The idea that word socialism in the name is truthful is like saying all the countries that have taken the word Republic fit the bill . Nazism has more in common with corporatism then anything else.
As for Stalin . The Czars terrorized Russia under divine right . Stalin terrorized Russia under the" inevitability of history to which all must submit" And saw the horrors he unleashed as the inevitability. Pure mysticism no wonder he wanted to research psychic powers and all manor of other occult nonsense. As for economics Stalin was not a socialist and Stalinism is not socialism.
The Nazis like Stalin had their one party states investing in the same global market the west invested in. The case is still the same with friend and foe alike, both open west and closed states like North Korea and Theocracies like Saudi Arabia have global business investments. If your dictator family, such as the Saudi Royals, or Kim Jong Un family had no investments they would have no way to pay armies to protect them.
"Capitalism" IS NOT a form of government. China allows western label business and international business because it brings in money to the economy as well as supporting China's communist party. Fidel Castro at his death was estimated to be worth $800,000,000 net personal wealth. Gadaffi was a billionaire who owned stock in GE.
There are only more open states like in the west that when the laws are made right, block rising monopolies and bust corruption. But outside that there are simply more open societies and more closed societies. But the world's leaders and their parties that support them both friend and foe are part of a global market.
Oh I agree completely
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
