It always cracks me up when progressives say that Nazism (National Socialism) was a conservative / political right problem.
And they just walk on by that word “socialism” in the name.
I can understand why they don’t want to own the Nazis as one of their own. But there you have it.
Why Nazism Was Socialism and Why Socialism Is Totalitarian
My purpose today is to make just two main points: (1) To show why Nazi Germany was a socialist state, not a capitalist one. And (2) to show why socialism, understood as an economic system based on government ownership of the means of production, positively requires a totalitarian dictatorship.
