What are you rebelling against, Andor?

The myth that Fascists and Nazis were capitalists is promoted by the left to obscure the Fascist connection to socialism. The Fascist motto was: "Everything for the state, nothing outside the state." The Nazis made similar statements, asserting that industries not serving the state would be taken over. In practice, the Nazi regime operated as a kleptocracy, seizing anything they could get their hands on.

Mussolini was a communist before founding Fascism. Early on, he had the support of the far left in America—a fact the left tried to obscure after the war by labeling the Fascists and Nazis as "far-right."

The first speech of the German Workers' Party that Hitler attended focused on why free market capitalism should be abandoned. Hitler became member number 50. He did not oppose socialism itself, only international socialism, which was viewed as a threat in Germany at the time. Instead, he advocated for national socialism. There's a reason the party renamed itself the National Socialist German Workers' Party—it presented itself as a nationalist alternative to international socialism.

Andor isn't about rebelling against an economic system; it's about rebelling against oppression.
