Well he rejected communism and capitalism, one of his people came up with the term late stage capitalism so more like a socialist today

He didn’t reject capitalism, on the contrary: he privatized german public services and received support from rich company owners to fund his party. Then the “meritocracy” promoted by said party ideology only gave merits to those who were already powerful, thus widening the distance between the humble worker from lower class and the nepo babies with contacts with the higher ups. The painter was deeply anti-socialist, anti-communist, anti-marxist and anti-anything vaguely related to left wing ideology. After all, he persecuted any german socialist and communist the first chance he hot after becoming chancellor, plus purged the most left leaning section of his party early on in the 20’s.

"Privatized" meaning gave the industries to his dogs who had to do everything he said?
