Andrew – I really can’t afford to unload my whole book in the Corner, but I also would really love to have this discussion. On the economics front, allow me to have Hitler respond.

Here’s how he explained his thinking on the question of nationalizing industry, the way the Communists did, versus the Fascist approach in a letter to Herman Rauschning:

“Of what importance is all that, if I range men firmly within a discipline they cannot escape? Let them own land or factories as much as they please. The decisive factor is that the State, through the Party, is supreme over them regardless of whether they are owners or workers. All that is unessential; our socialism goes far deeper. It establishes a relationship of the individual to the State, the national community. Why need we trouble to socialize banks and factories? We socialize human beings.”

As for the Communitarian thing, I’d love to see any articles on that point because it dovetails nicely with some of my arguments.
