Funny story time. My Spanish teacher/advisor decides to attack capitalism in front of me. I let him him after telling him he was flat out wrong, then he said that Nazi's were Capitalist. Ten minutes ago, I beat him by going to the Wikipedia page of capitalism, then doing a cntrl + F search for capitalism, which showed three results. All under the heading: ANTI-CAPITALIST RHETORIC. He tried to string together a couple abscure words to beat me, but I showed his sentence said this: "...use of pro-labor rhetoric appealed to those DISAFFECTED with capitalism by promoting the limiting of profits, the abolishing of rents and the increasing of social benefits (only for Germans) while simultaneously presenting a political and economic model that divested “Soviet socialism” of elements that were dangerous to capitalism, such as the concept of class struggle, “the dictatorship of the proletariat” or worker control of the means of production. Thus, Nazism’s populism, ANTI-COMMUNISM and ANTI-CAPITALISM helped it become more powerful and popular..." yaddayaddayadda Epic win! And to celebrate: ENJOY CAPITALISM!

Nazi's were fascists, and thus are super capitalists. Yet ironically enough, they were the German National Socialist Party. But yeah Capitalism is just as unattainable as Communism. America suffers from Capitalism's evil brother Corporatism. And besides, we do have some socialist programs within our government (the educational system, mail, etc)
But yeah, your teacher is a cunt.

The reasoning of the Nazism is that both Capitalism and Communism are evil in their eyes, so they tried to create a 'third path' between the two polar opposites.

not exactly. Hitler's political views definitely favored capitalism. However, during speeches he would often just say what the crowd wanted to hear. Besides, our government is an intermediate between communism and fascism. Here's the political/economic spectrum we are about dead center. Nazi Germany was bottom right.

I'm not kidding, he actually did. like i said, tell your teacher to move to Europe, where socialism may be working just fine for now. But the second they start exporting shit (IE becomes a true world power) it'll all go to hell and back.

See, because he's used to prissy Canadian whiners, he wrote a email to my dad about the incident because he thought I would bitch to the Headmaster.
