mass industrialization irrevocably altered the fabric of the world we live in. A huge apsect of the american civil war was the south basically refusing to follow the north into the industrial age...but even if the south had won the war it would at best delay the inevitable.
i believe the NSDAP discovered the correct way to adjust the responsiiblities of the state to account for industrialization...here is point 7-17 of the NSDAP party platform:
7. We demand that the state be charged first with providing the opportunity for a livelihood and way of life for the citizens. If it is impossible to nourish the total population of the State, then the members of foreign nations (non-citizens) must be excluded from the Reich.
8. All immigration of non-Germans must be prevented. We demand that all non-Germans, who have immigrated to Germany since 2 August 1914, be required immediately to leave the Reich.
9. All citizens of the state shall be equal as regards rights and obligations.
10. The first obligation of every citizen must be to productively work mentally or physically. The activity of individual may not clash with the interests of the whole, but must proceed within the framework of the whole for the benefit for the general good. We demand therefore:
11. Abolition of unearned (work and labour) incomes. Breaking of debt (interest)-slavery.
12. In consideration of the monstrous sacrifice of life and property that each war demands of the people, personal enrichment due to a war must be regarded as a crime against the nation. Therefore, we demand ruthless confiscation of all war profits.
13. We demand nationalization of all businesses which have been up to the present formed into companies (trusts).
14. We demand that the profits from wholesale trade shall be shared out.
15. We demand an expansion on a large scale of old age welfare.
16. We demand the creation of a healthy middle class and its conservation, immediate communalization of the great warehouses and their being leased at low cost to small firms, the utmost consideration of all small firms in contracts with the State, county or municipality.
17. We demand a land reform suitable to our needs, provision of a law for the free expropriation of land for the purposes of public utility, abolition of taxes on land and prevention of all speculation in land.
with such policies, Germany quickly rose to the country with the highest GDP on earth, skyrocketing over the USA and the British empire. The average German easily had the highest quality of life of all people on earth.
but plutocrats living in other countries were terrified by the success of Germany...because their own wealth and lifestyle depended on maintaining things like debt slavery. so they bribed the politicians of their country to go to war with Germany and destroy the NSDAP system, and then they made up absurd stories of atrocities so that nobody would bother to investigate whether the NSDAP system was a success.
