Nazism had 2 political ennemies on top of their racial prejudice: Communism and Plutocracy, incarnated respectively by USSR and US & UK.
If you dislike people focussed on making money, you share more with Nazis than real Plutocrats.
Another major theme was the difference between British "plutocracy" and Nazi Germany. German newspapers and newsreels often pictured photos and footage of British unemployed and slums together with unfavorable commentary about the differences in living standards of the working class of Nazi Germany vs that of the working class living under British "plutocracy".[22] Germany was represented as an ideal collectivist Volksgemeinschaft(People’s Community) which put the economic “common interest before the individual interest”, which was contrasted with the supposed savage Manchestertum (Manchester capitalism) and individualist society of Britain where it was alleged that the rich had it all while the poor were left to starve.[23] So successful were the anti-capitalist attacks on Britain that reports to Social Democratic émigré Sopade from within Germany reported that the Nazis had made major gains with those German workers who had voted SPD and KPD during the Weimar Republic.
