    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

                  The Nazis were Capitalists. The Nazi party was largely made up of big business owners and other such people, the Nazis gained power that way. Nazism is a Politcal-Economic system, you cannot sepparate Politics from Economics.

                  I think you need to do more research on what we are talking about, especially because you haven’t explained why we can make the same meme about Socialism.

                    you can easily make the same meme because this meme is just “here’s a bunch of shitty things people that happen to be capitalists have done”, find a bunch of nice things capitalists have done for the whole of society and your done, there’s a bunch

                    the nazis were not inspired by capitalism to do what they did, they had lots of other motivations. ironically enough they were finally put down by capitalists
