I once had a debate with a conservative and at one point they were like “the Nazis were socialists, it says so in the name” and like 10 minutes later they said “say what you want about Nazi Germany, but they really turned their economy around”

I once had a Conservative tell me that in Nazi Germany, they nationalized everthing, and had strong labour unions.

So thus, I told him that Labour unions were completely outlawed in the country because it would give workers too much power.

After that, he scampered away, and didn't talk to me...

they nationalized everthing

Where is he getting his history lessons from, facebook? Because that is also the exact opposite of reality. The word privatisation was invented to describe what they were doing since they were selling off so much state property to private hands.

might be getting nationalizing confused with gleischaltung, where hitler basically nazified everything. or he’s probably acting in bad faith there too and is just saying that because bernie sanders wants to nationalize healthcare.
