Natsocs love to say that Communism and Capitalism are "two sides of the same coin"... but this is actually true of Communism and Fascism, both of which emerged out of Marxism.

Mussolini and all the leading intellectuals of fascism were Marxists before creating fascism as a national identity-flavoured variant of it.

Here’s what Mussolini said about himself:

> "It was inevitable that I should become a Socialist ultra, a Blanquist, indeed a communist. I carried about a medallion with Marx’s head on it in my pocket. I think I regarded it as a sort of talisman… [Marx] had a profound critical intelligence and was in some sense even a prophet." – Talks With Mussolini, Emil Ludwig, Pg. 38

Here’s what the other founder of fascism Giovanni Gentile said about it:

> "It is necessary to distinguish between socialism and socialism—in fact, between idea and idea of the same socialist conception, in order to distinguish among them those that are inimical to Fascism. It is well known that Sorellian syndicalism, out of which the thought and the political method of Fascism emerged—conceived itself the genuine interpretation of Marxist communism."

Here’s what the most prolific scholar of fascism A. James Gregor said of it:

> "[Italian] Fascism was a variant of classical Marxism, a belief system that pressed some themes argued by both Marx and Engels until they found expression in the form of ‘national syndicalism’ that was to animate the first Fascism."

Look into the personalities behind German National Socialism and you will find similar origins in the Marxist Left.

Marxism is a doctrine of anti-capitalism and fascism is also a doctrine of anti-capitalism, that takes the form of "National Syndicalism" (which was based on Marxism) where trade unions collectively control the industries and direct them from above in a similar way that the Soviets did. All fascism does is mix in identity politics (religion, race, ethnicity, flag, etc.) to their anti-capitalism.

So the truer statement is that Communism and Fascism are two sides of the same coin.

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".

George Lincoln Rockwell acknowledged that fascism is little more than a (leftist) economic/political system of a corporative Total State paired with a socialist command economy and says that he wasn't one.

The German state forcibly nationalized the iron ore deposits of private firms and created one giant state-run enterprise, the Reichswerke.

> "In a loud and aggressive tone he read out a prepared statement. German heavy industry had failed to develop one of the nation's prize assets. Hitler had given them four years, but they had wasted that time. Now, Goering had lost patience. His job was 'to throw down the saboteurs of rearmament and the Four Year Plan and to send them where they belonged [to hell]'.112 The state had shown itself capable of achieving dramatic expansion in the aluminium industry and the Luftwaffe sector. Now the same methods would be applied to steel. "

> "All private holdings of German iron ore deposits would be merged into a single state company. Three giant steelworks would be built on the ore fields. Salzgitter was to be the largest steel plant in the world. The shocked industrialists were then each handed a map showing the ore fields of their firms that were to be expropriated in the name of the new Reichswerke. Goering then read out a decree personally approved by Hitler, which authorized the forced sale."

The four year plan starting in 1936 effectively "eliminated the market mechanism". All of this is consistent with Soviet central planning, not a market economy.

> "At the rolling mills, orders for hundreds of thousands of tons piled up that could not be met for the foreseeable future. Under normal conditions the response would have been to raise prices.88 The Reich authorities, however, were desperate to avoid the scarcity of imported raw materials spilling over into general inflation. So, Gauleiter Wagner, who had responsibility for price control in the Four Year Plan, issued a blanket ban on 26 November 1936 pro hibiting any price increases.89 Formalizing a development begun in the early 1930s, this effectively eliminated the market mechanism as a means of regulating scarcity in the German economy."

> "The logical next step, as had already been acknowledged by the RNS in agriculture at least a year earlier, was the introduction of rationing, managing scarcity by bureaucratic allocation rather than the market process. Rationing of nonferrous metals was adopted in January 1937; steel rationing was imposed as of 23 February 1937.90 To clear the backlog with the rolling mills, all outstanding steel orders that could not be met by the end of April 1937 were cancelled. From the end of February, new orders for steel could only be placed on the basis of steel entitlements issued according to national priority as defined by the Reich Ministry for Economic Affairs."

Hitler admired Stalin and the communists and saw many similarities with himself

Fascists admit that socialism and fascism is slavery.

> "It is with this understanding that I propose, that countries like the Soviet Union, Maoist China, North Korea, Nazi Germany, and Fascist Italy essentially functioned as vast plantations. Here, the toil of the many disproportionately benefited a small number of powerful individuals, thus engendering a dynamic reminiscent of a master and his slaves. Just as we see the purest form of socialism mirrored in slavery, so too does socialism inexorably transmogrify into a form of slavery. Slavery and generic fascism seem to represent the most candid forms of socialism, whereas Marxism and Utopian Socialism seem somewhat bewildered in this vast ideological landscape."

... and they think that's a good thing!

🟡 Hitler's real motivation for attacking the USSR was establishing Lebensraum: an expanded Reich to establish Germany as a preeminent world power, which he believed could only be achieved with an extended living space.

"he hates the Spanish" ~ Hewel

National Socialism is a religion designed to remove and replace all other traditional religions.

"What is Christianity to us today? National Socialism is religion.The only thing missing is the religious genius that blows up old surviving formulas and forms new ones. We lack the rite. National Socialism must one day become the state religion of the Germans. My party is my church, and I believe I will serve the Lord best if I fulfill his will and free my oppressed people from the chains of scavenging. That is my gospel. And where I encounter resistance, no matter when or how, I try to break it." ~ Joseph Goebbels, diary entry of October 16, 1928

This is why you see today neo-nazis worship Hitler like a deity and view all criticism as heresy that must be stamped and blotted out. They view critics of NS and Hitler of any stripe as the medieval Christians viewed Pagans and "witches". They advocate violent reprisals against this cult's critics on the path to the cleansing of the entire world of any ideology but this one.
