The answer is obvious to anyone who deep dives into the history and unwinds the propaganda.

The reason 2020s American politics looks like the Weimar Republic and Hitler's rise to power is because the enemies the USA is facing today are the exact same enemies Germany was facing. Since the enemy is attacking 2020s America much the same way as they attacked Germany, the response to the enemy will seem somewhat similar and you'll start to be able to make a look of comparisons to the Nazis.

True but it's complicated. This is why when people get into fascist/socialist/communist/capitalist debates involved Nazis it gets so complicated.

The capitalism that the Germans opposed was neoliberal globalism. What we have today. A capitalist system that siphons value from one country then injects it into another country in order to maximize the value for the owners of the capital but not necessarily the people of the nation.

In reality though, the Nazis ran a fairly capitalist system but with heavy nationalistic controls. Modern socialists have a difficult time calling Nazis socialists in the modern use of the word because of the existence of capital. Many free market capitalists contend that Nazis were in fact effectively socialists due to their controls.

Fact of the matter is that the values inherent in Marxism/Communism are alive and well today. Modern leftists are essentially communist and their social justice is nothing more than marxism applied at every level of society not just class warfare. This leads to the degradation of society's moral values and overall causes division and mediocrity. This cultural marxism has made it easy for the neoliberal globalists to continue siphoning value from one country to the next at the expense of the people. A person's labour in one country might actually be going toward hurting his own community and helping a foreigners communist. This disconnect from a person's labour toward actually helping himself and his community has created a huge issue for people in society.

The average Joe is being distracted from the truth of the matter by getting caught up in believing communism is the solution when communism is really just a way for the elite to control the masses. A upper class of people who control an equal underclass. Modern feudalism essentially, which is what communism always diverges into. You're already seeing the merging of corporations into the moral and political aspects of society which is what fascism (not necessarily Nazis) was envisioned as but without the nationalistic rationale for this merger. Instead it's a global effort done to the benefit of globalism not to the benefit of specific nations.

The solution to today's problems is nationalism. A capitalist economy that is nationalistic in nature is going to appear somewhat similar to National Socialism, though arguably if you really want to, you could say it's more like National Capitalism to make yourself feel better if you're a capitalist and hate socialism.
