its a cringeworthy lenin quote about fascism
Lenin never said that
It comes from the fourth international IIRC
^^^
It came from the comintern yeah
During lenin’s time fascism was pretty hip and new and Lenin’s ONLY comment about fascism was it was just Hegelian babbling
Obv untrue
it's a fairly unanimous attitude about fascism from communists at the time
... and since then
some shit about how fascism is typically supported by capitalists when things get bad enough
not that fascism isnt its own ideology etc, just that its been supported by capitalists historically
And?
communism was supported by millionaires as well
The pot calling the kettle black!
Thalmann was supported by the unemployed and Hitler was supported by the working poor.
Majority of the nsdap wealth came from membership charges and book sales.
Would really like to see a breakdown of NSDAP income streams
And if possible other Weimar parties like the KPD etc
I would
going to be honest didn't read this book but the source is "German Big Business and the Rise of Hitler" by Henry Turner. Basically after looking at receipts it came down to small buisness owners, typical members, and the sales of mein kampf.
Who Voted for Hitler? by Richard F. Hamilton is about voting patterns. basically rural voted hitler. Employed yet poor voted hitler. Protestants voted hitler. All economic strata had a segment voting hitler from junkers to unemployed. Also veterans voted hitler
The Nazi movement crossed class barriers
true
why won't socialists stfu about meetings with industrialists
cherrypicking to support their narrative
junkers/aristocrats perfered conservative authoritarians and unemployed liked kpd more
harzburg front helped the nazis as well with the aristocrat support
this book also disproves frankfurt school theories like petite borgeoise got hitler in power.
socialists will do the highest level of mental gymnastics to deny this
Most industrialists support hitler because of idealogical reasons not economic. like leftists will being up henry ford even though he lost money through his support of hitler. He just hated jews
Rich nationalists would perfer to save there country than to get more money
a lot of leftists can't conceive of history by any other lens but the most vulgar economic determinism
Moscow industrialists gave money to Bolsheviks
I think Hitler even made an argument that when one is rich one can afford to care about his country while the poor only care about daily bread
Still he didn't go far enough with his socialist policies
So? It's obv stuff after WWII
His primary goal was to win first
He went good enough.
Smh (shaking my head) when the war economy isn't socialist
Nazbols when Hitler doesn’t seize the entire economy leading to years of political and economic instability and rather chooses Keynesian policies like the Mefo bills inorder to mobilize the economy
