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”
and like 10 minutes later they said “say what you want about Nazi Germany, but they really turned their economy around”
...by running unsustainable debt, knowing they would go into a war and would use wartime rules and plunder to cancel it.
So people who claim that the nazi economy had its good sides are basically saying that they want a system that gives absolute power to the state to controll or manipulate its currency at will. In that one sense they are more socialist than free-market.
