1. Anti-union sentiment
The National Socialists made union membership compulsory.
2. Private ownership and property
Not entirely true. The owners had to do as told. Furthermore the National Socialists set up state-owned factories to compete with private corporations.
3. High involvement of corporations in government decision making
Not really. By 1935 the "corporations" man had been fired and eventually wound up in a concentration camp.
4. Acceptance of different social classes as a part of the economy
The National Socialists stressed German nationalism; one's economic or regional background was irrelevent.
5. The belief that the successful should guide society (social darwinism)
Not sure why an International Socialist community would seek to be run by the unsucccessful
6. The use of a market economy
The National Socialists regulated salaries and prices, controlled output, directed production ect. It did not rely upon the market economy.
7. A history of deregulation
Not so much deregulation as removal of restraints which would thwart the state.
8. A history of tax reduction
Tax rates were raised in National Socialist Germany.
