They were heavy supporters of capitalism, despite what their propaganda said (which you seem to have a keen interest in).

So your view is that the poster does not reflect the National Socialists' beliefs and that they lied to their supporters about their opposition to capitalism and belief in socialism?

Yes, since the actions of the Nazis were not only not socialist but in fact capitalist, they did lie to their people and opposition. There was a reason they originally portrayed themselves as Nazis, it was because in inter-war Germany Socialism was very popular, and they used that fact to get elected.

Anyone is a potential criminal. Racists are just particularly problematic because racists are especially susceptible to radicalisation.

White supremacism is already 'too far'.

Saiwania wrote:...and hurt the movement in the long term when it is already in a state of mere survival and disarray from the simple fact that there are fewer Whites


That's a nonsense. If there were a statistically meaningful reduction in the white population, that would make the 'movement' of white racists easier.

Saiwania wrote:...and all the non-White ethnicities are growing to a larger share of the total gene pool. For racists to function nowadays, we pretty much have to practice what we preach covertly.


Racists should 'practice' covertly. It's okay for you to have these prejudices, it's not okay for you to share them or act on them.

Have you ever heard of propaganda?

Yet. Let us consider some examples.

Image
A British poster from WWII. Did the British government want women working in factories, or not?

Image
An American poster from WWII. Did the American government consider people volunteering information about shipping routes a problem, or not?

Image
A Japanese poster from WWII. Did the Japanese government want Australians to be worried about their wives sleeping with allied servicemen back home, or not?

Image
A more modern propaganda poster. Does the US government want people to recycle, or not?

Propaganda isn't synonymous with lies. It has a definite purpose and factual claims it makes may or may not be true (maybe loose lips don't sink ships!), but it ultimately reflects the values that it wants to impart to its audience. It has to, because otherwise it serves no purpose. In their election poster the Nazis are stating that 1. capitalism is bad and 2. they are a better choice for someone who opposes capitalism than the Social Democrats. This is a weird thing to say if they actually support capitalism. How many parties in history have stood on a platform opposite to their actual beliefs, and somehow managed to maintain consistency over many decades and after taking in millions of new members, who weren't in on the scam? This is a conspiracy theory of a very high order.

Yes, since the actions of the Nazis were not only not socialist but in fact capitalist, they did lie to their people and opposition. There was a reason they originally portrayed themselves as Nazis, it was because in inter-war Germany Socialism was very popular, and they used that fact to get elected.

I don't think you are right. The National Socialists, like the Italian Fascists, believed in an economy managed by the state via regulation of corporatist cartels. Every historical work I've read that treated the German economy in this time has supported that view.

That's fascinating. It precisely mirrors the common belief among Muslims that terrorist attacks committed by Islamic extremists in the West are false flag operations on the part of Jews, Israel, the US, the UK, etc.

Because I looked at them really closely with an image editor, and you can clearly see they are fakes. Even someone with just a cursory knowledge of historic symbolism, knows they cannot possible be correct.


Challenge accepted. Tell me how are they fakes and I shall respond.

Ardoki wrote:The first one is obviously a fake. If it were truly Soviet it would say 'CCCP' (Союз Советских Социалистических Республик). Instead it has 'PCCP' written on it, which proves it has nothing to do with the Soviet Union. I'm not sure if you were trying to mislead me, as it is obviously fake.


For your reference, it says "RSFSR" when translated to Cyrillic. Sorry but if you knew Russian (I speak barely, but know Cyrylic) you would have known that the Ф sign in the middle stands for "f" letter in English. The same that if you known that USSR was created in 1922. That pin is from Polish - Bolshevik war (1919-1921), which ended year before. In that time there was no USSR: there was RSFSR, Russian Socialist Federative republic, or Российская Советская Федеративная Социалистическая Республика if you want Russian that much.

Ardoki wrote:The second one does nothing to prove the Nazis were Socialist. Have you ever heard of a Socialist who privatises state-owned corporations?


I have not seen, but that is conditional; if the corporations are private, it does not mean that they are free in the market. In Nazi Germany corporations were not allowed to operate freely, but restricted on every move by ministry of economy.

Let me quote somebody:

"“We are socialists, we are enemies of today’s capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are determined to destroy this system under all conditions.”
Adolf Hitler - See more at: http://alphahistory.com/nazigermany/naz ... 2Oi8f.dpuf"

“The Reichswirtschaftsministerium (‘Reich Ministry of Economic Affairs’) tells the shop managers what and how to produce, at what prices and from whom to buy, at what prices and to whom to sell. It assigns every worker to his job and fixes his wages. It decrees to whom and on what terms the capitalists must entrust their funds. Market exchange is merely a sham.”

The origins of National Socialism were very much anti-capitalist in conjunction with its anti-Semitism. Goebbels remained a hardline socialist, for instance. But by the time Hitler rose to power, much of that message was thrown away.

I occasionally like to keep tabs on Stormfront to see how they'll react to certain events and a lot of what their users say is a load of crap. The tone there is so much more rude and hostile than what would ever be allowed here. But it is a fact that plenty of Muslims and White supremacists do illegal things. So it isn't hard for me to believe that Dylann Roof did shoot up a Black church.

Stormfront needs to own up to the fact that radicals gravitate towards them. I don't believe this ZOG members keep referring to. I'm not sure what these people have against Jews because I'd much rather support Israel over Palestine. It is probably because they have a large neo-Nazi presence and they of course- can't get over the fact that the Holocaust has irreparably damaged the NSDAP brand which they want to revive or emulate. I can't become apart of that website in good conscious seeing the amount of vitriol and disunity there. I'm simply not ideologically pure enough for them.

The Nazis did exactly what they said they would do: establish a regimented economy on the basis of nationalised industries on the one hand, and "class collaborationist" business cartels obeying instructions from the ministries on the other. Imperializt Russia, in his drive-by manner, thinks that this is "absolutely not socialist and entirely capitalist", but this is a purely semantic attack. It's exactly what the Nazis said they would do in their manifestos, and therefore how they justified their claim to be an anti-capitalist party.
