They were no kind of socialist.
- KMag 4y agoIt was ethnostate socialism. It was a command economy where industry was at the service of the people, but they had a perverse idea of who their people were and who they weren't. It really was a left-wing economic model with extreme right-wing social policy, plus lots of genocide.

So it was a right-wing political model (with lots of genocide) that happened to have a somewhat left-wing economic model. In economics, economics ranks above politics, but in politics, politics ranks above economics. And Nazism was (is) a political ideology, not a school of economics.
