Carlsbad is good because he rejects this ridiculous concept of right wingers trying to "adopt" left wing ideas and authors, a thing the online right has been trying to do for a while (eg. Woods, Borzoi). He's also good at bringing back forgotten figures like Haller into the discourse.

You probably find faggots like Buckley , Meyer, and Schlamm to be based.
>They were anti-capitalist
He wasn’t a Marxist Socialist, his understanding of Socialism came from way before the theories of Marx, that is, Johann Fichte’s Ethical Socialism. This is documented in works such as Hitler’s Revolution, Wages of Destruction and The Vampire Economy and the theories of people such as Rudolf Jung, Gottfriend Feder, Anton Drexler, etc. Whom, although did influence the thought of Hitler in German National Socialism didn’t do as much as Fichte.

Nigel "that's not what liberalism is. But you arent allowed to say that it's not liberalism because you are correcting them in the wrong fashion. Liberalism died over a century ago. Also liberalism never existed. Also liberalism is not that bad. No matter what you say about liberalism you will be wrong because you didnt read Hans Ludwig Schneffle Aushaf the 4th's Dissertation on the Prussian state of October 1837(3 copies existing worldwide, not scanned) which was the 3 day window in which liberalism existed while still not being liberalism.

He didn't make wage labor, private property, and markets illegal, nor did he hamstring them so much they stopped functioning properly. This is my benchmark since they're what actually matter. I cannot listen to more commies and fascists yelling about "capitalism" I simply cant do it

>How then did Germany “break the bondage of interest”? Few now know. Rearmament is not a sufficient explanation. Prof. A. J. P. Taylor, the eminent British historian, and hardly a Nazi sympathizer, writes:

>"Fascism, it was claimed, represented the last aggressive stage of capitalism in decline, and its momentum could be sustained only by war. There was an element of truth in this, but not much. The full employment which Nazi Germany was the first European country to possess, depended in large part on the production of armaments; but it could have been provided equally well (and was to some extent) by other forms of public works from roads to great buildings. The Nazi secret was not armament production; it was freedom from the then orthodox principles of economics . . . the argument for war did not work even if the Nazi system had relied on armaments production alone. Nazi Germany was not choking in a flood of arms. On the contrary, the German Generals insists unanimously in 1939 that they were not equipped for war and that many years must pass before “rearmament in depth” had been completed."

>Answering predictions of ruin by orthodox economists throughout the world, Hitler explained that Germany had not withdrawn from world trade but had bypassed the international financial system by means of barter, stating:

>"If certain countries combat the German system this is done in the first instance because through the German method of trading their tricks of international currency and Bourse speculations have been abolished in favor of honest business transactions. . . . We are buyers of good foodstuff and raw materials and suppliers of equally good commodities!"

Nobody as, you have to run an economy. Both example of these experiments including the Union were never socialists according to Marx, Engles and even Lenin, since Classes existed, and can exist, even during the dictatorship of the proletariat. It’s a ridiculous definition. These criticisms hold no weight at all.

Stalinism and Maoism made concessions, with Stalin you had a great number of consumer goods being produced privately and a legal protection for the small commodity producers when even Stalin himself said earlier on that in order for socialism to flourish commodity production must be destroyed

"Let us now pass to the point that they want to introduce socialism in the countryside forthwith. Introducing socialism means abolishing commodity production, abolishing the money system, razing capitalism to its foundations and socialising all the means of production. The Socialist-Revolutionaries, however, want to leave all this intact and to socialise only the land, which is absolutely impossible. If commodity production remains intact, the land, too, will become a commodity and will come on to the market any day, and the "socialism" of the Socialist-Revolutionaries will be blown sky-high. Clearly, they want to introduce socialism within the framework of capitalism, which, of course, is inconceivable. That is exactly why it is said that the "socialism" of the Socialist-Revolutionaries is bourgeois socialism."

ARTICLE 9. Alongside the socialist system of economy, which is the predominant form of economy in the U.S.S.R., the law permits the small private economy of individual peasants and handicraftsman based on their personal labor and precluding the exploitation of the labor of others."

1936 Soviet Constitution, The "Stalin Constitution" https://www.departments.bucknell.edu/russian/const/36cons01.html

"And what kind of legacy did Comrade Stalin leave to the country in the form of the entrepreneurial sector of the economy? There were 114,000 (one hundred and fourteen thousand!) Workshops and enterprises of various directions - from the food industry to metalworking and from jewelry to the chemical industry. About two million people worked for them, who produced almost 6% of the gross industrial output of the USSR, and artels and industrial cooperation produced 40% of furniture, 70% of metal dishes, more than a third of all knitwear, almost all children's toys. The business sector had about a hundred design bureaus, 22 experimental laboratories, and even two research institutes. Moreover, within the framework of this sector, its own, non-state, pension system operated!"

I'm not looking at this from the perspective of "achieving socialism", I'm looking at it from the capitalist perspective of "they destroyed the economy by attempting central command". This is not a black and white issue since no economy is totally free but there is an obvious line and Hitler is on one side of it while Mao and Lenin and Stalin are on the other
