what's the Peat explanation for blonde hair/blue eyes? a tendency to store different minerals in the hair/eyes?I do not know anything about him, but National Socialism was completely opposed to the Marxist conceptions of social order and largely on important economic policy. Despite sharing a critique of Capital (and from what I see Hilferding strongly criticized Finance Capital to which I would agree), their economic approaches were radically different. The Marxists wanted to Nationalize all industry and collectivize the farms, the National Socialists maintained private initiative so long as it did not clash with German interests as a whole. Marxism also de-emphasized the importance of Race, which was central to National Socialist ideology. Hilferding was Jewish and the wiki says he fled Germany in 1933 and later died in prison under the custody of the Gestapo in 1941. I cant know the circumstances of his death (and the wiki source appears to be speculation as well). All in all, I would say the his critique of Finance Capital was shared by the Nazis, but the Nazis also saw the struggle as not just against Finance Capital, but complete de-racination and destruction of Germany's bloodlines - which Hilferding I doubt would care for at all. Blood and Soil provides a simple understanding of the NS worldview, rather than simply being against Finance Capital. Although the latter is implied if the former is taken to its conclusions.
