Hitler was a massive shill for capitalists.

2017-10-02 00:05:58 UTC  

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.

2017-10-02 00:06:38 UTC  

all citizens of germany at that time were also given socialistic benefits

2017-10-02 00:06:45 UTC  

including women who are child bearing

2017-10-02 00:07:09 UTC  

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

2017-10-02 00:07:29 UTC  

its also pretty difficult to be a capitalist when your economy is nationalistic

2017-10-02 00:07:51 UTC  

There was major nationalist portions of the KPD.

2017-10-02 00:07:51 UTC  

what capital is there to maximize when u are trying to individualize the german economy

2017-10-02 00:07:58 UTC  

I mean you're pretty wrong on that.

2017-10-02 00:08:21 UTC  

In reality Hitler had to appeal to industrialists and capitalists as apart of consolidating his power.

2017-10-02 00:08:32 UTC  

what power

2017-10-02 00:08:37 UTC  

he was already dictator of germany

2017-10-02 00:09:01 UTC  

Military buildup, unions, just generally aligning people with him.

2017-10-02 00:09:32 UTC  

You can be a dictator and still be on a sinking ship.

2017-10-02 00:09:37 UTC  

but it wasnt

2017-10-02 00:09:43 UTC  

It was though.

2017-10-02 00:09:57 UTC  

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

2017-10-02 00:10:07 UTC  

just like you see with russia and putin

2017-10-02 00:10:57 UTC  

He wasn't idolized, he was seen as the only option to a lot of ordinary Germans.

2017-10-02 00:11:00 UTC  

That's revisionism.

2017-10-02 00:11:04 UTC  

You have to have the support of your generals and -to an extent- the upper class if you want to stay a dictator

2017-10-02 00:11:29 UTC  

idk seeing footage of the sheer amount of people praising him doesnt seem to be revisionism

2017-10-02 00:11:32 UTC  

Hitler was definitely idolised

2017-10-02 00:11:49 UTC  

Idolized by the "german people"?

2017-10-02 00:11:50 UTC  

No.

2017-10-02 00:12:06 UTC  

Yes

2017-10-02 00:12:10 UTC  

He absolutely was

2017-10-02 00:12:23 UTC  

I've seen all the videos and pictures

2017-10-02 00:12:25 UTC  

99.7% of the whole Reich supported Hitler and his decision to annex Austria in a plebiscite

2017-10-02 00:12:27 UTC  

And personal recounts

2017-10-02 00:12:48 UTC  

And well, he was seen as superhuman by the masses

2017-10-02 00:12:54 UTC  

Exactly

2017-10-02 00:12:55 UTC  

they adored him

2017-10-02 00:13:00 UTC  

Over 12 million ETHNIC germans had been under some sort of criminal investigation or trial by the Hitlerian police state during his rule.

2017-10-02 00:13:00 UTC  

The leader

2017-10-02 00:13:03 UTC  

The fuhrer

2017-10-02 00:13:11 UTC  

Furthermore, he was quietly opposed by those who had been alive during WWI.

2017-10-02 00:13:21 UTC  

Didn't JFK love him

2017-10-02 00:13:27 UTC  

He totally did

2017-10-02 00:13:32 UTC  

>unironically buying into nazi propaganda

2017-10-02 00:13:40 UTC  

so did several other nationalists and patriots
