The German Labour Front showed just how much Hitler loved the working man. Among its actions were the end of unions, strikes and collective bargaining.
Sounds like a straight up socialist to me. Dude it was in the title of his political party so it must be true.
I actually have read that book and did it quite recently. It would seem to me that one of his main goals with it was to distinguish National Socialism from Marxist Socialism. I didnāt see any real similarity to Republican policy in that book at all. He went to great lengths to explain his hatred of capitalism and regarded Americans as quite weak for living under it, while he regarded the Bolsheviks as quite strong for embracing socialism.
The quote you lifted does nothing to support your argument either. Meine Deutsch may be rusty, but google translator shows that heās talking about the state seizing private property.
āBut Hitler crushed the trade unions!ā Yes, exactly like the Soviet Union and every other socialist dictatorship did. Workers had ZERO control over business operations in any of those places. It is par for the course. In National Socialism, they all got rolled up into the state under the DAF, which was one of the largest unions in history with four times the membership of the Nazi party itself.
Crushing the unions is a feature of socialism, not a bug.
Which economic policy of National Socialism do you find more similar to Republicans than Democratic Socialists of today? Was it the central economic planning? The rent controls? The wage controls? The price controls? Was it the men with guns who came to your business to take it over if you defied the state, like what happened to Junkers?
Was it the nationalized healthcare they had?
For someone who transcends all political labels like yourself, you sure seem like a plain old socialist to me with most of what youāve written over the years. You all say the same thing, over and over.
Thatās not REAL socialism!
Another book I suffered through was The Vampire Economy. I skimmed a good chunk of it, but it is a PRIMARY SOURCE documentation of what it was like to do business under National Socialism, written by a COMMUNIST in 1939.
Historians have been quite busy since you underwent your Marxist indoctrination. This is exactly what I was talking about in my post. None of the old Marxist narratives are holding up to scrutiny, the same way all of their policies have for over 100 years now. A bunch of the narratives originated with Nazis in prison after the war who wrote self-serving memoirs, which are the LEAST reliable historical sources.
It is no wonder your energy for disagreeing with me is endless. Youāre an indoctrinated Marxist.
The craziest thing about this whole conversation is that people really believe shit like this.

After diving back into the subject I have come to the conclusion that Mein Kampf was banned not because it makes Nazis look good, but because it makes socialists look bad.
And here we are today, with race based socialism making a comeback.
It is similar to how Marxists lumped National Socialism in with Italian fascism, even though they were quite different.
They never point out that Austrian fascists banned National Socialism before the annexation by Germany.
The whole socialist narrative continues to crumble. WWII was the most lied about event in history.

I think he believes it. All parroted quips he canāt think through critically. Probably spends a lot of time in algorithm driven online communities and hangs out with other failures blaming society when he is out and about as feedback loops.

From the Jews. Why did you leave that part out? Why leave out the part where he said they support private ownership (except for Jews)?
Just like Republicans want to. Do Democrats want to? You donāt help yourself with your position. You claim Democrats are like the Nazis but you just highlighted how they are different.
Is that a third party?
Given your ignorance, Iām not surprised by that.
You canāt trigger me, yet you keep trying. Go back to worshipping Elonā¦ oh waitā¦

Denying someone medical treatment is not killing them. Their own body is killing them. That isnāt murder.
Youāre acting like modern medicine has always existed and people have a right to these highly sophisticated, extremely costly treatments in the same way that they have a right to food and water. This stuff is expensive and there is no way to handle the cost without denying some people treatment.

The antisemitism had nothing to do with that, of course.
Care to support that with facts?
Is it right to deny someoneās claim, not because it isnāt covered but because you simply want to delay payment? Thatās the point. Itās people who have been paying for coverage having legitimate claims denied.
Your child is dying. Your insurance has AI deny the claim. Your child dies and then your insurance says ooops, your covered. But itās too late. Iām sure youāll be ok with that. I mean, your kid essentially committed suicide.

The problem isnāt capitalism itself. During the Progressive Era in the 1920s, the United States realized that the only way for capitalism to work is if companies are regulated. Thatās why we have an eight-hour workday and a host of other employee protections. Itās also why we are entitled the know the ingredients of our food, among many other consumer protections.
Businessmen, and millionaires in particular, will always try to circumvent these regulations to make more money because they are greedy and selfish. It is the governmentās job, as the representative of the people, to protect the people from the greed of corporations. The government is completely failing to do that right now, which is why, among other things, so many American jobs are being sent to third-world countries. They do the work much cheaper and are not protected in the same way as Americans. In India an young accountant girl was recently worked to death, and her bosses blamed her for it. The government should be stopping offshoring, but isnāt.
What Luigi Mangione did was wrong and unjustified, but it is symptomatic of a larger problem. That is why so many people supported him: it doesnāt really have to do with healthcare specifically, but with corporate greed. If Elon Muskās and Vivek Ramaswamyās H1B plans are implemented during the Trump administration, I would be surprised if they got assassinated as well. I would condemn it also, but I must admit that they would get less sympathy from me than this CEO has/

Your Marxist narratives are simply absurd. They supported āprivateā ownership as long as you were in complete lockstep with their goals. Otherwise, men with guns from The State came in to take it from you. Just like a free market, right? In no way were businesses free to operate in Nazi Germany. Here is but one example.
āWhen the Nazis came into power in 1933, they requested Junkers and his businesses aid in the German re-armament. When Junkers declined, the Nazis placed him under house arrest in 1934 and eventually seized control of his patents and company. He died the following year. Under Nazi control, his company produced some of the most successful German warplanes of the Second World War.ā
Of course Hitler, like Democratic Socialists, was a racist and it was through race, not class, that National socialism distinguished itself from the Bolsheviks. Otherwise, they were quite similar. Donāt ask me, take Hitlerās word for it. Heās making the argument for race, not class here.
Sorry you spent so much time getting indoctrinated bro.
Plus, I just want to make sure we keep in mind it isnāt the insurance companies declining treatment. They donāt provide medical care. Or set prices for it.
And? Thatās socialism or a totalitarian government demanding a company help in the war effort?
Youāre such a girl.
You know full well that it doesnāt consider itself to be a political party.
Now I know you are a Democratic Socialist. Iām 100 percent positive of it. It actually explains your entire presence here these years.
DYEL?
They are denying legitimate claims as a matter of policy.
