    you might say they’re similar (my definition)

    …protect private property

    except the jews’. anyway i know it’s just a meme

    somehow the nazi’s have connections with both sides of the arab/jew conflict

      The Nazis were deeply anticommunist, and tried to shift advancing hatred of the Bourgeoisie towards Jewish people. This is where the idea of “Judeo-Bolshevism” came from, the idea that Jewish peoples were heavily Communist, and why the Nazis depicted Jewish people as “greedy merchants and bankers,” somehow both Communist and significant portions of the Bourgeoisie. Deep irrationality is the core of Nazism.

      Make no mistake, the Nazis were never pro-Palestinian. The Nazis have been always anti-Jewish and anti-Palestinian, as well as anti-Slav, anti-LGBT, anti-Black, etc. The Nazis have no connections to Palestinian liberation, only to its subjugation. Read To Stop Marx, they made Zion.

        so we agree that saying Nazism emerged as a means to protect private property and its holders was an oversimplification

          Over or under simplification depends on context. Even what I just described is the method by which they protected the big business owners and private property, and siezed the property of Jewish people and other targets of the Holocaust.

          What do you think I’m leaving out? Simply saying it’s an oversimplification doesn’t really give me much to address, you have to tell me what I’m missing in saying it.

            in fact for meme purposes we could say that socialism is just a form of capitalism

              In what manner? Again, what do you think Capitalism is, and why do you say Socialism could be considered a form of it? You’ve never answered that.

                in the same way that this meme compares nazism and capitalism, one can do a similarly amusing one with socialism

                  How? Please explain, I have asked you to elaborate several times. Nazism is a form of Capitalism, it isn’t distinct from it but merely the same underlying system in different circumstances. Socialism is entirely different, ergo you can’t make the same comparison.

                    in the same way that nazis worked with capitalists, socialists have worked with capitalists to achieve their goals

                    you haven’t proved nazism is a form of capitalism just because certain capitalists were supporting their politics. nazism is not an economic system
