But Nazi is short for National-Socialist.
Yes, it is. It was originally coined as an insult and continues to be used as such today. Because National Socialism is so widely misunderstood and reflexively maligned, and because "NAZI" was co-opted by violent thugs, followers of true National Socialism try to avoid the term.
“Typical boom/bust cycles” are not only typical but inevitable under capitalism.
True. Doesn't negate my original point.
38% of business economists expect a recession this year and more than 70% expect one either this year or in 2021.
So it's as i said; the majority of economists expect the economy to keep growing for some time. A recession before the elections is unlikely; a severe crash, less likely.
Communism is the second way
True.
the only alternative to the capitalist blind alley
False. NS, despite communists' never-ending labeling of everything they don't like as capitalist, isn't capitalist. All functioning large economies balance economic freedom with controls. Capitalism and Communism both get it wrong, and with negative consequences not just for the working folks' physical but also spiritual well-being. Both seek to control. NS seeks to nurture.
and fascism (including its Nazi variant) quibble over at the margins.
One can only call NS capitalist if one labels any degree of economic freedom -- which NS has -- as "capitalist."
There is no economic necessity for such under a planned economy
True. Also true under a guided economy, such as advocated by NS. Communism suppresses all economic freedom and eradicates the individual rewards of it. The collective is all and all are brought to lowest common point. NS, by contrast, permits economic freedom and the rewards of it, constraining and managing it all for the good of the people and nation. Much of US law is supposed to do the same but doesn't because government is in the hands of capital and the masters of it rather than in the hands of the people.
I find it funny that the entire establishment, "both" sides for those of you who still buy into that, is shatting themselves.
How so?
Actually we bailed out capitalism recently with socialism to save capitalism from its own endogenous malfeasance.
To some, poorly implemented, degree. Less with socialism, really, than with fascism.
Well said, btw, "endogenous malfeasance."
The contraction of the american empire is a given
and not a bad thing...
when and how will be determined by our own arrogance and hubris.
Nah, by those who chose for it to happen ... unless we the people make it otherwise.
