    Hitler’s National Socialist Worker’s Party (The Nazi Party) nationalized factories, took over companies, dictated production to private corporations, set price and wage controls, destroyed large retail outlets, maintained universal health care, placed limits on stock dividends, controlled capital and the means of production. The Socialist label Hitler picked was very deliberately chosen, for very clear reasons.

    For those who say that Hitler hated other socialists; so what? Hating other socialists doesn’t cancel out one’s socialism, just as hating other capitalists doesn’t cancel out one’s capitalism. Also, there are different types of socialists. Stalin killed Trotsky. Because the Nazis killed certain socialists is no argument that they themselves weren't socialists. Who says that socialist A can't kill socialist B? It happens throughout modern history.

    As to the "outlawing of labor unions", this is evidence the Nazis were central planners. When a central government bans or outlaws any non-violent activity, it is evidence of central planning, not some free market or unregulated society.

    Quite often Socialists purge or murder various groups, minorities and races. Hitler did this with Jews, blacks, gypsies, and others. The Soviet Union did the same with different groups, including Jews. Mao purged various groups too, as did Kim.

    “In November 1948, Soviet authorities launched a campaign to liquidate what was left of Jewish culture. The leading members of the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee were arrested. They were charged with treason, bourgeois nationalism and planning to set up a Jewish republic in Crimea to serve American interests. The Museum of Environmental Knowledge of the Jewish Autonomous Oblast (established in November 1944) and The Jewish Museum in Vilnius (established at the end of the war) were closed down in 1948. The Historical-Ethnographic Museum of Georgian Jewry, established in 1933, was shut down at the end of 1951.”

    Stalin and antisemitism - Wikipedia

    Nazis took over the means of production. Some examples include Junkers Flugzeug.

    Junkers - Wikipedia

    There was the automobile industry:

    "Hitler envisioned widespread car ownership as part of the new Germany. He arranged for designer Ferdinand Porsche to draw up plans for the KdF-wagen (Strength Through Joy car), intended to be an automobile that every German citizen could afford."

    Nazi Germany - Wikipedia

    Wage and price controls.

    "Göring instituted wage and price controls and restricted the issuance of stock dividends."

    Nazi Germany - Wikipedia

    Controlling retail stores

    “The Nazis were determined to eliminate the presence of large department stores (many of which were owned by Jews), and began to implement policies to curb their influence and expansion. Strict licensing requirements and temporary bans (all of which became permanent even after their expiry date) were passed which had an immediate effect on retail."

    Economy of Nazi Germany - Wikipedia

    Dictating to industry

    Cars and other forms of motorized transport became increasingly attractive to the population, and the German motor industry boomed.[37] However, the government in Berlin banned many types of vehicles and allowed the production of only 19 different models of cars and trucks.[38] This decreased consumer choice and profits, and combined with rubber shortages to create what an American observer called, “drastic restrictions on the use of motor vehicles”.

    Economy of Nazi Germany - Wikipedia

    Let’s not forget Germany's Universal Health Care, which the Nazis kept.

    After WWII, Socialists in the West were very embarrassed by revelations about National Socialist Hitler’s atrocities. They scurried to distance themselves from him, by labeling him a “right winged fascist.” This was to protect the Left from his actions. This was okay as long as the Liberal media were in charge of information, but when the internet came along, the myth was exposed. Today many millions are setting the record straight online. A Bing search brings up millions of results.
    Nice comprehensive description of what the NAZI party was, and who Hitler was.

    True and it reminds me of a "story".

    There was a flood and people were evacuating.
    One man decided to stay and pretty soon the water surrounded his home.
    A man in a canoe came by and told him - "Get in, I've got room for you and I'll take you to safety".
    The man said - "No thanks, I'm putting my trust in the Lord".

    Pretty soon the water go higher and he went to the second floor.
    A man in a rowboat came by, with several other people in it, and told him - "Get in, I've got room for you and I'll take you to safety.".
    The man said - "No thanks, I'm putting my trust in the Lord.".

    The water kept climbing and eventually the man had to get on his roof.
    A man in a speedboat came by, with several other people in it, and told him - "You're the last one left; get in, I've got room for you and I'll take you to safety.".
    The man said - "No thanks, I'm putting my trust in the Lord.".

    The water kept climbing and the man eventually drowned.

    As he was standing by the Pearly Gates, he complained to God - "I put my trust in you, why didn't you save me?".
    And God replied - "I sent three boats.".

    "I find your observations nothing short of disgusting." M #665
    Noted.
    However I also note, "disgusting", the exact word you've chosen & used, is not a synonym for incorrect.
    So you're not disputing my account, merely confessing "I find your observations nothing short of disgusting."
    I'd invite you to refute any fact you believe I've stated in error. But if you could do that you'd already have done so. So what you're hinting at is that you find a reliable accounting of history "disgusting".
    Perhaps you're right. Torquemada paved the way for ISIL, in chronology if not ideology / methodology.
    "The acceleration rate of science with the DEATH of religion has been exponential." M
    Oh?
    We'd need a precise definition of terms. But I suspect there are more religionists alive today than there were when JC strode the Earth (IF JC strode the Earth at all).
    "Imagine if you will where we could be already if not for the church's antipathy for science." M
    I suppose that thought has crossed many a freethinker's mind. Seth MacFarlane did so in charming animation.

    BUT !!

    I've never seen a one-sided coin.
    Where would science be without great scientific contributors like Sir Isaac Newton?
    "Scientists had to censor their own work not to be killed by christians. Yuck." M #666 (savor the irony)
    In some rare cases perhaps.
    But your free-floating, un-articulated resentment seems akin to that of jilted lover more than acknowledgement of history.

    In any case, even if Sir Isaac did feel some pressure to avoid appearing to be religiously incorrect, I seriously doubt that explains why Newton listed his fundamental of physics with three laws, rather than the one (singular) insisted upon earlier in this thread.

    Please note, for the remainder of this post IN #671 takes both sides of the argument.
    "Circular argument fallacy (fundamentalism). it is not possible to prove any god or gods exist." IN #671
    That's a dismissal, not a logical refutation.
    And not only is my proof here to fore un-assailed. It, unlike some lesser religious approaches, has utility for skeptics, agnostics, and perhaps even atheists.
    "The Theory of Creation is but one theory about the origin of life on Earth. The other is the Theory of Abiogenesis. Neither theory is a theory of science. Both theories remain circular arguments...and religions." IN #671
    Excellent.
    You're ruled out the primary two, which means you have in mind the third and factually correct explanation. Please share.
    Thanks.
    "BTW, the Theory of Creation does not even require a god as the 'intelligence'. " IN #671
    If you understood the proof I've already posted you wouldn't be telling me that. For if you understood the proof I've already posted, you'd then understand I've already told you that.

    "believed all of the witchdoctor's words."
    I'd be careful to consider it a binary.

    It's easy to "misunderestimate" the uneducated mind.
    But even a few astute cave dwellers realized, skepticism is a 3rd option.

    They lacked many of the mental / thinking tools we have in the 3rd millennium.

    BUT !!

    What resulted was they honed those fewer thinking tools they had to an even finer edge. Neville Chamberlain didn't invent appeasement. He just shmeared a more vivid shade of lipstick on it.

Moles in the FBI, the CIA, the IRS, etc., have been found guilty of abusing their government office power to target political opponents.


    Its clear HITLER WAS A PROPONENT OF "BIG GOVERNMENT" and an open enemy of free market capitalism. What is the difference in National Socialism and Socialism? SEMANTICS. A lying dog is a lying dog however one wishes to describe it. You can spray a pile of shit with perfume.....but in the end it just smells like shit with perfume on it. State controlled banking system. (Fanny Mae, Freddie Mac anyone, the progressive FED anyone?)


    You can't rewrite history, you can't revise TRUTH. Truth is documented.....propaganda runs from truth.
    Hitler was NOT a socialist.

    The war movement of Germany was borne by capitalism.

    You do not know what you are talking about.

    And you support Donald Trump who is acting more like Adolf Hitler with each passing day.

    Some crazed religions believe that ' god ' views them as ' chosen ' and born to rule. These crazies do not simply comtain their beliefs harmlessly but create mayhem by attempting to manifest their delusions in the physical world.

    Did you know that Stephen Hawking was very popular with the Palestinians- almost revered ? He must have been very unpopular with neoZionists and their Evangelical backers.

    How Stephen Hawking supported the Palestinian cause

    The renowned scientist, who has passed away, will be remembered not only for his work, but his support for Palestine.

    Newton didn't secure a patent on gravity. The apocryphal story is about the apple that fell on Newton's head.

    The factual scientific contributions Newton made are far more impressive.

    And you support Donald Trump who is acting more like Adolf Hitler with each passing day.
    Trumptards like to conflate the appropriation by a despot of resources to consolidate power with marxism, which is ostensibly doing something similar
    but for a far different purpose, to transfer the means of production out of the hands of the ruling class to the people. They don't actually believe it, they just enjoy trolling
    fake history to try and take away from the obvious similarities between other infamous despotic rulers use of propaganda, oppression of outgroups, nationalism, fear and their god, Trump.

    The similarities between Hitlers political philosophy and Trump is obvious. Trump treats "good white christian people" as a master race.
