Let's put this to rest.
Is NatSoc actually socialist?
Didn't the Nazis engage in nationalization of industry and widespread price-setting? I mean people were allowed to own private property at least but the state power and central-planning inherent in the system seems very socialist. More socialist than FDR's America for sure.
On the other hand there was no impediment towards private ownership of capital, and people were largely able to run their own businesses without government obstruction unless they were involved in industries related to wartime. But even then the state could come in at a moments notice and seize the business if they thought it could be useful.
Is Nazism considered a capitalist system only because of Communist/Jewish propaganda?

>Is NatSoc actually socialist?
In the sense of being good for the working class of the nation? Yes. In the Marxist sense? No.

Nice trips
Marxism/communism falls under the umbrella of socialism. I get that obviously NatSoc and Marxism have little in common, but I'm wondering if they fall under the same umbrella of socialism. i.e. Social ownership of means of production.
There is a strong case that the Nazis were anti capitalist in nature - the system allowed Jews to get ahead through shady banking practices.
On the other hand might Nazism fall under Syndicalism? I say that only because of the strong bond with Fascist Italy, and Mussolini's desired to find a third way between socialism and capitalism
