"The term Fascism was first used of the totalitarian right-wing nationalist regime of Mussolini in Italy (1922–43), and the regimes of the Nazis in Germany and Franco in Spain were also fascist. Fascism tends to include a belief in the supremacy of one national or ethnic group, a contempt for democracy, an insistence on obedience to a powerful leader, and a strong demagogic approach."
National Socialists. That’s what NAZI stood for.
The state is inherently socialist, because it monopolizes and nationalizes the means of production of justice and security. By claiming the authority to tax--and by actually doing so--it proves that the state is the actual owner of the property being taxed, and of the labor of those taxed, and of the "means of production" used to earn the income that's taxed. Only ownership would confer any right to exact rent or dividends.
Yeah, the National Socialist German Workers’ Party was no different from the Socialists in Russia, China, Cambodia, Cuba, or Venezuela.
Yes, but it arose from the National Socialist German Workers Party.
Please see the Hayek quote on my FR profile page. It’s the third one down, two paragraphs. He was a trained contemporaneous observer. And I’ll try to send you another good link or two on the general subject when I’m on my computer.
The Nazis and Italian Fascists were national socialists, the Soviets were international socialists. From the standpoint of someone who really believes in individual freedom there isn’t a nickel’s difference between the two.
I agree with your definition when it comes to the race component. However, NAZI is an abbreviation for National Socialist German Workers’ Party. They believed in state provided health care, agricultural price control, guaranteed pensions, conditional private property rights, a command economy, and a disdain for capitalism. Everything the libs of today believe in.
