I've recently been reading a lot about ~~Marxism~~ Nazism from both sides of the table but it seems that the anti-~~Marxism~~Nazi side of the table only has one thing to offer: It hasn't worked so it must not be a good system. My biggest argument against that is that it's stupid logic and that there are plenty of systems such as our own capitalist system which for many many many people has failed. I'm calling on ~~Marxists~~ Nazi sympathizers and ~~communist~~ fascist leaning persons to give me some of their views and ideas on ~~Marx~~ Hitler and ~~Marxist~~Nazi political philosophy.

TL;DR Sure my ideology murdered tens of millions of people, but capitalism is mean.

Nazism, the common short form name of National Socialism (German: Nationalsozialismus) was the ideology and practice of the Nazi Party and of Nazi Germany. It is a unique variety of **fascism** that incorporates **biological racism and antisemitism.**

Nazism was founded out of elements of the far-right racist völkisch German nationalist movement and the **violent anti-communist Freikorps paramilitary culture that fought against the uprisings of communist revolutionaries in post-World War I Germany.** The ideology was developed first by Anton Drexler and then Adolf Hitler as a means to **draw workers away from communism and into völkisch nationalism.** Initially Nazi political strategy focused on anti-big business, anti-bourgeois, and anti-capitalist rhetoric, though such aspects were later downplayed in the 1930s to gain the support from industrial owners for the Nazis, focus was shifted to **anti-Semitic and anti-Marxist themes.**

Meanwhile:

The Marxian analysis begins with an analysis of material conditions, taking at its starting point the necessary economic activities required by human society to provide for its material needs. The form of economic organization, or mode of production, is understood to be the basis from which the majority of other social phenomena — including social relations, political and legal systems, morality and ideology — arise (or at the least by which they are greatly influenced). These social relations form the superstructure, of which the economic system forms the base. As the forces of production, most notably technology, improve, existing forms of social organization become inefficient and stifle further progress.

These inefficiencies manifest themselves as social contradictions in society in the form of class struggle. Under the capitalist mode of production, this struggle materializes between the minority who own the means of production (the bourgeoisie), and the vast majority of the population who produce goods and services (the proletariat). Taking the idea that social change occurs because of the struggle between different classes within society who are under contradiction against each other, the Marxist analysis leads to the conclusion that capitalism oppresses the proletariat, the inevitable result being a proletarian revolution.

Seems like your comparison doesn't hold up. Your hatred for anything associated with "communism" does bear some interesting parallels, though.

I'm a ~~Marxist ~~ Nazi and that's ok.
