More forceful and aggressive authoritarian rule, sure, but they're as communist as Hitler...

Re: New Militant Communism In China and Russia
He did not. There was no "state owned economy".
This is true, but it was done via Keynesian style government spending. The people put back to work were employed by Thyssen, Krupp, IG Farben, Bosch, Blaupunkt, Daimler-Benz, Demag, Henschel, Junkers, Messerschmitt, Siemens and dozens of other privately owned corporations which landed huge government contracts.
The socialist aspect of the Nazi party was amputated when the Reichspropagandaleiter Gregor Strasser, who advocated an anti-capitalist social revolutionary course for the NSDAP, was sidelined by Hitler in 1930. He was replaced by Josef Goebbels and murdered during the Night of the Long Knives in 1934.
Hitler's Germany was no more socialist than Kim Jong-un's Democratic People's Republic of Korea is democratic.

I didn't know the bit about Strasser, thanks for making me better.

Re: New Militant Communism In China and Russia
The persistence of the old canard regarding Nazi socialism gets a bit annoying, especially when the people who keep spreading it can only point to the word "socialist" in the Nazi party's name in their attempt to support their assertion. Not that they can do anything else. There is no evidence that Hitler's regime was a socialist one. None whatsoever. Economically, he worked through private enterprise, socially through the Gestapo, the SI and the SS.
If you have not already done so, you could read a brief summary of Gregor Strasser's rise and fall here.
