say that the world is flat, six-thousand years old, or made of cheese.

      The overall point stands, though. Nazi 'seizing and redistribution" of property was quite different from what Marx proposed. For starters, until Germany entered full war economy, basically of property seizing was from undesirables: Jews, Communists, Slavs, dissidents. The average German businessmen were allowed to keep their companies, as long as they didn't explicitly oppose the NSDAP. Compare that to the actual seizing of the means of production proposed by Marx and implemented by the likes of Lenin, Stalin and Mao in their own dictatorships, and there is a very noticeable difference.

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.

The greatest minds of today are not working on this question because they already know the answer. There is absolutely nothing to work on with this question. In history it is crystal clear.

      Exactly. Hitler wasn't a socialist. He was a German nationalist and a fascist. If he was a leftist or a socialist, he wouldn't have invaded the USSR

      The greatest minds thing is meant to be a joke because Crowder, Shapiro and Dsouza are far from great minds

      Being a volkisch was not being a part of socialism? What do you think socialism is? Just because you don't like his brand of socialism doesn't mean he wasn't one. I don't like Pinochet's brand of capitalism with an authoritarian government, I don't say he didn't support a capitalist system though. Ironically, it was capitalism that gave the people the power to get rid of his Junta. The bottom up approach will eventually erode and destroy the top down authoritarianism.

      @@johnweatherby8718. No, being folkish is not Marxist socialism. Hitler created his own, non-Marxist, form of socialism that he called "Front Socialism" and that he later elaborated on as being folkish or as Hitler explained it, everything about National Socialism is about race or the Volk, or in other words, Social Darwinist.

    Honestly, someone who is so ignorant of socialist theory that he thinks ‘liberal socialism’ is a thing has no business deciding who is or isn’t a socialist.
