Because Marx was the only guy to ever consider the economy, and the workers place in his socioeconomic philosophy. Take your accusation of "simplistic attitude" elsewhere. All you did was see "socialist" and worker, and decided that the Nazi Party had to be Marxists. Socialism is a state where industry and economy is owned by the people, with minimalist government presence. In Hitler's Germany the state owned the industry, the people, and the economy. You know why Hitler appealed to the working class? Because that's the social class that gives the most votes. That's the class that powers cities. That's the class that builds bombers, rifles, and tanks, and that's the class who fills those uniforms. Fascism is nothing without a strong military foundation, and that's what Hitler built.
Heh. I like you.
Ok, lets get to it. Maybe we can come to a consensus after some confusion is rid of.
I never said that the nazi party was marxist. They weren't. But as you said yourself, Marx wasn't the only one to include the working class in his socioeconomic philosophy.
"Socialism is a state where industry and economy is owned by the people, with minimalist government presence."
Ok... you are a very confused individual. When you say that something is owned by the people you are talking about the government. Because the government represents the people whether they want it or not. So when you talk about the industry and the economy owned by the people you are talking about nationalization of what was private property. That is, the government takes a piece of property from private individuals and considers it as part of the people's property. So to say that socialism is a state where the industry and economy is owned by the people with minimalist government presence is outright a logical fallacy. Either that, or you mean free market CAPITALISM... where indeed, the government lets the people, not collectively, but individuals within the population, to own the means of production, like the industry and the economy. Did I clarify this or not?
" In Hitler's Germany the state owned the industry, the people, and the economy. "
Yes. The nazi party nationalized
part of the private sector but not all. A lot of it was still left untouched and in the hands of private individuals. And they also were open to foreign investment and they did have foreign investment. They didn't own the people but they did oppress them by denying them certain rights. The first right to fall victim to nazism was the right to vote since Hitler named himself dictator.
It was the communists that nationalized ALL of the major private sector. This means that yes, there were windmills or pubs that could still be operated by private individuals. But everything that was somewhat important to the communists, they took it.
"You know why Hitler appealed to the working class? Because that's the social class that gives the most votes. That's the class that powers cities. That's the class that builds bombers, rifles, and tanks, and that's the class who fills those uniforms.".
This doesn't invalidate what I said in the slightest. it is true ofc and it is one way to look at it. I just informed you that 6-7mil germans were out of work and they were targetted by the communists. It was Hitler whom, because he and his partners were better than the communists, won the vote of the downtrotten and the disenfranchized.
"Fascism is nothing without a strong military foundation, and that's what Hitler built."
History proves you correct to some degree. We can argue on this but it is small fry.
