The Nazi's(especially early on) includes some socialist elements in their politics to try and gain support but its pretty obvious they were corporatists right wingers, came to power via alliance with conservatives like Von Papen and Hindenburg, worked with big industrialists, suppressed trade unionists and the SDP very strongly.
Sounds like the majority of failed communism and socialism experiments.......
In what way? The home ownership rate in China is over 90%. Since the 70s, over 800 million Chinese people have been lifted out of poverty. That is the single greatest movement of upward mobility in human history. To lift nearly 1 billion people out of poverty in only 50 years, is just an unbelievable accomplishment. Based on the stats, I'd say their system has been a smashing success for delivering human prosperity, wouldn't you?
What are the statistics you would point to, to draw comparisons between Weimar Germany and modern China?
The Nazi economy has been described as dirigiste by several scholars.[11][12] Overall, according to historian Richard Overy, the Nazi war economy was a mixed economy that combined free markets with central planning; Overy describes it as being somewhere in between the command economy of the Soviet Union and the capitalist system of the United States.[13]
Similar mix as China right now and China is most definitely on an economic war footing with the west.
So you could say that Hitler should have started an economic war instead of a conventional war, he might have done better.
