I thought the national socialist movement of the Germans was actually facism; which, was a natural reaction to the communist bolshevik madness. The social/political pendulum just swung the other way.
The (((bolshevik))) bankers were kicked out and a work hour based economic system was put in place; which, raised Germany out of a wasteland and into an industrial powerhouse.
Ps. I think the U.S. could use a work based currency now. That or some other kind of sound monetary policy, but this federal reserve shit has to go.

Nope, they were socialists. They controlled the means of production and commerce every bit the same as the Ruskies.
Revisionist history to repaint the Nazis as anything but socialists. They controlled currency, commerce, trade, and goods and services. It was NOT capitalism under the 3rd Reich.
Mussolini defined fascism as corporate power when corporations make the laws. Like in America now: Citizens United( corporations are people) or the policy of too big to fail. We here in America( in the modern age) have never experienced real capitalism, with government intrusions, subsidies, federal reserve fiat currency....

Wasn't the weimar system Socalist as well? If not what was the weimar system?
Wasn't the work hour system (under the reich) capitalist in nature?
The Reich pulled Germany out of poverty, so the people had a better lifestyle or at least some Germans. What is the downside to this? Were they actually slaves or did they have freedoms and liberty?
I also understand there is nuance and trasitional periods to change sometimes. Germany needed to shake off the old and start a new. I wonder what the future plans the Reich had for the German people if there hadn't been war.

I agree with this but only for modern US Economics. The US most certainly experienced capitalism in times past. This is why we had to create the Sherman Antitrust Act: unchecked capitalism becomes every bit the corrupt authoritarian structures as any other governing body.

If you take what the 3rd Reich was doing, subtract out all the megalomania, but keep most everything else, Germany would be the world's first superpower. Not the US. Not the USSR. They had some great ideas on how to run the government, for sure. They just didn't execute (pun not intended) very well. Also, the socialism that they implemented went too far. They needed to scale back what role the government played in managing the economy and resources.
