Ok, I feel that National Socialism (totally separate from the race part) was a good middle ground between Communism (no private ownership) and Unbridled Capitalism(totally open - no social programs - winner take all). Brother, Hitler tried to wipe out Communism from Europe by killing every Communist he could find and invading Russia. The Nazis ran a state capitalist economy. That is, they loved capitalism provided they were the ones in charge of who could or could not enter the market. Mussolini did a similar thing in Italy. What these people (i.e. Hitler and Mussolini) did is seize the capitalist markets for themselves. They had absolutely fuck all to do with Communism. Either of them. 1

STATE CAPITALISM is communism No it isn't. Communism intends to abolish the state entirely. You have to stop letting capitalists arbitrarily interpret communism for you. National Socialism was about still owning individual property and business and free market No it wasn't. The Nazis decided who was and was not permitted to benefit from the market. For example, the Nazis acquired many Jewish businesses which they then used for their own benefit. 1

STATE CAPITALISM is communism That is oxymoronic. Capitalism is a system where private owners control the means of production, communism is when the means of production are owned by no one and everyone access to them. Many would argue that the Soviet system among others was state capitalism, but the Soviet system was not communist either way. The USSR was founded with the goal of setting up communism, and was run by a communist party, but it never claimed to have achieved communism, it was technically a "socialist republic". Also keep in mind this is a primitive form of Marxist socialism which never progressed passed the "communist party takes over and sets up semi-socialist economy while still maintaining a central government system to keep order" phase. National Socialism was about still owning individual property and business and free market. National Socialism was about making false promises to progressive germans and disguising a Fascist political takeover as a grass roots movement meant to help the working man. Fascism is the true state capitalism, the state owns everything but they still allow some capitalists to operate. Socialism part was about healthcare and education and some government type programs. Socialism is not about government programs and welfare, socialism is about making sure everyone has equal rights and opportunities. The government-loving semi-capitalist socialism you speak of is a poor example of what socialism would ideally look like. |
