A 100 % capitalist doesn’t support freezing entitlements into today’s socialist maze, doesn’t want increased tariffs, the cause of the Great Depression, doesn’t want government controlled health care prices, or government taking of private property. Those are the positions of National Socialists.

The lowering of tariffs in the teens is the actual cause. That helped create the boom and excesses of the 20's and the inevitable bust. When tariffs were restored to historical values that did exacerbate the G.D. but it was not the cause.
