And people forget – or, more likely, never even knew in the first place – why "national socialism" was called that in the first place. The intention was to create an anticapitalist ideology that was in opposition to Marxist socialism, ie. good 'ol "third way" stuff.
They really were anticapitalist for a while, up until the Night of the Long Knives in 1934 when the strasserists and the Black Front got murked, and then the Nazis just sort of forgot about all that anticapitalist stuff and went all-in on privatisation and courting Big Money. The whole reason for the split between the strasserists and the "hitlerites" was that Hitler wasn't at all into anticapitalism: because Otto Strasser thought that Hitler had betrayed national socialism by getting in bed with capitalists he formed the Black Front in… uh… fuck, early 30's I think. Naturally Hitler took that really well.
But yeah, the Nazis outlawed unions in favour of their corporatist vision (note that "corporatist" probably doesn't mean what you think it means if the term isn't familiar), and shoved anyone to the left of, well, the Nazis into concentration camps.
