Couple of points. Please don’t go to ODS’s channel to mass-downvote his videos or anything like that. Don’t call him names etc. I want to persuade him (and others) to take this more seriously, not turn them hostile. And I know this isn’t my usual video format, and I wasn’t going to release it on a Monday… but then I thought, no, this deserves to be a Monday video. I actually think there’s something for everyone here. My haters will love it because I get “owned”. My supporters will love it because… (no spoilers). And that final 10 minutes is one of my favourite pieces of video I think I’ve ever made! You may not think so, but I certainly do! Regardless, I hope you enjoy the video. Let me know what you learned. I may actually upload the final 10 minutes as a separate video later this week, because I think it’s brilliant. Seriously, how close can you be to seeing the light!? Cheers!
@Imperion I'm better at planned content. Even though this was a 'reaction video', I still took a few days to consider my response. And I also was able to put sources in the video, which I can't do live.
TIK you know damm well these jerk-offs will try to defend Socialism any way they can. They understand your argument perfectly well but CANT admit Hitlers embracing Socialism nor that Nazism was a LEFTIST phenomena. They simply cant own that one.
“He is quoting Hitler but Hitler was a liar, it is all lies!” 5min later: “Hitler himself says…” This guy is all over the place, lol. Also, I am not sure where he saw Hitler talking favourably about Capitalism. I am no expert but I have read a certain amount of history and every Nazi quote I’ve ever seen has talked negatively about Capitalism.
Hitler didn't view capitalism favorably. He claimed that he was a socialist, but Marxists and Bolsheviks had stolen the term and confused its meaning. Essentially, Nazism is socialism with national and racial identity. "We will achieve the goals that Marxism, Leninism, and Stalinism failed to achieve".
@Tim B I have read and listened to many of Hitler's speeches, not sure what watching them will do. I think people get confused because Hitler was not a stable man. However, for anyone to suggest that he did not hate capitalism and the global economy is just insincere, in fact it was one of the main reasons behind his anti-semitism. It's there in his speeches and his writings.
Yes, that's exactly how I saw it too when I was plugged in. You automatically assume that Hitler can't be like you, because Socialism is so wonderful... if only we can make them see that it's not as wonderful as people imagine when they buy into the ideology

@@nenmaster5218 If you want to do your views justice you might want to consider writing them in a way that doesn't make the readers brain hurt. Also you might want to present an argument other than "this guy doesn't agree with me therefore he is wrong." Regardless of whether or not you agree with TIK, you cannot reasonably claim that he does not contend with the counter arguments. The idea that he is never able to be convinced of anything is objectively false, as I have seen him change his mind on multiple issues. Therefore the claim that "he will never be convinced by anything" is objectively disprovable and demonstrates that your perception does not align with reality. Then again, when defending your religious beliefs I understand that reality comes secondary to orthodoxy, especially when it comes to demonizing outsiders. Consider deconverting.
>"Hitler wasn't a socialist at all!" > *gives verbatim quote where Hitler says what he wants that reflects what he clearly tried to do* >"Hitler lies!" >"Also, here's a Hitler quote that proves he's a capitalist." The absolute state of socialists...
Leftists have been trying to cope with their failures in the last century, even Adorno defined authoritarianism and facism as right wing even though the worst facist states (Germany and USSR) were based on left wing ideologies.
Drac you full of crap. Herr Hitler was indeed a socialist and not a capatalist. You really do not have a clue what the term socialist means then. May be you need a good steak out?
@@hariman7727 Oh yes, because as we all know, authoritarian politicians never lie, redefine terms, or make up claims/promises to get elected. That would be absolutely silly to even consider, right?
yeah because he wasn't a socialist at all, not that hard funny, when one actually examines his own words and terminology, they come to that conclusion, any other conclusion is just impossible That's why, after all, the actual "verbatim quotes" can be examined within context and found to contain nothing like what you're asserting. The actual quotes where hitler says what he wants that reflects what he tried to do, prove he wasn't a socialist. The problem is, you'll take any assertion of propaganda or any term ripped from definition and context, and claim it "clearly" proves socialism... which you've had to lie about and redefine to even get to that conclusion. Hardly clear. the fact that you're very willing to exclusively take him on his word is worrying but hey, as long as you feel you can dismiss any evidence you don't like, you won't see that. Odd, when did "historian" or "person in tune with basic reality" become "socialist?"
This is REAL RACISM and Mass Murder. Ask yourself would this be allowed in any majority white city/town/community: In 2019 there were in total 8679 homicides of People of Color and in 2020 there were 9913 homicides of People of Color according to the FBI …

"What does racism have to do with socialism, I don't get it." This was absolute gold and really showed how ignorant they are. When it comes to Hitler's socialism, racism has everything to do with it.

All you people saying he’s so calm listening to them talk bs, that’s how you’re supposed to be when looking back at history. This is why TIK is one of my favorite historians, you separate your life expectations/experience/ego from the situation and research the topic.
A good example of this was seen in the Eisenhower vs Montgomery video on the purpose of Market Garden. The weight of evidence presented supported Ike’s story. Historically I would have given Monty the benefit of the doubt based on tribalism.
he's also had time to think and go over his argument before filming, I feel that shouldn't be lost. I agree though when people come up with nonsense what point does it make to be angry or loud, the enemy won then over nonsense.
He does let his ego slip through sometimes though, especially when it comes to politics and economics. For example, he let his bias against leftism get the better of him in his “Marx’s Antisemitism” video to where he mischaracterized Marx’s views several times in a seeming effort to “prove” Marxists and socialists are antisemitic by nature. It was a very unscientific approach where he had a conclusion: “socialists are antisemitic,” and sought evidence to prove it, rather than the other way around. This caused him to make extrapolations and connections where there were none. For example, he made the very careless error of mistaking Marx’s definition of “a capitalist,” meaning someone who owned capital and the means of production, with the more colloquial definition of capitalist as someone who supported the institution of capitalism. This caused him to misunderstand Marx saying that “A man is a leader of industry because he is a capitalist” to mean “only Jews are leaders of industry” rather than the real and more logical meaning of “those who have the money and means of production are leaders of industry.” That video is full of little and bigger errors like that, like misunderstanding the use of terms like “Pharisee” and “philistine,” to totally missing the meaning of dialectics. Let’s not even get into TIK’s very... niche take that corporations somehow aren’t capitalist. Is any of this to say that Marx himself didn’t hold antisemitic views or that racism didn’t color some of his views? No. But to paint every single thing he wrote as inherently full of antisemitic dog whistles, and by extension, all socialists as secretly antisemitic (despite the fact that TIK himself has said that Marx didn’t invent socialism) is incredibly misguided at best, and downright dishonest at worst. Not to mention that it ignores the decades of leftist/socialists theory pioneered by Jews and anti-racists that are explicitly intersectional and anti-racist.

Their channel name is irony at it's fullest. Not even watching the videos they are trying to "own", and just using ad-hominem and insults rather than actual logic. "Tilk" (while speaking perfect English and spelling TIK's channel name perfectly on the video title) and "This video (5 hours long), you're only going to have to watch 15 minutes of it to know the rest of the video is just trash" along with the channel name just clearly speaks how their attitude is. I wonder who the real "dishonest shills" are...

The sad but funny thing is, the guys who made the initial "response" video, *if* they see this, will only watch the first 2-5 minutes of this video and immediately proceed to make another video claiming they have defeated TIK in debate.
The sad but funny thing is that TIK thinks that this debunks the "Hitler wasn't a Socialist" view. The fact that Hitler included SOME socialist policy does not make him even remotely socialist. If it did, that would make both Tony Blair and David Cameron screaming socialists. But this is what happens when you have people on both sides of the table shouting about things that they don't understand. Now, I've got no problem with TIK's historic analysis, but his analysis of Hitler's economics and political positions leave a lot to be desired. Apart from anything else, any Briton or American claiming to understand socialism requires a suspension of disbelief that I'm trying hard to muster. Apart from anything, the idea that any self-proclaimed socialist would make unionisation a capital offence doesn't bare scrutiny.

Really shows how much effort y'all are putting into "finding out the truth". Post-truth politics is hilarious lol
Absolutely. So you notice how socialists try to hide where their ideology leads by denying that evil regimes was socialism. The NAZIs are just one example. Those who honestly admit the atrocities of socialism simply deny that the regimes involved were socialist. The argument is that Stalinism was a perversion of socialism. The problem is that this is the way all socialist regimes behaved with varying degrees of brutality. I have had many internet discussions, and I always ask, name one successful socialist regime. Or one socialist regime that did not use extreme violence. And they never take me up on the challenge. Some suggest European democratic socialism. But these are not socialist regimes. These countries do not ban private property. They allow free trade unions and have core capitalist economies.
@@tomazlah8238 Just like it was Lenin, Stalin, Castro, Chavez, Maduro, Mao, the Kims, Pol Pot, etc to blame on the failure!?! Absolute nonsense. It was the system that did not work. And the system that created those monisters. did not work. There have been about 25 socialist regimes. And not one of them worked. I challenge you to name one single prosperous socialist economy. JUST ONE. They could create military power. They could not create a productive, prosperous economy. How many failures does it take to convince you that socialism does not work? The only prosperous economies are capitalist economies.
The simple fact is that without worker owned control of the means of production, an economy is simply not socialist. Hitler privatized the single largest publically owned corporation on the entire fucking planet. Privatization is the literal opposite of Socialism. Hitler privatized utilities, the railway network, steelworks, mining industries, maritime trade industries, military production, banks, etc. But it doesn't matter. People who say that Nazis are Socialist are inherently dishonest. You can't argue the Nazis were socialist if you look at their economic model. People who claim the Nazis are socialist only do so to smear socialism. I'm not even a socialist but its the dumbest shit I've ever heard, and people who claim that are far too gone down the rabbit hole.
@@CarrotConsumer I think you are absolutely correct. With one exception. Marx may have talked about worker control of the means of production. But when the Socialists actually take control, they suppress free trade unions. It is only in Capitalist countries that you have free trade unions. In Socialist countries, the state/party seizes control of the unions.
If you name yourself something absurd like "Owning Dishonest Shills", there's a very good chance that you are a dishonest shill. Considering I've read some of his comments in your past videos, I have to say that his insults and childish behavior most certainly proves that.

The definitions you have listed of nations and societies, would very obviously make them synonyms. The meaning may not have the same wording but evidently overlap in meaning.
One thing I noticed is how much a socialist generalizes their ideology in terms of context. They like to say that the workers have to control the means of production but they never explain what that even means. Do they expect people to jjst think "ah, so if I get hired at Mcdonalds I should immediately have some control over how the food is cooked, where it comes from, and I should make the profit from cooking the food and selling it?" They leave all of this up to purely interpretation and that's why it's so hard to understand what their positions actually are.
Simple answer yes. You can say that the Nazis were not socialist because there has never been a true socialist country on earth. I don't think that's what they're arguing.

When anyone resorts to demeaning you for "playing semantic games" that is a red flag. Semantics IS reality, or at least a facet of it; words and language (semantics) is how constitute the real world in our communications and thus is important in every debate since you ought to define your terms from the outset. Love your videos TIK!
You mean we should be upset when definitions are changed based on political whims? Like when anti-vaxxer went from 'being against anti any forms of vaccination' to 'being against all vaccinations and vaccine mandates.'
Semantics describes reality. TICS' issue is selectively hyperfocussing on antiquated semantics. If we want to play TICS' game, we could say there's no such thing as an anti-semite because European Jews are not semitic (an argument that plenty of idiots try to make). It's a complete red herring, it's focusing on the definition of semite rather than the practical reality of existing prejudice. This is exactly what TIC does with definitions.
Yet it is the loony left that always resort to cant and sophistry. It is the Frankfurt school of Marxist Thought which expostulates specious reasoning. The historical distortions of the 1619 Project (New York Times) coupled with the culamny of Critical Race Theory (C.R.T. ) is the false narrative most relied upon by neo-Marxist revisionists. The neo-Marxists do not want to engage in debate, their aim is to deny, disrupt, and replace sound reasoning with failed socialist ideology, a mockingbird method of ejection and replacement.

The amount of people in the comments here who are still trying to say that Hitler wasn't a Socialist is unreal. They didn't even watch this video, let alone the other one! I don't get it... I can't get through to them because they have an attention span that's lower than zero.
TIK said in this response video, that modern societies do not have private property because there exists a property tax. He also said that all public corporations including those with no state participation are part of the public sector on the merit of having their shares traded on a stock exchange. By this definition every western world country nowadays is socialist. So, why watch a 5 hour long "Hitler is a socialist" video when you can sum it up in two sentences?
@@nurmikoil1103 You even summed it up in four words, doesn't mean that did the job explaining _Why_ we've come to the conclusion or why we didn't come to the contrary. The explanation is needed to cement a proper argument.
@@sulli1189 My point is, then it's not a discussion about a period in history. Then, it's a discussion about what socialism is and is not. If you believe that socialism means having companies trade shares on a stock exchanges, and home owners pay property taxes, - good for you. I personally don't care, but I'm sure there is a place for such kind of debate in social sciences somewhere. But it sure doesn't have anything to do with Hitler and nazi Germany.
@@nurmikoil1103 I don't appreciate being patronized by someone who asked me for answers. You have to understand, These videos and this channel is in fact the Social Science debate and it does involve historical references being why Hitler's Germany is required for the discussion. TIK's channel is by definition a form of Social Studies. TIK doesn't pull his vocabulary and information out of his butt, he leaves foot notes in Chicago style in the video essays, That is why the one we are discussing is 5 hours long, he had to speak the entire essay, it is an essay for education otherwise known as a lecture. Do you see what your misunderstanding or do you need to rephrase your question?
Love how they blatantly admit to not watching the video, and then provide "arguments" that were already addressed in the video. Other than that, they just call you, "stupid," laugh, and provide no argument again
You are amazingly patient with a guy who cannot even pronounce "tik". great respect for that. Please keep up your great work, the world needs more people like you.
You have always researched your material well, and I've never seen you miss a fact or point. I agree, wikipedia is a quick reference guide, but it's not a valid source, and you need to compare sources to make sure you are reading an event correctly.
I do some editing for Wikipedia. For science and technology, it is generally reliable. For history and social science, not so much. One quick and dirty way to determine the reliability of a Wikipedia article is to go the 'Talk' page associated with each article. If the 'Talk' page is rational and adult, the article is probably reliable. If the 'Talk' page is contentious or even childish, the article is doubtful. The Left understands that Wikipedia has become the 'go-to source' for naive students and has organized efforts to control the tone and content of certain types of articles. I suspect (but can not prove) that some of our intelligentsia are compensated in some fashion for their Wikipedia efforts by left-wing money and power.
@@dariuszrutkowski420 thats what people like them generaly rely on , the uneducated masses who will believe everything they say even when shown actual facts and proof
They aren't responding to your points because your goals and their goals aren't the same. You are interested in what's true. They are interested in controlling what people believe is true.
no tik isnt interested in truth - hes a hypoocrite and youre brainwashed - hes biased and trying to brainwash you in which hes done a successful job - easily done by non thinkers which is ironically his claim about the left
As a hobbyist historian I completely agree with your conclusions. Some people have an agenda, doesn't make any difference how you can try and engage, they will always disagree. Please keep up the good work
@mike mcmike saying someone is dumb when you have a argument is just wasting space, it adds nothing, only make tbe argument weeker because its now second tear to "you are dumb"... proving you didnt have a point regardless of if you did or note... Hence it should be saved untill you no longet have any valid arguments
@@numalesoybea1348 patience at this level is a truly commendable skill, especially in this day and age and it’s worth acknowledging that. It’s clear that you can’t handle that in a mature manner and have to drag them down.
As I watch this, I am feeling the frustrations I felt when I taught a class of badly behaved, undisciplined, blockheaded kindergarteners. And, I have to say, that listening to the one speaker of the two with the heavy cockney (?) accent, is really painful, not for his accent, but for his ignorance.
It is cringe. Then again it's also cringe when TIK puts on mocking accents when reading certain passages, thankfully he rarely does that and the detailed analysis he provides more than makes up for it.
First, thank you for doing all of this work. I've run across similar work from Dr. Thomas Sowell and Dinesh D'Souza, and I honestly feel we've gotten to a point where more voices are finally standing up to set this record straight. That's a good thing, lies can't dominate forever. I grew up in the Los Angeles, CA area and like so many, was raised believing that Hitler was a far-right political figure, with little explanation for why this was. The message was just blasted from multiple places, so it's just accepted, and for a while I never questioned it. Funny enough, it was a documentary class with a very left leaning class and teacher where I first started to question this idea, all on my own. In this one documentary I was required to watch, I watched multiple speeches by Hitler, and for the first time actually paid attention to what the man was talking about and it left me wondering how the man could be conservative? He sounded more like Bernie Sanders than anything else. As I looked more and more into it, it became clear, I was lied to in my K-12 education. Hitler was a figure from the Left, NOT the Right. Here's the problem as I see this right now, we live in a time when a lot of people make arguments without the ability to critically think and they are feed a lot of lies and mistruths. As such, when they try to defend their position, they often launch into personal insults instead of using the ability to debate academically. I've come to believe this ability has been lost on most people, and it's sad. Too many see saying "F-you" as legitimate debate strategy. We live in a time where clear evidence is pushed aside if it gets in the way of "the message." These people in this video are just part of that. Just know that there are people like me out there who appreciate what you are doing. Keep going! PS: Ever thought about a channel on Rumble? Can't see UA-cam liking content like this, and I'd hate to see it disappear.
Exactly, you just simply have to listen to a few of his speaches to know his political orientation, yet everybody seams to have an opinion without ever listing to a single one of them
@@freddygarfunkle8947 He killed people for getting in the way of his political vision of the world, and yes, that meant people across the political spectrum. But he himself was Leftwing. Did you actually read my comment? Did you actually watch this video? Facts are facts. Merry Christmas.
You should do more of these! There’s so many dishonest channels out there pushing economic fallacies, an example would be a channel known as ‘Unlearning Economics’.
@@BigHenFor ‘Unlearning Economics’ attempts to argue that ‘Rent Control’ doesn’t cause housing shortages, or a decline in the standard of housing. He also argues that minimum wage doesn’t cause unemployment. It’s illogical, and the ‘data’ he uses to back up his argument overlooks many important aspects. I’d recommend reading ‘Basic Economics’ by Thomas Sowell and his chapter on Minimum wage and other forms of price controls and their affects. He dives deep into why the denialists ‘evidence’ is flawed.
@@BigHenFor I don't watch that channel, but the idea of "Unlearning economics" is a fallacy in itself. It's as absurd as saying you can unlearn Physics.
@@plebius As per usual, you fail to understand basic economics. If you find an equation which somehow proves that 2+2=5, it is wrong, regardless of what ‘evidence’ you use. It goes against basic logic. A common problem with research on the employment effects of minimum wage laws is that surveys of employers before and after a minimum wage increase can survey only those particular businesses which survived in both periods. Another way of looking at this is that you could survey people who have played Russian roulette and ‘prove’ from their experience that it is a harmless activity since those whom it was not harmless are unlikely to be surveyed (because they’re dead). Thus you would have refuted the ‘myth’ that Russian roulette is dangerous.
@@plebius I’m not, many economists know that you are wrong. Thomas Sowell goes into detail in his book ‘Basic Economics’ about how minimum wage causes unemployment and employs mountains of data which contradicts your ‘evidence’. You are the one denying scientific research.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! After thinking about it, I realized that this video was important in several different ways, which is why I decided to release it on a Monday. It provides various different lessons to both supporters and critics of the channel, and is entertaining in it's own right. I've got a feeling that this may be the end of the matter (based on ODS's responses so far, it seems that he hasn't learnt his lesson), but I'm somewhat hopeful that the guy may realize and admit his mistake, or provide a solid counter-argument. If not, I may just leave him be.
@@TheImperatorKnight I wouldn't put money on them changing their minds. Despite their declarations, I think it's pretty clear they do have a dog in this fight. The benefit of videos such as this one, is that you'll make them looks stupid. They will double-down and make themselves look even more stupid. It's all about playing to the audience. Nobody wants to look as foolish as they do and everybody wants to be on the winning team. I suspect you have won over a lot of people. I really hope there are more videos like this, but with one small difference. You need to constantly remind everybody that they are defending the reputation of the guys who murdered 100 million people, from the guy who murdered 11 million people.
What you do is amazing and very few could do it at all let alone with it being done with quality. I realize this is a few years ago but I haven’t started your videos until recently. Keep up the amazing work and do whatever topics peak your interests at the time. You’re truly amazing at this.
"This man made a 5 hour video with tons of reliable sources, I will debunk him by citing some random 1 minute video I watched on youtube" keep up the great work!
A man who makes a coherent case using definitions that are explained in some depth And consistently applied versus critics who are utterly incoherent in the definitions of the words they use although sometimes they fall back on the mystical utopian idealistic fantasy definition of communism. Hmm? And intellectually independent minded thinkers are supposed to side with the incoherent critics of TIK? Not happening, but the npc minions might take that offer.
@@paulrevere2379 Your point is true... only if you admit that is is TIK who is utterly incoherent in his definition of words, and TIK who relies on a mystical nonsense definition of the ideologies he disagrees with. The intellectually independent minded thinkers already sided with the truth. You, evidently, have not.
@@Gvjrapiro Oh look... It's the rabid commenter who thinks that after days of getting pestered for sources, name-dropping a few people is sufficient to rest his case and turn to insults. How about, for once in your entire life, you actually type out the exact details, lines of reasoning and the evidence you supposedly have of why you think TIK's video is wrong? Haven't seen you do that, and I've jogged through multiple comment sections so far. To make it blatantly clear of what I want you to do - Take a couple sources that TIK cites, show TIK's claims (preferably highlighted with a timestamp) and demonstrate how the two contradict each other. Then, if you want to be an extra good cookie, demonstrate that the person who disagrees with TIK doesn't have a potential conflict of interest in the matter when claiming that national socialism is not any form of socialism.
Poor TIK omg. TIK as a loyal viewer who has watched you for ages, please do not give up on making amazing videos for your viewers who want the truth. Personally, I am very grateful and appreciative of your content. Don't listen to these clowns who make pointless arguments and dialogue for the sake of it, without any evidence whatsoever.
We live in a world where it's now so common that when someone disagrees with you it's their automatic assumption to accuse you of being dishonest. It's a really sad indictment of where we are as a species. TIK I think your videos are incredibly well researched/put together and entertaining, which isn't easy to do at the same time. Keep up all the great work.
That's why I find it interesting to do a thought experiment with people who disagree with me. I assume their correct and then figure out what the world would have to be like. Sometimes it points to them being dishonest sometimes it points to them just having different starting assumptions.
@@SwingDancer61 That's the way I approach it too. I don't think these guys are being dishonest - I used to believe what they believed too, and that was because I was ignorant, just as they are now. So they're not dishonest, they just haven't seen the evidence.
Yeah your right, this man is world class. He is a giant among men on this subject. TIK is basically on the front lines of the understanding of this and he is offering it all up in a nice little package with a bow on top. All done in layman's terms so we can all clearly understand. I almost feel sorry for these guys trying to debunk him. It's like a midget fighting a heavy weight boxer because he will cite you to death and you will have no rebuttal. There rebuttal's are pathetic. These people might think he's doing it for some sort of political payoff and it's just his opinion twisting his videos. Probably because these types of people do that themselves 😂 Listening to TIK he seem's like the type of person I am too a no nonsense let's chuck our misconceptions behind and go on a dam mission to find the truth no matter if it's popular or not. That's what a true historian is.
If he's such a great HISTORIAN!!!1One1!), why doesn't he write a scientific article about his breathtaking discoveries, publish it in a journal and have it reviewed by his peer historians? In fact, @TIK why don't you? And please try to answer without conspiracy theories.
Not supporting the guy, but I do like wikipedia, its saved my ass alot of times and is good for random trivial knowledge you need in a pinch I use it for oddball calibers, and honestly they probably have the most extensive firearm information collection on the web, not always the most extensive on the knowledge, but it's there Also good for music history History, especially opinionated is not its strong suit
@@DManCAWMaster back when it was new we could cheat on the stupid books they would make us read, like great Gatsby or death if a salesman Wiki use to sum the chapters in perfect 2 or 3 paragraphs, you write it down and change all the sentences into your own words Those books were unbearable for the most part
I think the problem is they can’t even give you a decent counter argument back with evidence just diss everything it shows to me basic level of intelligence the fact they say haven’t watched videos. I’ve always find your videos informative and well researched
Most who think they've debunked, actually don't debunk, they attack the ideas and knowledge presented while showing little to none that they actually know, to counter. It's like a child saying "because" as a reason why...
These kind of people... do not give them attention they are constantly in a state of mental cohesion and literally anything you say will not change their minds ever... and they think it would they actively try to avoid your points. DO NOT TALK TO THESE PEOPLE. i used to have a few "friends" like this that launched a full on smear campaign on me because i made them aware that i may well have something wrong with me and i wasnt doing well, they then instantly took the opportunity to paint me as a "liar" when i didnt even say it was conclusive i was making them aware and then painted me as anything else damaging they could aka Homophobe, racist, Nazi?, paedophile??? And this resulted in about 5 good friends turning their backs on me because they would just leave the groups i joined trying to defend myself so they could siphon more bullshit to them. This is all funny since ive had multiple gay friends and one of my best friends is gay and one of old friends is Portuguese and we have been friends since almost the very start of highschool and even funnier is he guy that accused me of paedophilia literally had been trying to go out with people not turned 16 yet multiple times! and my only relationship was with someone OLDER than me! Do not give them the satisfaction of attention
Speaking only for myself: I found that rebuttal, which seemed to me to amount to something along the lines of "He's either ignorant or dishonest, because I say so, long videos and detail, all junk because wrong definitions, (name-calling), National Socialists were really bad so not socialists, (name-calling)", somewhat less than convincing.
"You watch the synopsis at the first 15 minutes and then when he starts arguing his point stop listening, there's nothing there that helps prove his point I promise." - A guy who's definitely not a liar.
16:55 Did that guy just used Wikipedia as a credible reference source for his argument? Even foundation students at university knows to avoid this at all costs.
What's annoying is that the Wikipedia page on the Third Reich economy doesn't even mention the word or concept of "Gleichschaltung". But a separate Wikipedia page exists for it though, so someone clearly knows it exists. This is an indication that the narrative is being controlled by the user base on Wikipedia.
Lol, I got into an arguement at a job interview/training session with a fellow trainee who had recently completed her degree, over internet sources. I asked if any of the sources she was quoting were peer reviewed. She asked "What does that mean?" Omfg.
2:59 I think the elimination of the trade unions was more about the Nazis not liking organizations they could not control. But you are right, they created their own trade union (that they had complete control over) and crushed all the others.
@@TheImperatorKnight The ultimate question is: how many strikes were there after the nationalisation of the unions? How many were NOT put down violently, with the instigators sent to "re-education" camps? After all, anyone who knows ANYTHING about trade unions is that they just LOVE a good strike! (Sorry if you already covered this; I'm old 😅)
@@auzor5900 Exactly my point (which I guess I made poorly?) Once the state is in control of the means of production, interference with that, say, by striking, is definitionally, an act of treason... So how many strikes were there? That tells you whether the trade unions *actually* existed or existed only in name... Like North Korea is a "democratic" nation... It's just that there's only ever one candidate...
I have more subscribers, and I don't even try! But seriously: the number of subscribers doesn't matter: it's the quality of what is said. This isn't me defending them, btw: TIK's got the better of the two.
@@TheImperatorKnight *TIK* , I posted this comment but it wasn't adresssed to anybody. I'll repost it to you, because I think it might help you. Hope you do a quick read: >> *TIK* : I congratulate your efforts and solid research. I think what BOTH sides miss. is when both Socialism and Capitalism get CORRUPTED, that's why for both sides is so difficult to explain. There is something called CRONY CAPITALISM, which happens when the BIG private owners of the "means of production" are cronies of the State. Sometimes these big magnates "buy" the politicians and govts. Sometimes it is the State who "buys" them or coopts them with money, or else... And that's what happened with Adolf's Germany. Its a CORRUPTED brand of Capitalism. A brand of Crony Capitalism.... Mom and Pop shops existed, and also BIG corporations, as long as they supported Adolf. And yes, that's how Capitalism can be Totalitarian, like Germany was. When it gets corrrupted... And that's why Capitalism not always means "freedom" for the individual, or anybody. When the BIG private corporations and the State are cronies. In contrast, in the Communist (and Totalitarian) Soviet Union, there were NO "Mom and Pop" shops at all. No small workshops. No BIG Corporations and no magnates to "buy" or coopt. ALL private property was banned. Everything was owned by the State. And it also managed to get very corrupted, but that has nothing to do with Adolf. It was Communism, an extreme brand of Socialism. No private property at all. And also no individual freedom as we know it. Simple. PS . Extremes touch themselves. Corruption can lead to totalitarianism, from the right wing or the left.

AMEN AMEN AMEN. PLEASE UPVOTE THIS GUY. And also, can you post a definition link in your comment? Because there are some like me who think, that the only serious epidemy raging right now throughout the civilized world is a pandemy of Dunning-Kruger, seeded by populist politicians.
Actually yes, as someone with an academic background I cringe at the way they try to present their points. Also calling someone "retarded" or going full retard does not help your credibility. It not only disrepects those who have to live with disabilities and adds toxicity but it also pulls the whole discussion down to a highschool yard level.
You can lead an idiot to water but you can't make him drink. Even when he's clearly dying of thirst. They remind me of the Black Knight in Monty Python too.
TIK's video about Hitler's socialism is the best video on youtube. The level of research, study and knowledge, the amazing presentation in different colors from each ideology is just amazing. I can't imagine how much time must've taken to make that video. The problem is that today's young people have a very short attention span, they just watch 2 minutes of something or read two paragraphs and think they know everything about that subject.
Yes, that's definitely it... it's those damned young people. Nothing like our generation. Completely different. The 200 or so generations since civilization sprung up saying the same? Ignore those, they were wrong, our generation is great. Us saying it about the 201st generation? Now we're talking real shit. Those damned youngsters being stupid (unlike us), and ruining the world (unlike us, we did and are still doing great as a generation). Damned young people and them being so completely different to the previous thousands of generations of Homo Sapiens... there has never been such a difference between generations as there is today. I mean, clearly if you look at the data, you can easily pinpoint the moment my wife decided to leave me.
@Jakub the difference this time is the fact no generation prior has had access to the internet. It's not "the young" that's the issue, it's the fact that our brains weren't designed to deal with something like this before. It's destroyed people's attention spans.
@@TheImperatorKnight I don't know man, I disagree. The same was said about books and movies before. Until we have enough concrete data I just can't hold that position. You put out tons of long videos that can be quite dry, and I still bet a lot of young people watch them all the way through. We're still the same... The internet doesn't make it worse, just more obvious.
@@jakubhejna6301 The thing is that most people that disagree with Tik and dismiss him, didn't even bother to watch his videos and listen to the arguments they are dismissing. That's what is bothering Tik, and rightfully so. If you watched the video and disagree with it, that's perfectly fine, everyone can have their own opinion. But it's not fine when you're just slandering a person without even listening to its arguments, without even watching the video.
That’s so true. I met a few American Gen Z and they couldn’t even put an argument what socialism and capitalism is from economical aspects. And his answer was “I read Marx”. Well, reading Marx doesn’t give you knowledge on economy. Not to mention that he never talked about economy to begin with, but rather philosophy of economics. I never have seen in Marx work if he ever mentioned how it all is supposed to work.

23:16. It even says this in the BBC Series "The World At War", that German industrialists were encouraged to eat the same food alongside their workers. If this is not egalitarianism, I don't know what is. Oh, and the whole concept that everyone "belonged", as long as you were considered German or Aryan and kowtowed to the Nazis. Sounds like a socialist/communist state to me.
"German industrialists were encouraged to eat the same food alongside their workers. If this is not egalitarianism, I don't know what is." That sounds like a gesture intended to present the image of egalitarianism. I.E a PR stunt.. At the end of the day those workers went to their little homes and ate their rations whilst the industrial elite went home to their mansions and had servants cook them 5-star meals. No one could consider that to be egalitarianism. There was undeniable wealth inequality and an inequality of prestige and political power. "Oh, and the whole concept that everyone "belonged", as long as you were considered German or Aryan and kowtowed to the Nazis. Sounds like a socialist/communist state to me." Liberalism has the same dynamic. In Liberalism everyone "belongs" as long as they act within the confines of the law and don't threaten the liberal order, I.E as long as they are "good citizens". The difference is Nazism and Marxism have a more limited vision of what it means to be a "good citizen" whereby many more are excluded or eradicated than is the case in Liberalism. You are right to put "belonging" in quotes because it is a hollow concept under any system that has to use force to create homogenuity.
A window dressing of egalitarianism is not the same as socialism, not even remotely. The British Royal Family took great pains to look like they were undergoing the same hardships as East End dock workers, that doesn't mean the class distinction between them was abolished.
@@MarcoBonechi And because these corporations usually end up acting like a socialist government (centralized control over decision making), they end up having the same problems that afflicted the communist states, i.e. inability to react quickly to changing conditions and entrenched bureaucracy. One need only look at the IBM PC fiasco or the implosion of Atari to see this.

@@revanofkorriban1505 Actually you just proved the Anti-Tik bunch is guilty of it. People who suffer from Dunning Kruger Effect are confident in their answer. Those who don't aren't so sure about their answer until they know more. At the very least, you just proved you are guilty of it yourself.
The work that you did with these 2 videos is amazing. I cannot imagine the amount of hours and research put so thank you. Also I have a small “curiosity”. I am new to your channel, so am I curious if you lost a lot of subscribers and in what proportion :)
I initially lost a few hundred subscribers as a result of my stance on Hitler's Socialism. It's hard to judge because UA-cam only lists the cumulative total of subscribes and unsubscribes, not the individual amounts. So I lost 150 or so, but it could have been more like 200. I could also be losing a small amount of subscribers each day as a result of this, but the number of subscriptions outweighs the number of unsubscribes. There's only been a few days in the history of my channel where I've lost subscribers, and most of those have been when UA-cam deleted spam accounts. Interestingly, I lost more to UA-cam deleting spam accounts than I did for my stance on Hitler's Socialism. I did lose a lot of Patreons as a result of the first National Socialism is Socialism video in 2018. Many messaged me instantly to tell me how I had "betrayed" them, and how I should be ashamed of myself for spouting "blatant lies". I had only just gone full time, and the hate I received and the loss of this Patreon base made me worry that I was going to have to go back to working in retail. I then got angry, and this is what drove me to quietly do my homework behind the scenes and create the 5 hour Hitler's Socialism video. I wanted to show that I hadn't just come to this view based on lies or propaganda, but on hard evidence and solid interpretation, and that the people who were ignoring me or slandering me were wrong or ideologues themselves. I think I've achieved my aim with that regard.
Im very slightly left wing and a reformed socialist, i found your pro capitalist arguments very persuasive fresh and interesting, its very hard to find pro capitalist arguemnts now, you definatly changed my mind on a few things and anyone who can change a stuborn mind like mine is worth listening to, also i think its healthy to listen to people you dont agree with as they are the people you can learn the most from, as long as they are smart and well researched of course !
@@dennisweidner288 yes i agree with that, its one of many reasons i changed my views, the main one being milions of dead people, but a nice side bonus of capitalism is efficiency and profit !
>TIK goes on about how most of his critics don't watch his videos >commentator pauses the video and uses an unbacked comment to say "yeah he's full of shit, see?" Pure poetry Keep doing what you're doing, TIK. I used to think Hitler was a capitalist but you have proved me wrong, thank you.
Add me to the list too. I thought Fasicm to be the direct opposite to communism, left vs right. It also gave me another look at the Dutch populist parties. In the pre TIK days I found it hard to rime their political left, very socialist agenda with their rhetoric on undesirables. Not anymore, it makes much more sense then to continue thinking they are right wing. History again teaching about current events. Stay awesome TIK. 👌👍 There is one point I heard I do agree with btw: you need to do more tank videos. 😉🙃
You've got to give up on these people. They're poison. They're not after the truth my friend. You do great work. Keep it up. Those that seek the facts will find you.
Couple of points. Please don’t go to ODS’s channel to mass-downvote his videos or anything like that. Don’t call him names etc. I want to persuade him (and others) to take this more seriously, not turn them hostile.
And I know this isn’t my usual video format, and I wasn’t going to release it on a Monday… but then I thought, no, this deserves to be a Monday video. I actually think there’s something for everyone here. My haters will love it because I get “owned”. My supporters will love it because… (no spoilers). And that final 10 minutes is one of my favourite pieces of video I think I’ve ever made! You may not think so, but I certainly do!
Regardless, I hope you enjoy the video. Let me know what you learned. I may actually upload the final 10 minutes as a separate video later this week, because I think it’s brilliant. Seriously, how close can you be to seeing the light!?
Cheers!

This guy is all over the place, lol. Also, I am not sure where he saw Hitler talking favourably about Capitalism. I am no expert but I have read a certain amount of history and every Nazi quote I’ve ever seen has talked negatively about Capitalism.
yeah BUT THEY LIED which means the opposite is true, = capitalist. right? = LoL
Every actual nazi (or NatSoc as they prefer) you might run into today is rabidly anticapitalist. The name isn't a misnomer.
Hitler didn't view capitalism favorably. He claimed that he was a socialist, but Marxists and Bolsheviks had stolen the term and confused its meaning.
Essentially, Nazism is socialism with national and racial identity.
"We will achieve the goals that Marxism, Leninism, and Stalinism failed to achieve".
@Tim B Read the interview with Hitler in the "American Monthly" in 1923. He considered himself a "socialist".
@Tim B I have read and listened to many of Hitler's speeches, not sure what watching them will do. I think people get confused because Hitler was not a stable man. However, for anyone to suggest that he did not hate capitalism and the global economy is just insincere, in fact it was one of the main reasons behind his anti-semitism. It's there in his speeches and his writings.
In other words "Hitler cant be a socialist because I'm a socialist and Hitler was bad"....
Yes, that's exactly how I saw it too when I was plugged in. You automatically assume that Hitler can't be like you, because Socialism is so wonderful... if only we can make them see that it's not as wonderful as people imagine when they buy into the ideology

@@nenmaster5218 If you want to do your views justice you might want to consider writing them in a way that doesn't make the readers brain hurt. Also you might want to present an argument other than "this guy doesn't agree with me therefore he is wrong."
Regardless of whether or not you agree with TIK, you cannot reasonably claim that he does not contend with the counter arguments. The idea that he is never able to be convinced of anything is objectively false, as I have seen him change his mind on multiple issues. Therefore the claim that "he will never be convinced by anything" is objectively disprovable and demonstrates that your perception does not align with reality.
Then again, when defending your religious beliefs I understand that reality comes secondary to orthodoxy, especially when it comes to demonizing outsiders. Consider deconverting.
Also it's really easy to be a socialist when you don't know what Socialism is.

yeah because he wasn't a socialist at all, not that hard
funny, when one actually examines his own words and terminology, they come to that conclusion, any other conclusion is just impossible
That's why, after all, the actual "verbatim quotes" can be examined within context and found to contain nothing like what you're asserting. The actual quotes where hitler says what he wants that reflects what he tried to do, prove he wasn't a socialist. The problem is, you'll take any assertion of propaganda or any term ripped from definition and context, and claim it "clearly" proves socialism... which you've had to lie about and redefine to even get to that conclusion. Hardly clear.
the fact that you're very willing to exclusively take him on his word is worrying

All you people saying he’s so calm listening to them talk bs, that’s how you’re supposed to be when looking back at history. This is why TIK is one of my favorite historians, you separate your life expectations/experience/ego from the situation and research the topic.
Spot on. I will admit that it's hard sometimes, and tiring, but you've got to think as objectively as humanly possible.
Actually TIK is seething. These guys died a painful and horrible death yesterday evening.
A good example of this was seen in the Eisenhower vs Montgomery video on the purpose of Market Garden. The weight of evidence presented supported Ike’s story. Historically I would have given Monty the benefit of the doubt based on tribalism.
he's also had time to think and go over his argument before filming, I feel that shouldn't be lost. I agree though when people come up with nonsense what point does it make to be angry or loud, the enemy won then over nonsense.
He does let his ego slip through sometimes though, especially when it comes to politics and economics. For example, he let his bias against leftism get the better of him in his “Marx’s Antisemitism” video to where he mischaracterized Marx’s views several times in a seeming effort to “prove” Marxists and socialists are antisemitic by nature. It was a very unscientific approach where he had a conclusion: “socialists are antisemitic,” and sought evidence to prove it, rather than the other way around. This caused him to make extrapolations and connections where there were none. For example, he made the very careless error of mistaking Marx’s definition of “a capitalist,” meaning someone who owned capital and the means of production, with the more colloquial definition of capitalist as someone who supported the institution of capitalism. This caused him to misunderstand Marx saying that “A man is a leader of industry because he is a capitalist” to mean “only Jews are leaders of industry” rather than the real and more logical meaning of “those who have the money and means of production are leaders of industry.” That video is full of little and bigger errors like that, like misunderstanding the use of terms like “Pharisee” and “philistine,” to totally missing the meaning of dialectics. Let’s not even get into TIK’s very... niche take that corporations somehow aren’t capitalist.
Is any of this to say that Marx himself didn’t hold antisemitic views or that racism didn’t color some of his views? No. But to paint every single thing he wrote as inherently full of antisemitic dog whistles, and by extension, all socialists as secretly antisemitic (despite the fact that TIK himself has said that Marx didn’t invent socialism) is incredibly misguided at best, and downright dishonest at worst. Not to mention that it ignores the decades of leftist/socialists theory pioneered by Jews and anti-racists that are explicitly intersectional and anti-racist.

Those who honestly admit the atrocities of socialism simply deny that the regimes involved were socialist. The argument is that Stalinism was a perversion of socialism. The problem is that this is the way all socialist regimes behaved with varying degrees of brutality. I have had many internet discussions, and I always ask, name one successful socialist regime. Or one socialist regime that did not use extreme violence. And they never take me up on the challenge. Some suggest European democratic socialism. But these are not socialist regimes. These countries do not ban private property. They allow free trade unions and have core capitalist economies.

JUST ONE. They could create military power. They could not create a productive, prosperous economy. How many failures does it take to convince you that socialism does not work? The only prosperous economies are capitalist economies.
The simple fact is that without worker owned control of the means of production, an economy is simply not socialist. Hitler privatized the single largest publically owned corporation on the entire fucking planet. Privatization is the literal opposite of Socialism. Hitler privatized utilities, the railway network, steelworks, mining industries, maritime trade industries, military production, banks, etc.
But it doesn't matter. People who say that Nazis are Socialist are inherently dishonest. You can't argue the Nazis were socialist if you look at their economic model. People who claim the Nazis are socialist only do so to smear socialism.

No, these guys are professional political theorists.
Hitler didn't "ABOLISH" private property in the Reichstag Fire Decree: FALSE NARRATIVE. These are the decree words: "restrictions on property, are also permissible beyond the legal limits otherwise prescribed." RESTRICTIONS NOT ABOLISHMENT. Also, Nationalised doesn't mean Socialised. We can still see what you do there! By explaining how Nazis took charge of the industries but gave no worker's representation or power you prove that that's not Socialism but STATALISM. TIK ignored completely the Class ideology of Socialism mixing state/unions/workers/society when addressing the "egalitarian aim". TIK himself says Hitler's opposed (or more like ignored) the class struggle view of the world. That shows how Hitler himself voluntary ignored what Socialism was by ignoring the workers' emancipation point of Socialism: it undermined the logical base of its stupid ideological invention. Hitler is a liar but didn't lie just there only? Maybe BECAUSE YOU WANT TO BELIEVE SO! What if he was lying there too, manipulating the concept of Socialism just to appeal to the workers? It makes more sense than him being a liar just when you need him to be, while you ignore the definition of Socialism. But if you look at the definition of Socialism, supporting the "whole nation" is automatically anti-Socialist and just Statalist. BECAUSE YOU ARE IGNORING THE PART ABOUT WORKERS' RIGHTS TO REPRESENTATION AND PARTICIPATION TO THE DECISION MAKING PROCESS. The "GERMAN" OWNERSHIP OF THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION DOESN'T MEAN THE WORKERS' OWNERSHIP OF THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION (SOCIALISM) BECAUSE THAT OWNERSHIP WAS SHARED BETWEEN THE STATE, ANDTHE OWNERS (WHEN NOT REPLACED) WHILE THE NAZI WORKERS' UNIONS HAD NO LEGISLATIVE/DECISION MAKING POWER (LIKE THE SOVIETS HAD INITIALLY, FOR EXAMPLE). Here, I explained to you what you asked at 29:10. You can't support "the whole nation" and being Socialist, because you are not addressing the workers' power imbalance. You justify this just saying that in Nazi German the business owner were not completely in charge. True, the state was above the business owners but that doesn't mean that workers were granted more decision making power!! State DOES NOT MEAN WORKERS/LOWER CLASSES. "NATIONS ARE SOCIETIES" (30:08) NO, SIR. Nation: a large body of people united by common descent, history, culture, or language, inhabiting a particular country or territory. Society: A is a group of individuals involved in persistent social interaction, or a large social group sharing the same spatial or social territory, typically subject to the same political authority and dominant cultural expectations. YOU ARE SPREADING FALSE EQUIVALENCES. You HAVE THE DUTY TO WATCH WHAT YOU SAY BEFORE SPREADING YOUR UNEDUCATED OPINION ON THE INTERNET OR AT LEAST APOLOGISE/RETTIFY. For example, a long term foreigner living in a natiom is PART OF THE SOCIETY BUT NOT OF THAT NATION (he may have a different descent!!!!) Also, the dole was only for the citizens in Rome, not in the provinces. Ps: I'm not a Socialist or Marxist.
@@666mrdoctor Maybe get off Hitlers dick. Most of the points you make are arguing semantics, which you can't possibly think you ever be able to meaningful convince anyone either way (especially when you think just using capitals is some how improving you points) and are just straight wrong sometimes.for example. The definitions you have listed of nations and societies, would very obviously make them synonyms. The meaning may not have the same wording but evidently overlap in meaning.

@@napoleoniii8372I think by the end of the video, people would ask me why my forehead is all red.
One thing I noticed is how much a socialist generalizes their ideology in terms of context. They like to say that the workers have to control the means of production but they never explain what that even means.
Do they expect people to jjst think "ah, so if I get hired at Mcdonalds I should immediately have some control over how the food is cooked, where it comes from, and I should make the profit from cooking the food and selling it?"
They leave all of this up to purely interpretation and that's why it's so hard to understand what their positions actually are.
Simple answer yes. You can say that the Nazis were not socialist because there has never been a true socialist country on earth. I don't think that's what they're arguing.
TIK I respect how calm you are listening to these clowns
There's no point responding to their emotions. I wanted to make it clear that I only respond to their points, nothing more. Obviously, I wasn't 100% calm throughout the video, but the frustration isn't because of their insults - it was over their morally superior ignorance.

When anyone resorts to demeaning you for "playing semantic games" that is a red flag. Semantics IS reality, or at least a facet of it; words and language (semantics) is how constitute the real world in our communications and thus is important in every debate since you ought to define your terms from the outset. Love your videos TIK!
You mean we should be upset when definitions are changed based on political whims? Like when anti-vaxxer went from 'being against anti any forms of vaccination' to 'being against all vaccinations and vaccine mandates.'
Semantics describes reality. TICS' issue is selectively hyperfocussing on antiquated semantics. If we want to play TICS' game, we could say there's no such thing as an anti-semite because European Jews are not semitic (an argument that plenty of idiots try to make). It's a complete red herring, it's focusing on the definition of semite rather than the practical reality of existing prejudice. This is exactly what TIC does with definitions.
@@shahin738 There's a 5 hour video on his channel that will make you look like an idiot. I suggest you watch it.
Yet it is the loony left that always resort to cant and sophistry. It is the Frankfurt school of Marxist Thought which expostulates specious reasoning. The historical distortions of the 1619 Project (New York Times) coupled with the culamny of Critical Race Theory (C.R.T. ) is the false narrative most relied upon by neo-Marxist revisionists. The neo-Marxists do not want to engage in debate, their aim is to deny, disrupt, and replace sound reasoning with failed socialist ideology, a mockingbird method of ejection and replacement.

@@jaycorn9958 no no please, stay. i like puns.
at this point it's not an original statement, its just a copy and paste
You don't need to insult them, their arguments and argument style does that.
Hitler didn't "ABOLISH" private property in the Reichstag Fire Decree: FALSE NARRATIVE. These are the decree words: "restrictions on property, are also permissible beyond the legal limits otherwise prescribed." RESTRICTIONS NOT ABOLISHMENT. Also, Nationalised doesn't mean Socialised. We can still see what you do there! By explaining how Nazis took charge of the industries but gave no worker's representation or power you prove that that's not Socialism but STATALISM. TIK ignored completely the Class ideology of Socialism mixing state/unions/workers/society when addressing the "egalitarian aim". TIK himself says Hitler's opposed (or more like ignored) the class struggle view of the world. That shows how Hitler himself voluntary ignored what Socialism was by ignoring the workers' emancipation point of Socialism: it undermined the logical base of its stupid ideological invention. Hitler is a liar but didn't lie just there only? Maybe BECAUSE YOU WANT TO BELIEVE SO! What if he was lying there too, manipulating the concept of Socialism just to appeal to the workers? It makes more sense than him being a liar just when you need him to be, while you ignore the definition of Socialism. But if you look at the definition of Socialism, supporting the "whole nation" is automatically anti-Socialist and just Statalist. BECAUSE YOU ARE IGNORING THE PART ABOUT WORKERS' RIGHTS TO REPRESENTATION AND PARTICIPATION TO THE DECISION MAKING PROCESS. The "GERMAN" OWNERSHIP OF THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION DOESN'T MEAN THE WORKERS' OWNERSHIP OF THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION (SOCIALISM) BECAUSE THAT OWNERSHIP WAS SHARED BETWEEN THE STATE, ANDTHE OWNERS (WHEN NOT REPLACED) WHILE THE NAZI WORKERS' UNIONS HAD NO LEGISLATIVE/DECISION MAKING POWER (LIKE THE SOVIETS HAD INITIALLY, FOR EXAMPLE). Here, I explained to you what you asked at 29:10. You can't support "the whole nation" and being Socialist, because you are not addressing the workers' power imbalance. You justify this just saying that in Nazi German the business owner were not completely in charge.

The amount of people in the comments here who are still trying to say that Hitler wasn't a Socialist is unreal. They didn't even watch this video, let alone the other one!
I don't get it... I can't get through to them because they have an attention span that's lower than zero.
TIK said in this response video, that modern societies do not have private property because there exists a property tax. He also said that all public corporations including those with no state participation are part of the public sector on the merit of having their shares traded on a stock exchange. By this definition every western world country nowadays is socialist. So, why watch a 5 hour long "Hitler is a socialist" video when you can sum it up in two sentences?
@@nurmikoil1103 You even summed it up in four words, doesn't mean that did the job explaining _Why_ we've come to the conclusion or why we didn't come to the contrary. The explanation is needed to cement a proper argument.
@@sulli1189 My point is, then it's not a discussion about a period in history. Then, it's a discussion about what socialism is and is not. If you believe that socialism means having companies trade shares on a stock exchanges, and home owners pay property taxes, - good for you. I personally don't care, but I'm sure there is a place for such kind of debate in social sciences somewhere. But it sure doesn't have anything to do with Hitler and nazi Germany.
@@nurmikoil1103 I don't appreciate being patronized by someone who asked me for answers. You have to understand, These videos and this channel is in fact the Social Science debate and it does involve historical references being why Hitler's Germany is required for the discussion.

TIK doesn't pull his vocabulary and information out of his butt, he leaves foot notes in Chicago style in the video essays, That is why the one we are discussing is 5 hours long, he had to speak the entire essay, it is an essay for education otherwise known as a lecture.

You have always researched your material well, and I've never seen you miss a fact or point. I agree, wikipedia is a quick reference guide, but it's not a valid source, and you need to compare sources to make sure you are reading an event correctly.
Wait, you mean reading Wikipedia doesn’t make me a scholar???
Also fancy seeing you here Tirar.
exactly, if a wirki article is (properly) sourced, it's always worth at least giving it a look and then going immediately at the sources
I do some editing for Wikipedia. For science and technology, it is generally reliable. For history and social science, not so much. One quick and dirty way to determine the reliability of a Wikipedia article is to go the 'Talk' page associated with each article. If the 'Talk' page is rational and adult, the article is probably reliable. If the 'Talk' page is contentious or even childish, the article is doubtful. The Left understands that Wikipedia has become the 'go-to source' for naive students and has organized efforts to control the tone and content of certain types of articles. I suspect (but can not prove) that some of our intelligentsia are compensated in some fashion for their Wikipedia efforts by left-wing money and power.

The summing-up with the Thomas Sowell insight was brilliant. Indeed, the Truth will always discover who its real friends are.
Sowell's "A Conflict of Visions" is very enlightening.
First, thank you for doing all of this work. I've run across similar work from Dr. Thomas Sowell and Dinesh D'Souza, and I honestly feel we've gotten to a point where more voices are finally standing up to set this record straight. That's a good thing, lies can't dominate forever. I grew up in the Los Angeles, CA area and like so many, was raised believing that Hitler was a far-right political figure, with little explanation for why this was. The message was just blasted from multiple places, so it's just accepted, and for a while I never questioned it.
Funny enough, it was a documentary class with a very left leaning class and teacher where I first started to question this idea, all on my own. In this one documentary I was required to watch, I watched multiple speeches by Hitler, and for the first time actually paid attention to what the man was talking about and it left me wondering how the man could be conservative? He sounded more like Bernie Sanders than anything else. As I looked more and more into it, it became clear, I was lied to in my K-12 education. Hitler was a figure from the Left, NOT the Right.
Here's the problem as I see this right now, we live in a time when a lot of people make arguments without the ability to critically think and they are feed a lot of lies and mistruths. As such, when they try to defend their position, they often launch into personal insults instead of using the ability to debate academically. I've come to believe this ability has been lost on most people, and it's sad. Too many see saying "F-you" as legitimate debate strategy. We live in a time where clear evidence is pushed aside if it gets in the way of "the message." These people in this video are just part of that. Just know that there are people like me out there who appreciate what you are doing. Keep going!

There’s so many dishonest channels out there pushing economic fallacies, an example would be a channel known as ‘Unlearning Economics’.
What fallacies is Unlearning Economics teaching?
@@BigHenFor ‘Unlearning Economics’ attempts to argue that ‘Rent Control’ doesn’t cause housing shortages, or a decline in the standard of housing. He also argues that minimum wage doesn’t cause unemployment. It’s illogical, and the ‘data’ he uses to back up his argument overlooks many important aspects. I’d recommend reading ‘Basic Economics’ by Thomas Sowell and his chapter on Minimum wage and other forms of price controls and their affects. He dives deep into why the denialists ‘evidence’ is flawed.
@@BigHenFor I don't watch that channel, but the idea of "Unlearning economics" is a fallacy in itself.
It's as absurd as saying you can unlearn Physics.
@@plebius As per usual, you fail to understand basic economics.
If you find an equation which somehow proves that 2+2=5, it is wrong, regardless of what ‘evidence’ you use. It goes against basic logic.
A common problem with research on the employment effects of minimum wage laws is that surveys of employers before and after a minimum wage increase can survey only those particular businesses which survived in both periods.
Another way of looking at this is that you could survey people who have played Russian roulette and ‘prove’ from their experience that it is a harmless activity since those whom it was not harmless are unlikely to be surveyed (because they’re dead). Thus you would have refuted the ‘myth’ that Russian roulette is dangerous.
@@plebius I’m not, many economists know that you are wrong. Thomas Sowell goes into detail in his book ‘Basic Economics’ about how minimum wage causes unemployment and employs mountains of data which contradicts your ‘evidence’.
You are the one denying scientific research.
At first I thought this would be a pointless video, but I thoroughly enjoyed this dressing down. Very entertaining, well done
I'm glad you enjoyed it! After thinking about it, I realized that this video was important in several different ways, which is why I decided to release it on a Monday. It provides various different lessons to both supporters and critics of the channel, and is entertaining in it's own right. I've got a feeling that this may be the end of the matter (based on ODS's responses so far, it seems that he hasn't learnt his lesson), but I'm somewhat hopeful that the guy may realize and admit his mistake, or provide a solid counter-argument. If not, I may just leave him be.
@@TheImperatorKnight I wouldn't put money on them changing their minds.
Despite their declarations, I think it's pretty clear they do have a dog in this fight. The benefit of videos such as this one, is that you'll make them looks stupid. They will double-down and make themselves look even more stupid. It's all about playing to the audience. Nobody wants to look as foolish as they do and everybody wants to be on the winning team. I suspect you have won over a lot of people.
I really hope there are more videos like this, but with one small difference. You need to constantly remind everybody that they are defending the reputation of the guys who murdered 100 million people, from the guy who murdered 11 million people.

This is all funny since ive had multiple gay friends and one of my best friends is gay and one of old friends is Portuguese and we have been friends since almost the very start of highschool and even funnier is he guy that accused me of paedophilia literally had been trying to go out with people not turned 16 yet multiple times! and my only relationship was with someone OLDER than me! Do not give them the satisfaction of attention
If that's the conclusion you've come away with, you've fallen for TIKs lies.
@@personaa422 and their obvious evidence against what he said is where to be seen? Nowhere
Speaking only for myself: I found that rebuttal, which seemed to me to amount to something along the lines of "He's either ignorant or dishonest, because I say so, long videos and detail, all junk because wrong definitions, (name-calling), National Socialists were really bad so not socialists, (name-calling)", somewhat less than convincing.
"you only have to watch 15 mins to know the whole vid is trash".
an intellectual right here
"You watch the synopsis at the first 15 minutes and then when he starts arguing his point stop listening, there's nothing there that helps prove his point I promise." - A guy who's definitely not a liar.
16:55 Did that guy just used Wikipedia as a credible reference source for his argument? Even foundation students at university knows to avoid this at all costs.
What's annoying is that the Wikipedia page on the Third Reich economy doesn't even mention the word or concept of "Gleichschaltung". But a separate Wikipedia page exists for it though, so someone clearly knows it exists. This is an indication that the narrative is being controlled by the user base on Wikipedia.
@@TheImperatorKnight Wow! You are a hero! Thank you!
Lol, I got into an arguement at a job interview/training session with a fellow trainee who had recently completed her degree, over internet sources. I asked if any of the sources she was quoting were peer reviewed. She asked "What does that mean?" Omfg.
@@neilgriffiths6427 Shocking. Having a degree doesn't seem to carry much weight anymore. Just watered down certificates.
2:59 I think the elimination of the trade unions was more about the Nazis not liking organizations they could not control. But you are right, they created their own trade union (that they had complete control over) and crushed all the others.
Exactly, they wanted more control. That's what socialization of the trade unions allowed.
@@TheImperatorKnight The ultimate question is: how many strikes were there after the nationalisation of the unions?
How many were NOT put down violently, with the instigators sent to "re-education" camps?
After all, anyone who knows ANYTHING about trade unions is that they just LOVE a good strike!
(Sorry if you already covered this; I'm old 😅)
@@edwardcullen1739 see also what Stalin did...
1 union, no more strikes allowed.
Do you want to describe the USSR as capitalist?
@@auzor5900 Exactly my point (which I guess I made poorly?)
Once the state is in control of the means of production, interference with that, say, by striking, is definitionally, an act of treason...
So how many strikes were there? That tells you whether the trade unions *actually* existed or existed only in name... Like North Korea is a "democratic" nation... It's just that there's only ever one candidate...
@@edwardcullen1739 I see what you're getting at, but socialism isn't defined by 'union workers have the right to strike'.

@@TheImperatorKnight *TIK* , I posted this comment but it wasn't adresssed to anybody. I'll repost it to you, because I think it might help you. Hope you do a quick read:
>> *TIK* : I congratulate your efforts and solid research. I think what BOTH sides miss. is when both Socialism and Capitalism get CORRUPTED, that's why for both sides is so difficult to explain. There is something called CRONY CAPITALISM, which happens when the BIG private owners of the "means of production" are cronies of the State. Sometimes these big magnates "buy" the politicians and govts. Sometimes it is the State who "buys" them or coopts them with money, or else... And that's what happened with Adolf's Germany. Its a CORRUPTED brand of Capitalism. A brand of Crony Capitalism.... Mom and Pop shops existed, and also BIG corporations, as long as they supported Adolf. And yes, that's how Capitalism can be Totalitarian, like Germany was. When it gets corrrupted...
And that's why Capitalism not always means "freedom" for the individual, or anybody. When the BIG private corporations and the State are cronies.
In contrast, in the Communist (and Totalitarian) Soviet Union, there were NO "Mom and Pop" shops at all. No small workshops. No BIG Corporations and no magnates to "buy" or coopt. ALL private property was banned. Everything was owned by the State. And it also managed to get very corrupted, but that has nothing to do with Adolf. It was Communism, an extreme brand of Socialism. No private property at all. And also no individual freedom as we know it.
Simple.
PS . Extremes touch themselves.
Corruption can lead to totalitarianism, from the right wing or the left.
@@ElYeyuno My hat off to you Sir - Excatly like this should they (ODS) have responded, after they had watch the full video - That is what I at least call a start off an intellequtal discussion - Refresing to see this ElYeyuno S (Pardon for any misspellings - english aint my first langague)
@@slandermansland401 ....Well, thanks. I was about to delete it because TIK had the patience to reply to me somewhere else. English is not my first language either, so some things I wrote might seem odd. The guys on the video think they know everything. It's clear they dont. And I don't, either.... I guess we can learn something new every day.
@@ElYeyuno Agree with "we can learn something new every day" and the way to do that is to listen, read and analyze what the other what the other part is trying to communicate, but sadly not many take the time to listen and read anything seriously.

Actually yes, as someone with an academic background I cringe at the way they try to present their points. Also calling someone "retarded" or going full retard does not help your credibility. It not only disrepects those who have to live with disabilities and adds toxicity but it also pulls the whole discussion down to a highschool yard level.
Love how they complain about the length of your videos and then they make a 30 minute one where they day absolutely nothing
You can lead an idiot to water but you can't make him drink. Even when he's clearly dying of thirst. They remind me of the Black Knight in Monty Python too.
it's just a flesh wound.
It’s just a little redistribution and collectivization not socialism
TIK's video about Hitler's socialism is the best video on youtube. The level of research, study and knowledge, the amazing presentation in different colors from each ideology is just amazing. I can't imagine how much time must've taken to make that video. The problem is that today's young people have a very short attention span, they just watch 2 minutes of something or read two paragraphs and think they know everything about that subject.
Yes, that's definitely it... it's those damned young people. Nothing like our generation. Completely different. The 200 or so generations since civilization sprung up saying the same? Ignore those, they were wrong, our generation is great. Us saying it about the 201st generation? Now we're talking real shit. Those damned youngsters being stupid (unlike us), and ruining the world (unlike us, we did and are still doing great as a generation). Damned young people and them being so completely different to the previous thousands of generations of Homo Sapiens... there has never been such a difference between generations as there is today. I mean, clearly if you look at the data, you can easily pinpoint the moment my wife decided to leave me.
@Jakub the difference this time is the fact no generation prior has had access to the internet. It's not "the young" that's the issue, it's the fact that our brains weren't designed to deal with something like this before. It's destroyed people's attention spans.
@@TheImperatorKnight I don't know man, I disagree. The same was said about books and movies before. Until we have enough concrete data I just can't hold that position. You put out tons of long videos that can be quite dry, and I still bet a lot of young people watch them all the way through. We're still the same... The internet doesn't make it worse, just more obvious.
@@jakubhejna6301 The thing is that most people that disagree with Tik and dismiss him, didn't even bother to watch his videos and listen to the arguments they are dismissing. That's what is bothering Tik, and rightfully so. If you watched the video and disagree with it, that's perfectly fine, everyone can have their own opinion. But it's not fine when you're just slandering a person without even listening to its arguments, without even watching the video.
That’s so true. I met a few American Gen Z and they couldn’t even put an argument what socialism and capitalism is from economical aspects. And his answer was “I read Marx”. Well, reading Marx doesn’t give you knowledge on economy. Not to mention that he never talked about economy to begin with, but rather philosophy of economics. I never have seen in Marx work if he ever mentioned how it all is supposed to work.
Olaf: Tik, what's it like getting OWNED like that?
Tik: it's a bit like being beaten about the head with a feather; it doesn't hurt much but you're glad when it's over
TIK: *Literally Provides 5 hours worth of historical evidence on how the Nazis were socialist
This guy: Bu' proivi'oisation roi'
23:16. It even says this in the BBC Series "The World At War", that German industrialists were encouraged to eat the same food alongside their workers. If this is not egalitarianism, I don't know what is. Oh, and the whole concept that everyone "belonged", as long as you were considered German or Aryan and kowtowed to the Nazis. Sounds like a socialist/communist state to me.
Exactly!
"German industrialists were encouraged to eat the same food alongside their workers. If this is not egalitarianism, I don't know what is."
That sounds like a gesture intended to present the image of egalitarianism. I.E a PR stunt.. At the end of the day those workers went to their little homes and ate their rations whilst the industrial elite went home to their mansions and had servants cook them 5-star meals. No one could consider that to be egalitarianism. There was undeniable wealth inequality and an inequality of prestige and political power.
"Oh, and the whole concept that everyone "belonged", as long as you were considered German or Aryan and kowtowed to the Nazis. Sounds like a socialist/communist state to me."
Liberalism has the same dynamic. In Liberalism everyone "belongs" as long as they act within the confines of the law and don't threaten the liberal order, I.E as long as they are "good citizens". The difference is Nazism and Marxism have a more limited vision of what it means to be a "good citizen" whereby many more are excluded or eradicated than is the case in Liberalism. You are right to put "belonging" in quotes because it is a hollow concept under any system that has to use force to create homogenuity.
Fun fact this is what happens in the richest corporations in the world.
A window dressing of egalitarianism is not the same as socialism, not even remotely. The British Royal Family took great pains to look like they were undergoing the same hardships as East End dock workers, that doesn't mean the class distinction between them was abolished.
@@MarcoBonechi And because these corporations usually end up acting like a socialist government (centralized control over decision making), they end up having the same problems that afflicted the communist states, i.e. inability to react quickly to changing conditions and entrenched bureaucracy. One need only look at the IBM PC fiasco or the implosion of Atari to see this.
@ 51:45
I'm laughing way too hard: they're saying all this, and your own video is literally loading up exactly what they're about to say.
They're literally agreeing with you, and the don't even realize it! This is priceless! They literally proved your point!
It's fantastic! This part of the video is my favourite!
@@TheImperatorKnight
I can believe it: doubtless it's also the most surreal part of the video. Like watching a trainwreck in slow motion.
😂😂😂 Truth
These guys must really like Stargate SG-1 if they keep pronouncing your name that way.
Indeed.
(Raises one eye brow)
You are a gentleman and a scholar. Thank you for putting so much effort into these videos, its really gotten me interested in a lot of these topics which I haven't thought about for a year or two.
The Dunning Kruger Effect is alive and well in this bunch.
In the Pro-TIK Bunch, yes.
@@revanofkorriban1505 Actually you just proved the Anti-Tik bunch is guilty of it.

@@UltraKardas Unlike you, I am informed about Hitler, and that's how I came to the conclusion that TIK is wrong, obviously wrong.
We don't deserve you TIK. Your time is truly appreciated for making this excellent content.
Oh wow, this was even more eye-opening for me than the original video. Thank you.
Glad to hear it!
A comprehensive rebuttal. Thanks.
The work that you did with these 2 videos is amazing.
I cannot imagine the amount of hours and research put so thank you.
Also I have a small “curiosity”. I am new to your channel, so am I curious if you lost a lot of subscribers and in what proportion :)
I initially lost a few hundred subscribers as a result of my stance on Hitler's Socialism. It's hard to judge because UA-cam only lists the cumulative total of subscribes and unsubscribes, not the individual amounts. So I lost 150 or so, but it could have been more like 200. I could also be losing a small amount of subscribers each day as a result of this, but the number of subscriptions outweighs the number of unsubscribes. There's only been a few days in the history of my channel where I've lost subscribers, and most of those have been when UA-cam deleted spam accounts. Interestingly, I lost more to UA-cam deleting spam accounts than I did for my stance on Hitler's Socialism.
I did lose a lot of Patreons as a result of the first National Socialism is Socialism video in 2018. Many messaged me instantly to tell me how I had "betrayed" them, and how I should be ashamed of myself for spouting "blatant lies". I had only just gone full time, and the hate I received and the loss of this Patreon base made me worry that I was going to have to go back to working in retail. I then got angry, and this is what drove me to quietly do my homework behind the scenes and create the 5 hour Hitler's Socialism video. I wanted to show that I hadn't just come to this view based on lies or propaganda, but on hard evidence and solid interpretation, and that the people who were ignoring me or slandering me were wrong or ideologues themselves. I think I've achieved my aim with that regard.
@@TheImperatorKnight Well done TIK.

@@TheImperatorKnight You didn't lose anything you GAINED a higher quality average in your viewership!
@@jamesginty6684 Seeing you spam this in the comments makes people LESS likely to watch the video, not more.
Im very slightly left wing and a reformed socialist, i found your pro capitalist arguments very persuasive fresh and interesting, its very hard to find pro capitalist arguemnts now, you definatly changed my mind on a few things and anyone who can change a stuborn mind like mine is worth listening to, also i think its healthy to listen to people you dont agree with as they are the people you can learn the most from, as long as they are smart and well researched of course !
The true red pill, in my opinion, is having a sincere and informed opinion that sees the merits of both "sides"
@ mcpartridgeboy What is a reformed socialist? Can you name a single economically successful socialist country?
@@dennisweidner288 A reformed socialist is an ex socialist who reformed his ideas to a better more mature outlook.
@@mcpartridgeboy Bravo. I hope it includes the realization that socialism destroys wealth while capitalism creates wealth.
@@dennisweidner288 yes i agree with that, its one of many reasons i changed my views, the main one being milions of dead people, but a nice side bonus of capitalism is efficiency and profit !

>commentator pauses the video and uses an unbacked comment to say "yeah he's full of shit, see?"

Keep doing what you're doing, TIK. I used to think Hitler was a capitalist but you have proved me wrong, thank you.
Oh wow, I got through to someone! You're only the second guy I've ever seen who's said this! Fantastic!
Add me to the list too. I thought Fasicm to be the direct opposite to communism, left vs right. It also gave me another look at the Dutch populist parties. In the pre TIK days I found it hard to rime their political left, very socialist agenda with their rhetoric on undesirables. Not anymore, it makes much more sense then to continue thinking they are right wing. History again teaching about current events. Stay awesome TIK. 👌👍
