I wanted to share this one because it's a bizarre sounding argument, but I've actually seen it before.

Where I've seen it before was under the claim that the National Socialist German Workers Party (NSDAP) (Nazis) were a Capitalist organization because political parties are not public entities, and are actually private organizations; therefore a single party seizing absolute control over the state, and then using state control to dominate all of society, is AXSCHKULLY private companies seizing public power, not public companies seizing private property.

So, when the Ba'ath party seizes power in Iraq? That's Capitalism. Or when the Leninists seize power in Russia? That's Capitalism. Or when the Khmer Rouge seize power in Cambodia? Still Capitalism. All those Socialists are private property owners, bro.

Here's one of the original arguments about how the National Socialists were Capitalists. It's from Germà Bel. Basically, the claim is that it doesn't matter that the NSDAP was running the state. If the NSDAP sells a state run company to itself (from the state to the state party), that is considered privatization.
