Yes it was a totalitarian regime. Nazis did not embrace Marxism or Capitalism. The state is the point every person, industry, company is dedicated to expanding the states interests. There is no effort to balance the classes. The foundation of Nazism is literally the superiority of certain individuals based on their genetics.
Marxism isn't the alpha and omega of socialism.
Marx argued for a socialism based on class.
Mussolini argued for a socialism based on nationalism.
Hitler argued for a socialism based on racism.

The various flavors of socialism necessarily subject the individual to the aims of the state (whether those aims are described as for the class, nation, or race) and are on the opposite end of the spectrum from a economic order based on individual property rights and freedom of exchange in accordance with their own desires - capitalism requires liberty.

"It is thus necessary that the individual should come to realize that his own ego is of no importance in comparison with the existence of his nation; that the position of the individual ego is conditioned solely by the interests of the nation as a whole ... that above all the unity of a nation's spirit and will are worth far more than the freedom of the spirit and will of an individual. .... This state of mind, which subordinates the interests of the ego to the conservation of the community, is really the first premise for every truly human culture .... we understand only the individual's capacity to make sacrifices for the community, for his fellow man."

-Adolph Hitler, 1933
 
Can you provide references? You are copying and pasting without attribution. Never mind I found the source.

This is an article from David Gordon from the libertarian think tank Mises.

Kind of a pain in the from the phone, so I usually don't unless I'm at my computer.
But as you found you can always cut and paste a chunk through a search engine and turn up the source. Mises.org articles will usually be footnoted as well if you want to look up their referenced sources.

edited to add: Ludwig von Mises actually fled the Nazis, and took contemporaneous interest in their policies that are worth reading if the period interests you.
 
Trump was already President for 4 years and no such dictatorship prevailed. What did prevail was one of the greatest economic growth periods in modern day history.
Yeah more Americans died from Covid in Trump's 4 years than America has lost in all its wars...COMBINED!

Idiot.
 
. It is just something "funny" that they throw in because they don't like his opinions/politics. Usually good for a few likes.
Kinda like goldie jumping on people for posting about politics in a state they dont live in when it goes against her opinions/politics, but not others when the post supports her politics
 
Would you vote Vince McMahon in as President if it meant the economy made more money?

No....no you wouldn't. And Trump is worse than Vince.

This isn't about Biden vs Trump. F*** all of them.
We were much better off under Trump than we are under Biden. Biden’s green energy plan will destroy the economy and greatly weaken our country’s security in addition to our open borders. In addition we are trending towards totalitarianism under Biden- a politicized DOJ and attacks on free speech and religion.
 
It's always so interesting that all the right wingers here are new posters. And it is usually when we lose a different right wing handle. Weird how that works.
Lots of “useful idiots” on this thread (borrowing a term from Stalin).
 
We were much better off under Trump than we are under Biden. (We would've been better off with neither........hope that helps.)

Biden’s green energy plan will destroy the economy and greatly weaken our country’s security in addition to our open borders. (What is this a f***ing political commercial? Are you responsible for making political commercials? I'm making a list btw.....)

In addition we are trending towards totalitarianism under Biden- a politicized DOJ and attacks on free speech and religion. (Sounds like you definitely shouldn't vote for Donald Trump, then, if all that bothers you about Biden. I suggest finding someone to vote for who in your mind isn't going to turn America into a literal hellscape and violate all the rights that are important to you. And no that answer isn't Trump.
You're only gonna get 4 more years of either one of these geriatrics if they're elected, just so you can put that into context of the grand scheme of things when you talk about America being turned into this or that or rights being ended or violated.

You'll only have yourselves to blame for whatever happens because people like you allowed people like Donald Trump and Joe Biden to get elected.

It's just my job to decide whether to clean up your mess or not.



And I haven't decided yet...........................................but I'm getting there.

It is easy to laugh at what you don’t understand.
