    hypermilitarizes society

    convinces itself it is the greatest military on earth

    fights one war

    loses

    leader kills himself in embarrassment

    how is this effective?

        its kinda dumber than that. Most of the sterotype of nazism being this ultra-militarist spartan state is more pop culture depicting their war against the soviets. nazi germany was much less mobilized than most of he other participants in WW2 until gobbel’s famous “total war” speech because the nazi government depended on the loyalty of mega corporations for it’s support base and designed their doctrine of blizkrieg as a way of deploying the fewest military resources possible for the shortest period of time so all of those conscripts could go back to working in the factory making wiener sniztzel

        look at any research on nazi war production and while its easy to use it as a way of demonstrating the superiority of the soviet system to nazism, the truth is that basically every industrialized country was able to top germany in war production because nazi germany was just five slave owning megacorps in a top hat.
