We are socialists! We are enemies of today's capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property, instead of responsibility and performance, and we are all determined to destroy this system under all conditions." Adolf Hitler, Speech 1927
So, is Hitler talking about, or like, anything familiar to our contemporary circumstance?

Seriously.... it takes all of three seconds to factcheck
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/hitle ... st-system/It came from a political opponent that Hitler assassinated. Anyone who has seen Schindler's List knows that capitalism was alive and well during Nazi Germany. He was making a fortune, literally, buying slave labor so he could sell the fruits of their labor back to the government. In a Socialist country there would be no slaves nor would there be room for an Oscar Schindler to profit off of others.

From the Snopes article - tl;dr Nationalism = Hitler, Socialism = Strasser, National Socialism is their baby.

You are free to offer your own counter-sources.
Or do you only have hastily slapped-together memes scavenged from 4chan to work with?

OMFG. Subs posts a meme that is completely wrong and easily verified. It is fact checked with snopes. Snopes is correct and subs's source is wrong. Subs counter argument is "snopes is not a reliable source for fact checking."
You don't trust snopes? Fine. Have you heard of this method?
How to fact check stuff It's surprisingly easy.
