So economically, it seems like nazi germany was basically doomed anyway

can you elabor8 m8?

>I still consider the inner workings of Third Reich Germany an enigma.

I'm pretty sure it was an enigma for the leaders of Nazi Germany, even Hitler himself. One finger had no idea what the others were up to. Hence, why Nazi Germany ultimately became unglued and crumbled under the assault of the better organized Allied Powers.

>So like I said, what caused Venezuela to get into its current mess.

Thankfully, Venezuela didn't bother investing in their military to any meaningful capacity so they're more of a threat to themselves than anything else.

So a butt hurt commie who became mad because the social democratic (communist) party did not win and had no chance of ever being elected again wrote a book on how superior Marxist economic theories can prove how the NS was going to lead to an economic disaster.

Seems legit.

>NS was going to lead to an economic disaster.

Well he wasn't wrong.

Nice meme. Stay mad war mongering kike.

>GDP artificially inflated by out of control military spending

Really gets that noggin' joggin'

Every government places their military spending on top.

In 1933, military spending was just 4% of the German national budget. In 1934, it was 18%. In 1936, it was 39%. In 1938, it was a full 50% of the annual budget. For 1938, that equates to a third of the country's GDP devoted to military expenditure. For comparison purposes, the American military budget was 11% of GDP during 1938.

Who knows, maybe he was only a social communist and was in it for the whole classless society thing. Either way he was right in regards to the Third Reich's economy.

judging by that, all Hitler had to do to win was not piss off America

Well the whole book kinda lines out how economically, the nazi state was basically just socialism (or at best, really REALLY controlled state capitalism since private propety still existed). How people within the system were just sucking money out of the businesses to benefit themselves, hence the term "vampire economy". This is not a good thing when you are a country that relies on imports for important stuff like steel instead of producing it yourself,and that by the time 1939 rolled around, if they didn't start plundering other countries, the system was going to run out of money. It was not a long-term viable economy and even its short-term was plagued by internal problems.

Regardless of the author's own personal feelings, you don't have to be a communist look at how the system operated and find it unsustainable.

>conflating social democrats and communists
shiggy diggy, its like you never read that the two were MORTAL ENEMIES after Ebert used Far Right Paramilitary Freikorps militia to crush a communist uprising against his new socdem government.

>Hurr durr the government took control of the economy to bolster the war effort therefore it was ~socialist~

You could literally say the same thing about the Americans and British.

Well he most likely doesn't know that because he gets his historical knowledge from /pol/ infographics.

>tfw the great depression killed the Weimar Republic after it finally got it's shit together in the mid 20s.
;_;

How can one book BTFO nazis so much?

Because it proves they were incompetent and fucktarded in every way, to the point where all the genociding is a bonus

>War mongering
Hmmm
It's not like Britain had tried to appease Germany time and time again until they decided to throw the toys out of the pram and attack Poland, a neutral country that had a non-aggression treaty with Germany

Read The Wages of Destruction

But it took control of the economy long before the war effort was part of it.

I really hate when books are described as a tour de force

Pick 2

Whoa m8. Germany only invaded Poland to stop the persecution and mass slaughter of the 6 trillion ethnic Germans within Poland.

Entirely justified.

(((Adam)))

>the redpill /pol/ refuses to swallow

LMAO, confirmation bias the book
>Germany has to re-build entire armed forces from scratch
>every western country embargoes them
>economy suffers
>therefore the nazis were planning to conquer
The best part is the idea that Mefo bills are proof of the failure of the system, rather than the nazis beginning the actual implementation of their economic theory. Its like reading a communist critique of the 2000s recession, and finding the conclusion to be that the collapse was due to inadequate adherence to communist ideals. Its a critique of a system through the lens of another system that a-priori rules it to be non-functional

Did you guys know that Germany had a labor-backed currency? Wow, I just now found out about that!

/pol/... easy on the propoganda
