Putting the Socialism Back Into National Socialism
The idea that Nazism was an extreme form of “capitalism” and Hitler primarily a tool serving the interests of “big business” is a longstanding myth that even now retains a measure of popularity in some quarters. This, despite the fact that the full name of the Nazi Party was the National Socialist German Workers’ Party, and that Nazi political strategy was explicitly based on combining the appeal of socialism with that of nationalism (thus the choice of name). Once in power, the Nazis even went so far as to institute a Four Year Plan for running the German economy, modeled in large part on the Soviet Union’s Five Year Plans.
B-Rod: Now I never thought that Nazism was any form of Capitalism, nor had I heard any stories about people thinking it was. However, if retards who believe that are out there, then they need to be edumacateded.
