      speaking of which, nazi supply chains only worked when it came to driving prisoners to the camps. they cared more about exterminating jews on time than getting ammo to the front bc muh elders of zion. nazism is the dumbest possible political system, it doens't just not provide a functioning society, it actively works against having a functioning society.

    anarchism is a political system of pure chaos where leather clad raiders riding whimsical and souped up vehicles attack supply chains

      The nazi's didn't believe in trains and so prefered to invent a system where everyone was expected to own a car

      At the time it was a sarcastic observation at how everything in public life was dysfunctional thanks to the Fash.

          At least the trains run on time I proclaim to myself as the train is late yet again, despite the promises made by the fascists.

    In what way did nazism create a functional society? :stalin-gun-1::stalin-gun-2:

    Nazism collapsed after 10 years in power when their genocidal ideology inevitably demanded war with everyone around them and caused the deaths of tens of millions of people. Does this guy think that was just an accident? Nazi ideology needs to be at war, and because of that it will never create a functional society, even for its chosen übermensch.

      In what way did nazism create a functional society?

      It created a society in which every individual's function was to support a global war effort and if you didn't support the effort (or you had a disability or you were part of an "enemy" ethnicity or you just kinda look at me funny) we immolate you in a big oven.

      Nazism collapsed after 10 years in power when their genocidal ideology inevitably demanded war with everyone around them and caused the deaths of tens of millions of people.

      German Nazism collapsed in the face of a grizzly protracted war against a determined opposition of Soviet heroes. It did not simply disintegrate of its own accord. To imply it was "self-defeating" ignores the millions of patriots who gave their lives to oppose and dismantle it across the Eastern front.

      What's more, the legacy of early 20th century Fascism (which was itself the legacy of American Fascism projected abroad) endured for decades in Brazil and South Africa and the UK and Japan and Texas. It didn't collapse so much as change hosts and forms, like a deadly disease that evolves into a more contagious but less-immediately-lethal variant.

      This isn't over. No more than COVID is over.

        Nazi germany was not "self-defeating" unfortunately, but it's own ideologically motivated ations directly led to its collapse. Any rational german leadership would have desperately been trying to avoid a war with the USSR, but the nazis just couldn't do that because they believed their own lies about racial superiority and anti-communism, which led them to thinking the Soviets would just instatly collapse to a german offensive. They also didn't "need" to make Britain an enemy, or go to war with an entire continent at once, or prioritize committing genocide over the war effort, but due to their completely out-of-touch understanding of reality all those things were deemed necessarry.

        It created a society in which every individual’s function was to support a global war effort and if you didn’t support the effort (or you had a disability or you were part of an “enemy” ethnicity or you just kinda look at me funny) we immolate you in a big oven.

        Which is just not a functional society.

    I may have my qualms about anarchist theoretical development, tactics and organizational strategies, but never in my life did I think the problem with anarchism lies in it's ability to supply treats.

      You'd think if they thought anarchism=barbarism they wouldn't question an anarcho-barbarian's abilty to just go out and grab treats. Of course this style of society would eventually run out of things to grab and the things they did grab would be distributed poorly as the hyper invidualist strongmen would feel morally justified in hording vital resources for their own personal benefit because they "took it all with their own strength" and would collapse the moment they ran into a something they couldn't break down. Like a wall...

      a big red wall...

      the problem with anarchism lies in it’s ability to supply treats

      That's a huge problem with anarchism, from a practical standpoint.

      The authoritarians persist largely because of treat culture. And they perpetuate that treat culture by press-ganging one group of people into slaving away to yield treats for another. Whether you're a plantation owner overseeing the industrial production of tobacco and tea and pretty cotton dresses for the consumer class or you're Herseys or Coca-Cola using slave labor to churn out candies and sodas or you're some S.Korean talent agency milling through thousands of would-be child-stars in order to put together the next hit K-Pop band, the Fascists Bring The Treats.

      Anarchists can't guarantee a steady flow of chocolate and action figures and baseball cards, because they don't have a brutal authoritarian engine of commerce that emits these yummy morsels as a byproduct of their profit-engines. Rather than an endless supply of treats, you're more likely to get a minimalist lifestyle of subsistence farming or hunter-gathering. You'll have lots of free time, but you won't have the surplus product of other people's labor to indulge in.

        Yeah, I guess that is true. I just don't consume any of that, so I didn't even think about it. Closest thing would be sports I guess, or some video games, actually there is probably a lot of food that I consume that is somewhat difficult to come by past exploitation.

    Lol Nazis loved privatizing the shit out of their economy, which, given the massive global recession we're in, after never really recovering from the last one, feels like it would lead to super bad boom and bust cycles, at best.

    Over the course of a few years, Nazism turned Germany from one of the most powerful countries in Europe to the sixth most powerful country in Berlin.
