| − | The [[National Socialist German Workers' Party]] was socialist in name only. The term "socialist" was adopted in order to increase membership, as many Germans were destitute at the time and therefore were open to socialist ideas. It was also used to lure Germans away from the Communist Party (another powerful political group and the Nazis' chief rival) by making the (false) claim that they were socialist as well. In fact, the Nazi Party was composed of hard-core fascists, going so far as to execute Liberals (Social Democrats). The Nazis valued many conservative principles, such as using religion to control the masses, scaring the public with fears of Communist incursion (hint, hint: McCarthy) propaganda, and anti-Semitsm. Please disregard the article below.

| − | What Mises identified was that private ownership of the means of production existed in name only under the Nazis and that the actual substance of ownership of the means of production resided in the German government. For it was the German government and not the nominal private owners that exercised all of the substantive powers of ownership: it, not the nominal private owners, decided what was to be produced, in what quantity, by what methods, and to whom it was to be distributed, as well as what prices would be charged and what wages would be paid, and what dividends or other income the nominal private owners would be permitted to receive. The position of the alleged private owners, Mises showed, was reduced essentially to that of government pensioners. | + | What Mises identified was that private ownership of the means of production existed in name only under the Nazis and that the actual substance of ownership of the means of production resided in the German government.

| − | Unfortunately, what many do not realize is that a government usually operates as described above in times of war. The Nazi German goverment was never observed in true peace and therefore cannot be described as "socialistic".

| | De facto government ownership of the means of production, as Mises termed it, was logically implied by such fundamental collectivist principles embraced by the Nazis as that the common good comes before the private good and the individual exists as a means to the ends of the State. If the individual is a means to the ends of the State, so too, of course, is his property. Just as he is owned by the State, his property is also owned by the State.<ref>http://mises.org/daily/1937</ref>}} | | De facto government ownership of the means of production, as Mises termed it, was logically implied by such fundamental collectivist principles embraced by the Nazis as that the common good comes before the private good and the individual exists as a means to the ends of the State.
