all i'm going to do is repost my response to jumpin... if you can't decipher from that what the truth is then as i told him you are beyond help
""Only when it waas absolutely necessary to do so for war efforts did the state take control."
its telling to me that everyone who pushes this narrative uses the exact same article each time, but regardless from your article:
the author is calling branches of government "private entities" here:
"Besides the transfer to the private sector of public ownership in firms, the Nazi government also transferred many public services (some long established, others newly created) to special organizations: either the Nazi party and its affiliates or other allegedly independent organizations which were set up for a specific purpose"
i am calling the nazi party government/state btw in case that wasn't obvious and i don't see how you could consider them anything else in this context
regardless this alone should raise the eyebrow of anyone thinking about this rationally
"On one hand, the intense growth of governmental regulations on markets, which heavily restricted economic freedom, suggests that the rights inherent to private property were destroyed."
the author admits here that the nazis destroyed private property rights... because again as anyone thinking about this rationally understands a business can't be private while being controlled by the state to the extent that they were in nazi germany
“the State in fact divested itself of a great deal of its previous direct participation in industry….But at the same time state control, regulation and interference in the conduct of the economy affairs was enormously extended.”
that there is so much double talk when it comes to this topic should lead people to question things more but alas it does not unfortunately
if this isn't a damning comment i don't know what is
" “I want everyone to keep what he has earned subject to the principle that the good of the community takes priority over that of the individual. But the State should retain control; every owner should feel himself to be an agent of the State….The Third Reich will always retain the right to control property owners.”"
that is socialism in a nutshell if you cannot understand that then there really is no helping you"

Beyond help? Wtf! You are so blinded by your own bias that you cannot approach the subject neutrally. You want the Nazi economy to be socialistic because in your narrow minded world view socialism is the devil, and everything that is evil must then be socialism by default. First you cherry picked the quotes from wikipedia that fitted your narrative. Then someone presents you with an article, that cites primary research. Then you dismiss it, but still go on to cherry pick the information in it that fits your narrative.
The fact that you can't distinguish between public ownership and private ownerships for organizations within the Nazi Party says everything really. That's like saying Donald Trump's businesses are state owned businesses.
The studies are conclusive, the german economy at the time was focused on privatization of the public sector. Which is the opposite of socialism.
Your argument is basicly just: "The government had power - hence Socialism!!" Ignoring the fact that the state didn't use that power to build a public sector. If it did, I would agree with you, but it simply wasn't the case.
What is particularly amusing to me, is that people with your World view always scream that socialism has never worked. And then you claim Nazism is socialism. The evil nature of the Third Reich and its eventual destruction had little to do with their economic model. The economic model of Nazi Germany was actually pretty successful, they made Germany an economic superpower in less than a decade immediately after the economic stranglehold of the Treaty of Versailles and the Wall Street Crash of 1929.
So which is a lie? Nazism being socialism or socialism always failing or both?

"You want the Nazi economy to be socialistic because in your narrow minded world view socialism is the devil"
you would do well to not state that i've made arguments that i do not make
while i do say that i think theft under the threat of violence (socialism) is wrong, i have always conceded that a society needs some degree of redistribution of resources in order to remain stable
i say that just about every time i have one of these discussions... the problem comes about when its taken too far under ideologies such as equality of outcomes
"everything that is evil must then be socialism by default"
nope don't believe that at all when it comes to methods of governance and i can concede that capitalism has problems as well
but socialist are too stupid generally to discern between consequences of just being a living organism and consequences that are a direct consequence of systems of governance
we see that most notably in the idea that inequality as a whole is the result of socialization, which stems from the idea that everyone is just a blank slate and men and women are the same etc etc etc
"First you cherry picked the quotes from wikipedia that fitted your narrative."
wrong for the third time
the quotes i posted to you came from an article another poster quoted in order to demonstrate that private enterprise was at its highest point in nazi germany
...his article hilariously disproves his assertion and he doesn't seem even now to be able to understand that
http://www.ub.edu/graap/nazi.pdf
"Then someone presents you with an article, that cites primary research. Then you dismiss it, but still go on to cherry pick the information in it that fits your narrative."
how can i simultaneously dismiss the article and cherry pick from it?
"The fact that you can't distinguish between public ownership and private ownerships for organizations within the Nazi Party says everything really."
to reiterate from the article you claim is "primary research" (which its not btw)
"On one hand, the intense growth of governmental regulations on markets, which heavily restricted economic freedom, suggests that the rights inherent to private property were destroyed."
" “I want everyone to keep what he has earned subject to the principle that the good of the community takes priority over that of the individual. But the State should retain control; every owner should feel himself to be an agent of the State….The Third Reich will always retain the right to control property owners.”"
"Your argument is basicly just: "The government had power - hence Socialism!!""
if you ignore what i've actually posted then yeah
"What is particularly amusing to me, is that people with your World view always scream that socialism has never worked."
wrong for the fourth time i'm afraid
"The evil nature of the Third Reich and its eventual destruction"
the control of the nazi party over the people of germany was a large part of the evil nature of the third reich and a significant component of that was socialism
"On one hand, the intense growth of governmental regulations on markets, which heavily restricted economic freedom, suggests that the rights inherent to private property were destroyed."
" “I want everyone to keep what he has earned subject to the principle that the good of the community takes priority over that of the individual. But the State should retain control; every owner should feel himself to be an agent of the State….The Third Reich will always retain the right to control property owners.”"
"a political and economic theory of social organization that advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole."
"The economic model of Nazi Germany was actually pretty successful, they made Germany an economic superpower in less than a decade immediately after the economic stranglehold of the Treaty of Versailles and the Wall Street Crash of 1929."
which i have never denied... what the fuck are you on dude?
"So which is a lie? Nazism being socialism or socialism always failing or both?"
if you can go back and find me stating that socialism "fails" whatever the fuck that means i'll owe you a cookie, how about that?
