Tell me some more about how you aren't incoherent when you can't even remember what you said yesterday.
Again, not my definition:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-Marx_socialists
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_socialism#Origins_of_socialism
You're just like Trump, it's always hard to know if you're lying in bad faith or just being plain stupid.
So that was not my definition and I haven't changed it. Now could you explain how I'm using the word "socialism" in order to qualify what I feel is good and disqualify the rest before changing subject?
Because that was your last accusation even if as usual you try to change subject rather than answer with honest arguments.
If that's your definition then yes Nazis were socialists indeed.
As you seem to ignore the definition I have written I will ask you to give us your definition of socialism and which countries implemented it
You will probably say "Real socialism has never been tried"
Right?
No I'm not ignoring it, it's just that when you say "collectivization" it can be understood in two ways:
-either as "nationalized" which means a part of the economy must be owned by the government, and that seemed to be your meaning here
-either as "under control of the population" which would be my understanding of the word
If we go with the "nationalized" then yes Nazis were socialists that's just factual.
But what I'm trying to say is that it's not a very useful word if that's the case. Because if for you, any country where the government owns parts of the economy is a socialist country (I'm not going to be of bad faith, let's say "important parts of the economy" because obviously there can some exceptions) then:
-Iran is a socialist country
-Nazi Germany was a socialist country
-China is a socialist country
-USSR was a socialist country
-France is a socialist country
-India is a socialist country
-ISIS is a socialist country
-Lybia is a socialist country
So... You have all the right to use socialist in this meaning. It just seems a bit empty and useless when you can qualify France, Iran, ISIS and China by the same word.
Hell, by this meaning even USA might be called socialist, I don't know your economy well enough to be able to say so though.
I would lean towards the second meaning of the word socialist which is much more interesting and different. And under this meaning, Nazis were not socialist.
