    Capitalism per se still offers you the chance to buy fair and sustainable products. Nazism did not offer you the chance to save jews without risking your own life.

    Therefore nazism is worse.

      Nazism is of course worse than normal Capitalism, but they are the same thing underneath, reacting to different circumstances. Nazism is a Capitalist response to left wing organization in order to violently suppress it, and ensure the existing ruling class does not lose power.

          It suggests that they are the same system in different circumstances. We pin the sins of Capitalism on “Nazism” whenever Capitalism puts on the Nazi mask, and when it takes it back off we pretend the underlying system is different. The victims of Nazism are also victims of Capitalism, but the victims of Capitalism are not necessarily victims of Nazism.
