At some point
@Deleted User Where has that been the case?
Hitler was a massive shill for capitalists.
Well, America's rapid growth in the early 20th century before large scale corporate consolidation and larger corruption.
I don't think there's any examples of "pure capitalism" historically, that's more of an Ancap theory.
And I wouldn't exactly call Hitler a capitalist, but he allowed his market to grow fairly freely and focused on creating a powerful worker's union with worker's rights in terms of socialism.
all citizens of germany at that time were also given socialistic benefits
including women who are child bearing
Hitler was a darwinist, a naturalist and that's a big reason why he didn't like to go full socialist after the fascist revolution in Germany
its also pretty difficult to be a capitalist when your economy is nationalistic
There was major nationalist portions of the KPD.
what capital is there to maximize when u are trying to individualize the german economy
I mean you're pretty wrong on that.
In reality Hitler had to appeal to industrialists and capitalists as apart of consolidating his power.
what power
he was already dictator of germany
Military buildup, unions, just generally aligning people with him.
You can be a dictator and still be on a sinking ship.
but it wasnt
It was though.
so that wasnt a requirement, he was idolized and the economy was booming, if he is the result of it then thats why the german people praised him
just like you see with russia and putin
That's revisionism.
You have to have the support of your generals and -to an extent- the upper class if you want to stay a dictator
idk seeing footage of the sheer amount of people praising him doesnt seem to be revisionism
Hitler was definitely idolised
Idolized by the "german people"?
No.
Yes
He absolutely was
I've seen all the videos and pictures
99.7% of the whole Reich supported Hitler and his decision to annex Austria in a plebiscite
And personal recounts
And well, he was seen as superhuman by the masses
Exactly
they adored him
Over 12 million ETHNIC germans had been under some sort of criminal investigation or trial by the Hitlerian police state during his rule.
The leader
The fuhrer
Furthermore, he was quietly opposed by those who had been alive during WWI.
Didn't JFK love him
He totally did
