I'm not sure what this meme is referring to exactly. It was the NSDAP policies that brought Germany from the ashes of the Weimar Republic into being one of the most advanced nations in the world. This happened in just a few short years, while the rest of the world struggled with the aftermath of the Great Depression. There were key differences between national socialism and pure Marxism, like property ownership, etc.
No one can answer for sure, but, given time, it's likely that NSDAP would have morphed into something akin to capitalism if Germany had been allowed to survive following WWII.
I'm not suggesting that national socialism is anywhere close to being the right solution in today's world. But for the place in time, in history, national socialism was the right move for Germany and Germans.
The best answer to this is in the Goebbel's handbook Nazi-Sozi. In that they use the exact same argument that the current day socialists use:
"We are socialists not Marxists"
And then they go on to explain why Marxism is bad, but socialism is good.
Exact same playbook as now.
Knowing what we now know about Nazis (and I am not talking about Hitler here), they were one of the heads of the two headed eagle (along with Communism). Whether Nazis won the war or Commies won the war the result would have been an esnlaved one-government Europe. Luckily Hitler and Stalin thwarted this abomination with mutual destruction.
this meme refers to the German part that built the wall to keep the ppl in. After the end of 2nd World War... this is the Flag of the DDR (Deutsche Demokratische Repubik). It was part of the USSR and completely Socialist until the fall of the Berlin Wall. A completely failed country. Everything they produced was shitty. They where behind decades in every aspect.
I've often wondered at the rapid rise of Germany post WW-I, especially in light of the crippling sanctions levied against them. America could see a huge surge like that (hopefully without the goose-stepping, snappy uniforms, and death camps) if we get rid of pedo-brandon and give Trump the 2nd Term he already rightfully won.
History is kinda fuzzy on the rapid turnaround of the German economy in those days. I wonder why?
You're missing the stranglehold of the Weimar Republic, established after WWI, run by "those-who-can-not-be-named." The goal of the Weimar was to drive the final nail into the coffin, by demoralizing the populace and draining the economy. One of the rules of the Treaty of Versailles was a limitation on the number of troops Germany could maintain. Following Hitler's release from prison, and he began gaining in popularity, he made an uncomfortable (and temporary) alliance with a private militia, and this was the muscle he needed to drive the leaders from power and establish the NSDAP. Later, Hitler realized he could no longer align himself with the militia because of power struggles and different goals, so the militia was eliminated during the "Night of the Long Knives."
It was Hitler's unique form of socialism, coupled with his re-establishment of national pride (lost during the Weimar) that drove the economic engine. The difference between the millions of citizens appearing at marches and parades during the Third Reich, vs. those in China or North Korea today, is that the Germans were there because they WANTED to be there. In fact, most citizens of Europe loved Hitler because they realized he was the only force between them and the bolsheviks.
Socialist are just too stupid to know they are Communists.
Fascists are too stupid to know they are Socialists.
FREEDOM is the rare experiment that has proven to work, unlike the others.
