A batch of the best highlights from what Stefan's read, .
If Hitler were a capitalist - if National Socialism was just capitalism in disguise - then Hitler was not totalitarian. You cannot have totalitarianism without total state control of the economy. Since the idea of totalitarianism was invented by Mussolini and the Fascists in 1925 to describe their own regime, "...everything in the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state..." Therefore, it's worth pointing out that, to be classified as totalitarian, both Fascism and National Socialism must be socialist. So, those arguing that it is capitalism are basically saying that Hitler and Mussolini did not have totalitarian control over their nations. This is incorrect, but that's what they argue.
