The Nazis could hardly be called Marxist since unlike the Communists in Russia they didn’t abolish private property, didn’t abolish the Church, in fact they invented their own church, The Reich Church with Ludwig Muller as its bishop.

Marxism is not about abolishing private property. That’s communism. Marxism is about controlling private property. With communism, you abolish private property to control it. With fascism, you control private property via the bureaucracy. Both communism and fascism attain the same goal - giving government control of private property, whether through government control or abolishment.
It’s nuanced, for sure. But either way - through communism or fascism - individuals have no property rights.
Take care, jmacusa.
