I agree with you on "raw materials" (food, crude oil, etc.), but I would say that we are very dependent on other countries for manufacturing capability. Hopefully we can reverse that in the future.
I would also just say that "socialism" can be mis-applied in certain contexts. For instance, it is true that the **** Party was CALLED National Socialists, but in reality they were fascists, not socialists. And fascism is defined as a far-right political ideology. The ***** were much more about the "Na" than the "zi".
Fascism is a form of
far-right,
authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, as well as strong regimentation of society and of the economy which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe. The first fascist movements
emerged in Italy during
World War I, before
spreading to other European countries. Opposed to
liberalism,
Marxism, and
anarchism, fascism is placed on the far-right within the traditional
left–right spectrum.
The
National Socialist German Workers' Party (abbreviated in German as
NSDAP), commonly referred to in English as the
**** Party, was a
far-right political party in Germany that was active between 1920 and 1945, that created and supported the ideology of
National Socialism. Its precursor, the
German Workers' Party (
Deutsche Arbeiterpartei; DAP), existed from 1919 to 1920.
The **** Party emerged from the
German nationalist,
racist and
populist Freikorps paramilitary culture, which fought against the
communist uprisings in post-
World War I Germany. The party was created to draw workers away from communism and into
völkisch nationalism. Initially, **** political strategy focused on anti-
big business, anti-
bourgeois, and
anti-capitalist rhetoric, although this was later downplayed to gain the support of business leaders, and in the 1930s the party's main focus shifted to
antisemitic and
anti-Marxist themes.
