    Article does a great job of explaining why nazis used socialism in the name. Communism/Labourism was the hip new thing at the time. The economic philosophy was extremely similar to Ronald Regan’s “Voodoo economics” of trickle down: Massive contracts to German oligarchy would result in a lot of hiring. They would just beat up/round up those who complained about wages.
