“his staunch belief in pro industry growth”
The Bolsheviks promised industrial miracles, too. Hitler may have been funded in part by Big Business, but there is no necessary connection between it and “conservatism.” They’re don’t even reliably defend the status quo. Those to the left of Hitler would have you believe Big Business equals rightism, and they’d be correct from their perspective. Because everyone is to the right of them, Hitler included. But this fantasy both have that they are polar opposites of eachother is no sense.
Here’s the straight dope. Nazis and commies hated eachother so fiercely because they were after the same constituency. Those who went Nazi when the Nazis rose to power were those who had previously voted leftist. It never was a lie; the German equivalent of Wall Street wasn’t hoodwinked. It was right there in the name: national socialism. You might as well say the real Wall Street was betrayed by Bush the Younger when he abandoned free market principles to save the free market, or however he put it. Then you’d hafta believe Wall Street stands for the free market. But who ever told you that? Probably someone just to the left of Big Business with a bone to pick.
International finance capital funded the Bolsheviks, too, by the way. But that’s a whole other story.
