Why did they call it "national" socialism"
Was it even real socialism?
Where do I look to find objective material on the subject?

This isn't hard.

Did he seize the means of production under state control?

Yes, he was a socialist.

>Did he seize the means of production under state control?
Examples and sources please.
I'm trying to be a good schoolboy here.

>Did he seize the means of production under state control?


>Did he seize the means of production under state control?

not really, he paid for BMWs like we paid GM to make weapons

basically they were just making shit up as they went along though

they even bought their uniforms from hugo boss

it was not like russia where the state owned all the factories

Is that a bunch of leftists explaining national socialism? Do you think many of them read Mein Kampf? I'm guessing not, which makes me wonder, would I trust a rightist to teach me about Marxism, if he's never read Marx?

dude that book is horrible and will teach you nothing but that the man was literally a raving loon

also there was a Gobbles full paragraph quote telling you what you want to know which is the reason i linked it

From Why Are We Socialist? by Joseph Goebbels

Socialism [as the union of all citizens, not as an economic system] is the doctrine of liberation for the working class. It promotes the rise of the fourth class and its incorporation in the political organism of our Fatherland, and is inextricably bound to breaking the present slavery and regaining German freedom. Socialism, therefore, is not merely a matter of the oppressed class, but a matter for everyone, for freeing the German people from slavery is the goal of contemporary policy. Socialism gains its true form only through a total fighting brotherhood with the forward-striving energies of a newly awakened nationalism. Without nationalism it is nothing, a phantom, a mere theory, a castle in the sky, a book.

That book is a significant piece of historical literature, and the only actual primary source of national socialist thought. How could you argue that Das Kapital is worth reading, but not Mein Kampf? I'm reading it now, and he's far from a "raving loon". He's actually quite lucid, especially for having sat down in a prison cell and just start writing.

>That book is a significant piece of historical literature, and the only actual primary source of national socialist thought.

not really it's more like "i should be dictator for life and i hate jews so much"

he basically just did shit as a tyrant than followed a philosophy of doing anything but making war

and it's poorly written, as in i question his intelligence it reads like an angry 17 year old wrote it

more than

So, you haven't read it, you're scared of reading it because you might get "thought cooties", and you have a comic book b-movie charicature of the book's message?
>like an angry 17 year old wrote it
You sound like a 17 year old book critic.
Have you read anything by Marx?
Anything by anyone you didn't like, or who was considered " a bad man"?

he invaded Russia just before winter and got half the women in Germany raped

basically the highest achievement in stupidity since Napoleon tried it

>So, you haven't read it, you're scared of reading it because you might get "thought cooties", and you have a comic book b-movie charicature of the book's message?

i've read it

wow goys its caled demoratic socialism
Do your homework wow
So ignorat
Wew
You guise wud totally love big govt if you weeent so dum

Gee, haven't heard that in every thread that even obliquely mentions the man. Original thoughts ever? Serious thoughts ever? Too scared of history to have mature thoughts, ever?

>i've read it
Clearly not if your takeaway was "i should be dictator for life and i hate jews so much" -- literally the "I've been on Sup Forums and that's what I heard from edgy anons".

no it's not because he was a "bad man" that i think the book is shit and really goes on about the jews to the point of it being tiresome

if you like it that's fine, but i think it's the ravings of an insane person who could have taken europe proper forever but chose poorly

like comically poorly

you like it and don't care he destroyed germany, good for you

I don't like or dislike it. I'm treating it as an artifact of history. You're the one talking about feels, gasping when I mention reading it, like i'll catch a disease, then telling me you've read it, but can't discuss it outside of some pleb tier memes.

Just being a faggot and backpeddaling when you get called on it.

the bible is an artifact of history too, but man there is a lot of bullshit in it

And yet, without being well versed in it, you can't appreciate the majority of English literature. You're missing out if this is how you approach knowledge.

Say goodbye to Shakespeare, Dante's Inferno, Shopenhauer, Nietzsche, most works of Rennaissance Art or literaure... none of it makes sense. You didn't bother with the bible. Well done.

i agree with that statement

i am not missing out, i just didn't like hitler's book, sorry

you are right he wrote it quickly in jail while marx and others took years to write their books

i don't see kampf up there in the super important works of western civ from a "there is good info in here" point of view

as you will just see i attempted to agree with your thoughts on the bible

I doubt hitler's book will inspire the next Nietzsche though

>that Hitler quote

Can we get Bernouts to use this unironically?

>i just didn't like hitler's book
This entire conversation started because you thought I shouldn't read it. >dude that book is horrible and will teach you nothing but that the man was literally a raving loon
whatever

already have on twatter for the past few months.
I also make a lot of fake occupy dems macros.
they repost them without thinking

CruzzMissiles are easy prey too

read it if you want that was just my opinion of it

you can only read so many books in life and i don't think it's up there with Shakespeare, Dante's Inferno, Shopenhauer, Nietzsche, most works of Rennaissance Art or literaure..

let's move on

Protip: it's not "helping" if you're being forced to do it.

>tfw hitler didn't make any quotes about building walls in mexico or deporting the illegals i could put in trumps mouth

All he talked about was deporting illegals.
Didn't you read Mein kampf?

;^)

meant as a joke user

There are tons of Gobbles quotes that would just sound like something any politician would say in a speech

everyone thinks they were monsters but they won the hearts and minds of their people giving speeches you could use anywhere they didn't just go around punching babies all day when trying to get into power

Got links to reading? THat's primarily what I'm interested in. I've seen anons dump tons of original materials, just didn't snag them the first time through. Now that I'm reading Mein Kampf, I want to explore the rest of the rabbit hole.

there are gobbles speeches on youtube with English subs....or there used to be

he was a fucking good speaker

read the rise and fall of the third Reich, it's a 2 volume book, it's REALLY good

ok thanks, i'll try to track it down. some user had a 3rd reich sourcebook, just cant remember the author.

You can't have an "objective" take on an -ism, because it's just an abstract concept formed by a cluster of ideas who are in turn the subject of individual opinion. What it means differs depending on who or what you consult and when. There is no "real national socialism" or "real communism" or "real anarcho-capitalism", and so on. At most different interpretations of one concept have common properties.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preussentum_und_Sozialismus
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Werner_Sombart
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Plenge

There are many forms of socialism and Marxism only became the default with the USSR's influence.

>You can't have an "objective" take on an -ism
Descriptive studies of -isms are commonly what historians attempt to do. Normativity is the realm of philosophers and other ideologues. If we think objectivity doesn't exist at all, then we live in Orwell's nightmare.

thanks

Oh hey, another book I found recently. You would appreciate it if you have an interest in politics and history. Very enlightening.
