I’d disagree with one thing, though. The anti-Semitism was associated with both things international and industrial. One of Hitler’s speeches was decrying the union organizer Kahn and his cousin Cohn the industrialist, how they pretend to be at loggerheads with each other, but the fact that they’re both Jewish proves that they’re really conspiring together. National socialism takes elements of collectivism and elements of capitalism and makes a cocktail out of them. Jews come to mean the elements of both movements that don’t make it into the cocktail, the internationalism that destroys nationalism, and the exploitation of Germans to enrich private individuals (instead of enslaved untermenschen being used in evil experiments to help develop aspirin for Bayer, as G-d meant them to be).
Right, but Cohn would presumably have access to credits on the international banking scene which were denied to Germany.
Of course the Nazis were socialist — that’s in the name — and so like any socialist would also use class hatred to attain their ends.
There were many die-hard socialists in the Nazi party, Hitler was more of a pragmatist, in that he wasn’t driven by ideology, he used Capitalism when it was to his benefit, and socialism when it was to his benefit. And anti-semitism was the glue.
