"You might have mentioned that the Kaiser's prime minister, Bismarck, instituted Germany's social welfare system which he called Staatssozialismus. " Right. And this makes your being dubious about the degree of acceptance of socialism in the Weimar Republic stronger because... what exactly? Not sure what you're talking about. Welfare state socialism was established by Bismarck and everybody accepted it - including the National Socialists. "BTW the Nazis did not repeal any of these welfare state policies." So? The ideology was tied up in different issues. ......... Thanks, though. You have strengthened my claim that calling their party a socialist worker's party was a smart political move. A smart political move, okay. But retaining the established welfare state socialist laws also supports the view of the Nazis as a kind of pro-socialist movement themselves. Clearly they weren't opposed to welfare state socialism.
