Why do people still call Hitler a socialist when what he did was clearly capitalism with a large welfare and military budget?
Would National Social Democrat be a more accurate label? (unironically)
NatSocDem?
Oliver Smith
Elijah Myers
Strasserists + NazBols have been calling him a NutSacDem since the beginning. It's their main critique of him.
Ayden Powell
MLs did it the other way round and relabeled socdems to social fascists.
Alexander Nelson
Hurr durr durrrr
Josiah Lopez
More like SucDemNuts amirite?
Oliver Hernandez
Because Marxists and NationaI SociaIist have different definitions of Socialism
NationaI SociaIism gives the means of production to the volk of the nation where as Marxism gives it to the proletariat
Also the USSR had a large welfare and military budget
Anthony Hill
Because western liberals have a vested interest in absolving western capitalism of its past sins (i.e. the fact that all of them supported Hitler) and make socialism seem evil in the eyes of the proles.

How can you expect to be taken seriously when what you define as socialism is indistinguishable from capitalism?
Owen Smith

Mason Campbell
In what ways was Germany under the NSDAP not capitalist? Was the majority of the economy not organised in capitalist enterprises? Were capitalists not key players in the German government?
