As I said, I'm using right/left in terms of economic policy, nothing more. If you want to discuss this more in terms of social politics like conservative and liberal, have at it. But that isn't where I'm coming from.

Did you miss my post or are you ignoring it because I make you look stupid?
And please don't pretend like this isn't entirely about associating the left with the Holocaust. Otherwise why would anyone care about bringing up Nazi economics? It's not a particularly interesting subject tbh unless you're just that interested in the Third Reich.

And of course all of this is decided on the fly with a system that has no coherent plan and just wings it. So to call it socialist is as ignorant as it is to call it capitalist.
Fascism and Nazism in practice actually have more to do with a capitalist oligarchy than anything else, since corporations technically operate independently, but have government appointed liaisons to make sure that the state is represented. There was in effect the same kind of relationship between business and state as there is in the modern Western world due to the tendency of these liaisons to move either from government positions to business positions or vice versa (as in lobbyists). So while there was technically a separation of business and government, money talks in the same way that it does with... us I guess.
Or you have no idea what you're talking about unless Rush Limbaugh tells you what you're talking about.
And all of this ignores that the only reason any right winger ever came up with this argument was to associate the left with the Holocaust. So by keeping up with this garbage, Goofle, you are in effect using the Holocaust for your own cheap means to attack the left because I guess you just don't give a **** and like winning arguments.
