Capitalism and Nazism

Socialist models and ideas espousing common or public ownership have existed since antiquity. The economy of the 3rd century BCE Mauryan Empire of India was described as "a socialized monarchy" and "a sort of state socialism".{ Roger Boesche (2003). The First Great Political Realist: Kautilya and His Arthashastra. Lexington Books. p. 67.ISBN 978-0-7391-0607-5. } via https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism#Early_socialism The term "National Socialism" arose out of attempts to create a nationalist redefinition of socialism, as an alternative to both Marxist international socialism and free-market capitalism.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazism Nazism rejected the Marxist concepts of class conflict and universal equality, opposed cosmopolitan internationalism and sought to convince all parts of the new German society to subordinate their personal interests to the "common good", accepting political interests as the main priority of economic organisation,Kobrak, Christopher; Hansen, Per H.; Kopper, Christopher (2004). "Business, Political Risk, and Historians in the Twentieth Century". In Kobrak, Christopher; Hansen, Per H. (eds.).European Business, Dictatorship, and Political Risk, 1920–1945. New York City/Oxford: Berghahn Books. pp. 16–7.

Yves Eigenrauch: The National Socialists were nationalist socialists. Not sure why you consider that disinformation. Anti-capitalism was one of the chief principles of the NSDAP. The Nazis favored "the common good" over private property, replaced free markets with central government planning and price controls. "Gemeinnutz vor Eigennutz" was engraved on many Reichsmark coins. Most means of production were either nationalized or state controlled. The biggest Nazi bogeyman was the "international finance Jewry". The NSDAP hated large corporations and sought to favor small family businesses. The Nazis promised social security, education, health care, full employment and jobs for everyone (promises they actually kept).
==== Criticism ====
Hitler and the Nazis were full-blown socialists. In my experience, most people denying that are modern socialists with vested interests in whitewashing the history of socialism and keeping its name clear of associations with its Nazi version.
