In Ian Kershaw's Hitler biography, he said that Hitler "completely privatized" political power

[YoungDemCA]

As in, political power was completely embodied in a despotic yet charismatic personality and his supporting cast of absolute fiends.

Moreover, the Nazi economy was essentially a cartel of corporate interests whose profitability synchronized comfortably with the political objectives of the Third Reich.

What naturally follows from this is that there's no room for popular politics here - other than the mass mobilization of violent, thuggish supporters of the regime, of course.

Food for thought in these uh, "interesting" times in which we live.
