But yeah no, after thinking about it in my head, Nazi Germany is literally the best example of Socialism working, and one could argue that it only succeeded because they were destroyed in war too soon for them to completely fail. Under the man with the postage-stamp moustache, Germany took control of a large part of their industry and started making products to the state's specifications (See: Command Economy). Nationalism did play a large part in the success of the Nazis (Just as it did in Russia up until Stalin started pushing for more satellite nations). They saw massive increases in overall quality of life, happiness, and technological improvements because Hitler saw that the first thing that was necessary to pave out a sucecssful future for Germany was a new infrastructure, cars and planes to take advantage of it, and then eventually military technologies and tactics that would eventually lead to scientific breakthroughs the world had never seen.
