Socialists CAUSED the middle class to die with their support of central banking and insane government intervention.

They absolutely hate the working class and the only thing that actually increases their living standards, the free market.

Why do socialists love to lick boots?

When has your retarded system EVER worked? The most recent example, venezuela was a massive failure. They tried countless worker co-ops there and 90% of them went bankrupt. The entire country slips into massive poverty and hyperinflation.

Money printing means wages are constantly being devalued. You have to get a raise every year to break even. Money flows from the government into those close to the government, concentrating wealth.

kek, the "growth" was mediocre at best. Many other countries with liberalized markets had much higher growth rates.
Just because the government is stimulating GDP by printing and spending money doesn't mean they are "growing".

Nazi germany was shit for the typical citizen. The real germany economic miracle happened after ww2 when the economy liberalized.

no it isn't there is no correlation between union rate and real wages/living standards for workers
Unions themselves fuck over non-union workers by creating labor cartels and raising prices for the goods and services non-union workers buy.
The idea that unions raise real wages for all workers makes no logical sense. The workers are receiving 99% of the consumer goods and services economy wide, what does artificially raising wages for union workers do? It just raises prices for everything else. Nobody is better off except some of the union workers.

We should try National Capitalism in America. Maybe NatSoc can still be for Europe, but not for us. It just wouldn't sell.

National Capitalism would basically be like Libertarianism, minus the anti-White endgame where Libertariasm eventually leads.

Companies would be free to talk with people, trade with people, but once they start flooding the country with non-White immigrants to replace the White ones of this country (because we demand a higher paycheck) that company would be shut down. Similar for companies who outsource, etc.

A capitalism tempered around racial identity is the way.

The prosperity effect of industrialization is slowly tapering off as everything consolidates and we're having a return to mean moment as irresponsible people become poor again.

This prosperity has a price to pay and that is descending into 3rd world living standards but without the reinforced 3rd world communities where everyone helps each other since everyone has been so brainwashed by individualism propaganda for the last half-century.
