Absolutely. It's pop culture nonsense.
Some people are still half plugged in.
Like strasserist ideas are fine, but the problem is that Strassers are just dipfarts that put ideology above race and nation
True.
They think Hitler was a Capitalist or something, you are sorely mistaken if you think that, Germany did have open trade and freedom of purchasing power, but was not open Capitalism.
People seem to equate a market element existing in any measure = capitalism.
Hitler was Anti-Communist and Anti-Capitalist.
3rd position.
NS is Third Positionism.
Yeah lol.
We meet a middle ground.
Freedom of the workers and protection from abuse, while also keeping open markets and freedom of purchase and controling your own money.
Reminds me of what Chesterton wrote about the people who attack the Church from each side
Literally the ideal system.
Far beyond its time.
Hence it needed to be crushed.

And then in a quiet hour a strange thought struck me like a still thunderbolt. There had suddenly come into my mind another explanation. Suppose we heard an unknown man spoken of by many men. Suppose we were puzzled to hear that some men said he was too tall and some too short; some objected to his fatness, some lamented his leanness; some thought him too dark, and some too fair. One explanation (as has been already admitted) would be that he might be an odd shape. But there is another explanation. He might be the right shape. Outrageously tall men might feel him to be short. Very short men might feel him to be tall. Old bucks who are growing stout might consider him insufficiently filled out; old beaux who were growing thin might feel that he expanded beyond the narrow lines of elegance. Perhaps Swedes (who have pale hair like tow) called him a dark man, while negroes considered him distinctly blonde. Perhaps (in short) this extraordinary thing is really the ordinary thing; at least the normal thing, the centre. Perhaps, after all, it is Christianity that is sane and all its critics that are mad—in various ways.

The Capitalists believe us to be too collectivist
the Communists denounce us for being too individualist
Because we sit between both.
Although the implications that implies for the intersection of NS and religion are best left unimplied
We are........... if you day say......... the real Radical Centrists.
dare*
@Justin Burger (Major-GA) I wasn't going to say it
Yes lmao
I had said that.
Sir Oswald Mosley proudly proclaimed himself to be a centrist
```I am not, and never have been, a man of the right. My position was on the left and is now in the centre of politics.```
Authoritarian centrism may separate us from the meme.
le enlightened beady-eyed anglo
tbh, Mosley's main failing was that he was too aristocratic
he had the aristocrat's aversion to violence
His money surely did help.
if his Blackshirts had cracked some skulls at Cable Street, who knows how different the world might be
He had perhaps millions of supporters in his hayday.
He seriously had the numbers for a takeover.
The British government said it themselves.
His speeches pull in 50,000 regularly.
His marches massive, fucking hell, he sold out the largest arena in the world at the time.
When communities were a thing.
He insisted on not directly challenging the powers.
