The Nazis would be in power to this day if they hadn't followed Hitler's incompetent leadership. They had no pressing need to invade Poland, France, or the USSR. They had no pressing need to bomb Great Britain. They had no pressing need to genocide the Jews.
Imagine the Nazi regime had stopped after annexing Austria, the Sudetenland, Moravia and Silesia, then worked on gradually deporting the Jewish population to Africa or the Middle East. Germany would have become an ultra-powerful European ethnostate.
WW2 would never have happened. The Cold War would never have happened. White Guilt would never have infected the psyche of Western Europe and America. The world would be a very different place.
Oh my dear boy ... have you read “the unnecessary war”?
Hitler didn’t had to do those things ... except it was in his platform, it was practically his mandate ... it’s the only reason why anyone even considered becoming a Nazi, turns out you can’t piss off half of Europe and Russia without consequences
There cannot be a Nazi type regime without a “living space” and there cannot be a living space without war ... and there cannot be socialism without Europeans ... you’re screwed
The problem of Nazis is not the racial part, there’s plenty of ethnostates doing just fine ... it’s the socialism baby ... you can’t have a sustainable planned economy regime without theft and serfdom, turns out Europeans around Germany hate that shit
Ditch the socialism ... keep the nationalism and even the racial segregation ... there’s better historical backing for those
People became Nazis because (1) the Nazis promised economic development and (2) restoration of German national character and pride, both of which they delivered on.
I don't know where you're getting anything about socialism or a planned economy. The Nazis were heavily in favor of private industry. The de-nationalized almost everything.
The Nazis were in power for 7 full years before WW2. Before the outbreak of war, they built Germany into a European superpower with a high standard of living and a booming economy. They could have simply stayed along the same course.
The concept of lebensraum came to the Nazi party through Hess by way of his mentor Haushofer, who invented the theory of geopolitik. Like I said, it was picked up by Hitler due to bad judgment.
Really? The National Socialists did not had a planned economy?
Yeah ... that’s just not true man
The weren’t called the just nationalists
They expropriated businesses, they made 5 year plans, they instituted price controls, they made production quotas and build bridges to nowhere ... all socialists regimes work ... until you ran out of other peoples money.
It ain’t that complicated... look at Venezuela ... they had an amazing standard of living for the decade chavez was in power ... but they made the mistake of not invading the next door country and pillage it ... now they’re broke.
Giving Hitler superpowers ... he directed Germany at the whim of his finger ... is the comforting illusion Germans and socialists (communists too) tell themselves to avoid recognizing that all socialism points in the same direction ... war and misery
Hitler has as much power as any other king had ... recall he survived many assassination attempts... that doesn’t sound like a god emperor to me
It sounds like you have been reading too many leftist text books. I suggest you research some actual facts about the economy in Nazi Germany.
From ultra-far-left wikipedia:
After the Nazis took power, industries were privatized en masse. Several banks, shipyards, railway lines, shipping lines, welfare organizations, and more were privatized. The Nazi government took the stance that enterprises should be in private hands wherever possible. State ownership was to be avoided unless it was absolutely necessary for rearmament or the war effort, and even in those cases the Reich often insisted on the inclusion in the contract of an option clause according to which the private firm operating the plant was entitled to purchase it. However, the privatization was applied within a framework of increasing control of the state over the whole economy through regulation and political interference, as laid out in the 1933 Act for the Formation of Compulsory Cartels, which gave the government a role in regulating and controlling the cartels that had been earlier formed in the Weimar Republic under the Cartel Act of 1923. These had mostly regulated themselves from 1923 to 1933.
In short, the economy of Nazi Germany was almost exactly like our own economy: private businesses operating within a framework of government regulation.
Just as US magacorporations like Lockheed Martin, Boeing, US Steel, General Foods, etc operate in the US under a mountain of regulations, the same was true of arms manufacturers and heavy industry cartels in Nazi Germany.
And just as small business and entrepreneurship used to be encouraged in the US (until fairly recently), the same was true in Nazi Germany.
