First of all it&#8217;s hard to make economic policy interesting, even when it&#8217;s about the Nazis. It tends to get, well &#8230; grey. Second of all it&#8217;s not that easy to simplify things without completely losing the essence of what was going on. Third of all, I&#8217;m fighting an uphill battle against a post truth, political talking point based on &#8230;  let&#8217;s just call it less than ingenious purposes. <\/p>\n<p>Obviously that&#8217;s the idea that the Nazis were Socialists. And perhaps that is not so far fetched when you think of the name of their party, the way they framed their anti-semitic rhetoric in a way that it would sound friendly to the working class, and their absolute disregard for telling the truth about anything, and everything. But although we have painstakingly showed you the facts, I am painfully aware that it won&#8217;t make a difference to stop the nonsense out there and in here &mdash; some pundits will religiously stick to their ideas, because if they don&#8217;t, they might have to face that some of the ideas they have are mutual with the people they so desperately want to distance themselves from. The same happened with the far left between the 1930s and 1970s, when they tried with cramped desperation to frame Stalinism as a right wing, Fascist movement &mdash; Red Fascism was the term &mdash; obviously as much nonsense as the alt-right idea that Naziism is Socialism.<\/p>\n<p>And is it important? Well yes and no &mdash; the dumbos will probably get worn out at some point, it&#8217;s after all quite challenging to look for ways to distort the record over, and over again. I don&#8217;t really care if the extremists try to push their mutual garbage in each other&#8217;s lap &mdash; as a supporter of democracy and humanism, I have no regard for either end. I do however have an incredible amount of respect for conservatives, liberals, and progressives who are equally dedicated to democracy and human rights &mdash; and there is where it matters. <\/p>\n<p>When the far left tries to frame Stalinism as right wing, and the far-right tries to frame Naziism is left-wing, they are trying to co-opt a position of less extremism. It&#8217;s an invasive attempt for Communists and (real) Socialists to just look like regular Progressives, and Fascists and Nazis to just look like regular Conservatives. And that my friends is dangerous, to all of us, regardless of our nationality, creed, political affiliation, or opinion &mdash; because it is specifically our individual rights and democracy that is at stake in this game. That&#8217;s what they want to take away, or in some places stop from developing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Screenshot_2020-02-20-Why-the-Nazis-Weren\u2019t-Socialists-\u2013-\u2018The-Good-Hitler-Years\u2019-BETWEEN-2-WARS-I-1937-Part-2-of-2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Screenshot_2020-02-20-Why-the-Nazis-Weren\u2019t-Socialists-\u2013-\u2018The-Good-Hitler-Years\u2019-BETWEEN-2-WARS-I-1937-Part-2-of-2-480x270.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-55139\" srcset=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Screenshot_2020-02-20-Why-the-Nazis-Weren\u2019t-Socialists-\u2013-\u2018The-Good-Hitler-Years\u2019-BETWEEN-2-WARS-I-1937-Part-2-of-2-480x270.png 480w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Screenshot_2020-02-20-Why-the-Nazis-Weren\u2019t-Socialists-\u2013-\u2018The-Good-Hitler-Years\u2019-BETWEEN-2-WARS-I-1937-Part-2-of-2-853x480.png 853w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Screenshot_2020-02-20-Why-the-Nazis-Weren\u2019t-Socialists-\u2013-\u2018The-Good-Hitler-Years\u2019-BETWEEN-2-WARS-I-1937-Part-2-of-2-150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Screenshot_2020-02-20-Why-the-Nazis-Weren\u2019t-Socialists-\u2013-\u2018The-Good-Hitler-Years\u2019-BETWEEN-2-WARS-I-1937-Part-2-of-2-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Screenshot_2020-02-20-Why-the-Nazis-Weren\u2019t-Socialists-\u2013-\u2018The-Good-Hitler-Years\u2019-BETWEEN-2-WARS-I-1937-Part-2-of-2.png 930w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TimeGhost History Published 19 Feb 2020 The Nazi economy appears to do well during the 1930s.
