I was chatting with some people on Gab yesterday afternoon and was contacted by one of the users whose handle is AcidBrainWash with a link to a post on the subject of the differences between Nazism and Marxism.
AcidBrainWash’s article makes the very valid point that there is much in Nazi economic thought and policy that is almost indistinguishable from that of Socialism. There is the same desire to nationalise industries and the same disdain for the concept of private property and property rights. We see this similarity between Socialism and Fascism in Mussolini’s concept that the state is everything and everything is for the state.
Whilst I have not explored all of AcidBrainWash’s published work and will probably not agree with everything that they say, on the subject of the similarities between the economic policies of Nazism and Socialism, this poster is broadly correct. In both of these extremes of political thought, Communism and Nazism, there is the hatred for the individual and the individual’s right to create and hold to their own consciences.
Here’s a sample of the article from AcidBrainWash.
Socialism denies Private Property rights, Profit You get to keep and Socialism Controls the pricing at the marketplace.
These are the exact opposite of Capitalism. Be aware of this, for if Capitalism fails You lose your Sovereignty.
“‘Private property’ … represented the right of the individual to manage and to speculate with inherited or acquired property as he pleased, without regard for the general interests … German socialism had to overcome this ‘private,’ that is, unrestrained and irresponsible view of property. All property is common property. The owner is bound by the people and the Reich to the responsible management of his goods. His legal position is only justified when he satisfies this responsibility to the community.” —Ernst Rudolf Huber, official Nazi Party spokesman, 1939

Like any half-decent person I reject Nazism in all its forms, but because there is much in common with both Nazism and Communism, in order to be consistent I also have to reject Communism as well. Neither of these extremes of political thought are good for the individual nor are they any good for any nation’s economy. We should not see National Socialism as separate from other anti-human ideologies, but instead as having striking similarities to other anti-human ideologies such as Socialism and Communism. We should be able to discern that when it comes to the extremes of political thought, the difference is minimal.
What took you so long? I’d worked out the similarities nearly 50yrs ago when I saw the Marxists in action at my university. Both hate Jews, both ally themselves with Islam. That plus the above-mentioned means that apart from a few trifling details, the ideologies are so similar that you can barely fit a Rizla between them.
Cults of the Leadership, concentration camps, “re-education”, rationing, slave labour, elimination of dissent, use of scapegoats, indoctrination of children to hate.
For life of me, apart from the different uniforms, methods of slaughtering their selected victims and leaders faces, what’s the difference?
Germany
Austria
China
Russia
Rwanda
Cambodia
Feel free to add to the list of monsters.
Oh I’m perfectly aware of the similarity between Nazi and Communist monsters, others on the other hand are of the opinion that there is some difference between what are in reality very similar extremists. It is those who believe that there is a difference between these monsters that this post was aimed at. I’d like to add Venezuela and Cuba to the monsters list and the Peronists of Argentina which was also from what I gather a personality cult that didn’t like dissent and was also a regime with strong ties to the Nat Socs and which gave shelter to a number of fugitive ex Nazis.
The clue is in the name.
Nazi was used by the enemies as a slur – sounds like nasty.
They called themselves National Socialists.
Which our socialists hate, so you never ever hear that name.
Yes, the Marxist socialists don’t like to be associated with the national socialists even though many of their policies regarding private property and the outcomes of mass deaths are somewhat the same.
@FH
One only has to read name of “Nazi” party to know:
National Socialist Party
Who were supported in UK by SNP
Agree wholeheartedly there. The Nazis like the Italian Fascists were rooted in Socialism. Early leaders and activists in the SNP shared Hitler’s views and some even quoted Hitler in speeches, not as warnings, but with approval.
