These articles are weird

It says that nazis were far right

But then says that they were based in liberal democracy

that's because the far right label is entirely contradictory

For gods sake, Hitler busted the unions so he could *socialize* the goddamn economy.

It also says that liberal democracy is like western democracy

GG @Send_Noodles??, you just advanced to level 3!

You realize that the political spectrum is shitty because it doesn’t show the difference between economy

And with society

You can be economically left while being societally right and Vice verse

So basically citizens were able to go into the open market and they also had freedoms like American

Except that the Nazi's weren't even socially right wing all that much

But then the nazis were still able to take away personal freedoms of the citizens

Unless you're referring to something else

<:waitwhat:583236680903950355> nazis are weird

Yeah thats, kind of a big thing to forget about the nazis

The neo nazis today refer to themselves as liberals and leftists

but at the same time they did things that would be considered progressive today

But still practice basic right wing practices

like fucking animal rights, for one

This is why just branding them as being *entirely* far right is kind of retarded

All it really does is allow the person using it to try and pull the "what are you, supporting the Nazis" card

Nazis actually didn't believe in, right wing or left wing... It was just Germany and they wanted to expand

Sort of. They took advantage and used parts of both sides to advance and to maintain power

That's why left wing and right wing don't make sense in Europe

That's what they did with capitalism

Hoenstly I'd make the argument that they had more left than right in them.

They took the good parts of capitalism and used it in fascism economy

Also the differences in the political spectrums across countries should be accounted for

If it was just entirely socialist they would have lost the war early

That's why American politics is easier

Also the economy wasn't really capitalistic, it was socialized from what i recall

The economy was under the control of the party

Isn't that state capitalism?

Like modern China

They were capitalist but not enough to call themselves a capitalism country because nazis hated capitalism(because of America)

?????

I don't understand the economics of nazi Germany

Basically, it's a mix of socialism and capitalism

But more socialism

So it wasn't a lie when they called themselves socialists?
