1937 Nazi law "dissolved all corporations with a capital under $40,000 and forbade the establishment of new ones with a capital of less than $200,000". One-fifth of all small companies dissolved.

German steel magnate Fritz Thyssen said that NS Germany closely resembled Bolshevik Russia and every businessman was forced to comply with the omnipotent government "plan". His business was seized and he was chucked into a concentration camp.

Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany more or less abolished the profit motive but left just enough private enterprise to leech off. They routinely extracted forced loans from businesses which were never repaid, similar to the loans they forced foreign governments' central banks to give them which were never repaid.

On Nazi farming policy:
> "Although nominally privately owned, German farmland was controlled by marketing boards to set production and fix prices under a quota system... farms were organized into cartels, which were regulated by a government body known as Reichsnahrstand (RNST) where the Nazi state decided 'everything from what seeds and fertilizers were used to how land was inherited"
The Hereditary Farm Law of 1933 made it impossible for farmers to sell their property and leave the industry, shackling them down to these more or less state-run farms.
From "Hitler's Garden of Eden":
> "If they proved their diligence they could receive up to twenty-five hectares. The ethnic German farms were subjected to high SS quotas and random confiscations of milk and other produce. Ukrainian and Byelorussian prisoners and forced laborers tilled the reserve farmland not allotted to the German and SS farmers."
So even in Ukraine, where the Germans kept Soviet collective farm system in place, they fake-privatized some farms exclusively for Germans but then "subjected them to high SS quotas and random confiscations" aka they were not private at all.

"The Nazis viewed private property as conditional on its use - not as a fundamental right. If the property was not being used to further Nazi goals, it could be nationalized."
This is the concept of eminent domain but without an independent judiciary to limit state abuses or allow citizens to take the state to court. There were no checks and balances on the state in Nazi Germany - it was fundamentally totalitarian.

How Adolf Hitler Began to Admire Josef Stalin
Hitler admired Stalin’s revolutionary consistency above all, but exactly this consistency, which went far further than his own, also made him afraid, and made Bolshevism appear as the only serious

On the NS seizure of economic power into state hands.
> The Nazis destroyed the four basic freedoms of private capitalism
> Eliminated were the freedoms of trade, contract, association & markets
> The government determined the general economic policies, instituted a peculiar system of economic planning & regulated all the markets in the economy
> Government went into business; it performed many administrative & quasi-managerial functions in the economy
> Compulsory business organizations of private owners operating throughout the regime
> The Nazi party gradually occupied all strategic positions in the economy
> It reserved for itself a series of economic prerogatives & thereby became the major holder of power in the economy
> Big business was pushed to the back seat

The MEFO scam.
The Nazi regime did not have the funds to pay back the firms who they borrowed from so they "forced banks to buy government bonds, seized money from savings accounts and insurance companies... and printed more Reichsmarks to meet the cash shortage, which resulted in inflation while exacerbating the shortage of raw materials".

PraxBen on that "economic miracle" bit we always hear about.
"By 1936 the German recovery was no more advanced than that of Britain or the United States"
"Deficit spending was dominated by war preparation"
"Full scale rearmament had begun by 1934 and 70% of government expenditures had gone toward it by 1939"
"The economy recovery of the 1930s was like a balloon. The Nazis tried to fill the balloon with air but they could never tie the knot to keep it stable. The massive short term gain with equally massive long term consequences"
From the booklet "Deficit Spending in the Nazi Recovery"

Fascism is primarily anti-capitalist. Its fake anti-communism is a ruse to trick right-wingers into embracing it on social grounds.

By 1940 Hitler was fully convinced that he wanted a fully planned and regimented economy modeled on the Soviet Union.
> Hitler attributed the success of National Socialist economic policy primarily to state control of the economy. From 1940 at the latest, Hitler increasingly became a proponent of the state planned economy – partly because he was convinced of the superiority of the Soviet Union and its economic system. In his monologs to his inner circle (known as “table talks”) on July 27-28, 1941 Hitler said that “A sensible employment of the powers of a nation can only be achieved with a planned economy from above.”
> About two weeks later he said: “As far as the planning of the economy is concerned, we are still very much at the beginning and I imagine it will be something wonderfully nice to build up an encompassing German and European economic order.” The statement that as far as the planning of the economy was concerned one was still at the very beginning is important because it shows that Hitler was not thinking at all of a reduction of state intervention – not even for the time after the war – but, on the contrary, intended to expand the instruments of state control of the economy even further.

Topic: In this episode I look into the relationship of Hitler and Stalin; did they admire each other? Or were they diametrically opposed?; the evidence is overwhelming that Stalin and Hitler admired each other; Hitler privately praised the communist butcher as "brilliant" and "the greatest living statesmen"; he was impressed with Stalin's brutality and "revolutionary consistency"; Stalin liked Hitler too; he was so enamored with Hitler that he ignored clear intelligence warnings of an impending invasion believing his friend Hitler would not do it; Hitler eventually came to support and copy the Soviet planned economic model to achieve his own military and imperial goals of Lebensraum and autarky; Hitler, Mussolini and Stalin all shared a common hatred of capitalism, money and wealth.

In Hitler's second book, he muses about Russian Bolsheviks removing the Jewish Bolsheviks and thereby Russifying Bolshevism, which he liked, proving that he was not against Bolshevism in and of itself but only against Jews; also proving that he was a staunch anti-capitalist amenable to Communism:
> "However, it is conceivable that in Russia itself an inner change within the Bolshevist world could take place insofar as the Jewish element could perhaps be forced aside by a more or less Russian national one. Then it could also not be excluded that the present real Jewish-capitalist-Bolshevist Russia could be driven to national-anti-capitalist tendencies."
Hitler was so psychotically anti-capitalist that he described Stalin's Russia there as "capitalist" even though it was the antithesis of capitalism. Later, Hitler confirmed this view that he believed Stalin eliminated the Jewish element in his government, but was still hostile to Russia anyway:
> "'Alluding to Mussolini’s letter in January, and to his own reply a few days before the meeting, Hitler emphasized how British intransigence had forced him to conclude an alliance with Russia. But, although Stalin had deprived Bolshevism of its Jewish and international character and turned it into a ‘slavic Moscowitism’, Russia remained for Germany an ‘absolutely foreign world’. ‘For Germany only one partner came into question: Italy. Russia was only insurance cover.’" (Source: Ian Kershaw, Hitler: 1936-1945 Nemesis)
