Joseph Goebbels was an outright economic Marxist who deviously cloaked his Marxism with Germanic ethnocentrism. He called for a "class struggle" and said "once we have taken over the state, Germany will become a state of labor, a workers’ state." He yearned for a "labor state" (no different than the one in Soviet Russia) and linked his anti-Semitism to his anti-capitalism, saying the two "go together": "As socialists we are opponents of the Jews because we see in the Hebrews the incarnation of capitalism, of the misuse of the nation’s goods." He wanted to alleviate Jews of their capital so that he could socialize it and use it for German state projects. But he was also against non-Jewish capitalists so the "Jewish" thing was a foil for his generic hostility to business owners and "capital" like any Marxist. Since his anti-Jewish stance was schizophrenic and shapeshifting, he also attacked them on the grounds that they led Marxism even though he was a closeted Marxist who echoed Marxist rhetoric about capitalism. In his 1939 screed against England, he framed the war with England as a war between capitalism (England) and socialism (Germany): "England is a capitalist democracy. Germany is a socialist people’s state. And it is not the case that we think England is the richest land on earth. There are lords and City men in England who are in fact the richest men on earth. The broad masses, however, see little of this wealth." He gave away the game in a 1925 speech in a beer hall, in which he declared Lenin the "greatest man" next to Hitler and argued there were only "slight differences" between Communism and Hitlerism.
