In practice, some corporations did very well under the Nazis:
GM and Ford were vital components of the Nazi war effort. GM and Ford subsidiaries built nearly 90 percent of the armored ?mule? 3-ton half-trucks and more than 70 percent of the Reich?s medium and heavy-duty trucks. GM?s plants built thousands of bomber and jet fighter propulsion systems for the Luftwaffe.

by the First World War Krupp was Germany's largest armaments company.
Krupp and his father were initially hostile to the Nazi Party. However, in 1930 they were persuaded by Hjalmar Schacht that Adolf Hitler would destroy the trade unions and the political left in Germany. Schacht also pointed out that a Hitler government would considerably increase expenditure on armaments. In 1933 Krupp joined the Schutzstaffel (SS).

It is possibly not the point you were making, Dan, but in practice, capitalism did flourish in all its 'glory' under the nazis. Any socialism was a poor second to the main nationalism/race agenda, imo.
I think it fair to say Hitler and the nazis are the BNP's unofficial inspiration, and if they too were to come to power, we would not be living in a socialist wonderland.
