Hitler was opposed to Marxism. Not communism. He wrote lengthy about this. The economy was forced to be set up like the communist social statecentric collectivism. The collective culture was just different from today’s. But it was forced into the communities just like the ideology is today. Schools were used, the youth activated. Mao and Stalin as well. It was National not international, rather forcing the national expansion outwards. My family lived through that and the DDR. They we’re witnessing it in real time. Companies forced to be handed over or at least have a state agent in the company deciding if it was in the state’s interest. And they could not flee without the threat of being murdered.
