@Deleted User oh sure

@Deleted User I'd never contest that

What was Hitler's socialism? @Deleted User

Let me find the quote,

Hitler was during the 20's when his movement was taking shape, but during the 30's he discarded it when he liked the extra benefits and power he could get from the already established big corporations.

The problem with that sort of usage of quotes is that they are as much propaganda as they are statements about policy

Look at the mans actions not his words is what I'd advise

That isn't socialism, though

@olev Who says so?

Well first of all, socialism is a range of economic systems

He seems to be describing collectivism

I'm not sure, but he definitely isn't talking about an economic system in that quote

@Apollo'sJest The issue with that is most of the info about the actions of him are usually biased to hell.

@Deleted User not wrong

@Deleted User Plus we are talking about a VERY unusual context anyway: the preparation of or actual performance of total war. A context in whici it is hard to evalue an economic or social system for what it would be in normal circumstances.

Than there is the (not that silly) argument that all that Hitler advocated might just have been in the interest of the immediate political profit of his political movement thus ideologically void

At core, socialism is social ownership

Which there are different types of

Usually collective, public, cooperative

Nazi Germany wasn't socialist

Of course there was free healthcare, free education and such

But that doesn't really mean it was socialist

NAzi Germany had socialised courts (for some types of infraction), it had a limit on the sum total of wealth one (household rather than person) could own

Again, socialism is an economic system

Not a set of policies

Nazi Germany had massive public spending on infrastructure and such

No it's not an economic system, it's a political ideology

and Mussilini ittereated upon it

How is socialism a political ideology?

he made this thing called Fascism

Okay, go on

I'm sorry for quotink wikipedia but: "Socialism is a range of economic and social systems characterised by social ownership and democratic control of the means of production,[10] as well as the political theories, and movements associated with them."

Literally the first line of the article

That supports my side

lol wut?

I said socialism is an economic system

Then you said it's a political system

have you not finished reading the sentence or something?
