    What did the Nazis want to conserve, exactly? They hated Christianity, they hated free-market capitalism, they wanted to wipe out half the continent and settle it with Germans, and they wanted to completely reshape every aspect of society around the state. They didn’t wanna conserve shit, except maybe the Junkers’ economic dominance.

      They hated Christianity

      Every German soldier had “Got mitt uns” (God is with us) on their belt buckles.

      Most Nazis were Christians.

      The idea that the Nazis hated Christianity is silly. Some upper-echelon Nazis might have, but the overall members of the Nazi Party were Christians. Including the participants in the Holocaust. They were doing it because Martin Luther said so.

      Hierarchy. And reactionaries are still right wing, even if they want to recreate an imagined past of hierarchies rather than just conserving the existing ones.

        I didn’t say they weren’t right wing, only that they weren’t conservative. Going backwards isn’t conserving anything.
