If you look at the Nazi platform in the 1932 election they use a lot of populism: decrease unemployment, raise farm prices, and kill the rich establishment (the Jews). I'm not saying that all populists are Nazis or anything, but you have to admit he had some populism.

I'm going to say "no" beacuse of the situation in 1933-4 was a bit different.  It was the SA, under Ernst Rohm, that put the "socialists" in the "National Socialists."  They were not only opposed to the Jews being rich, but the rich being rich.

The 1920 platform said:

Now that is populist! 

The main proponents were Rohn and the SA, who were calling for a "second revolution" in 1934.  He was killed in the purge called, "The Night of Long Knives" in 1934.  While not the only reason, one reason was that business community expressed conserns about this "Second Revolution" to Hitler (who also regarded him as a rival).

Well Hitler was no libertarian considering he wanted to put his enemies and those Nazi doctrine despised in concentration camps.

I would not call those mutually exclusive.

Pat Buchanan is an example of an authoritarian populist.

I do consider Hitler a populist.  The key points of his popularity had a very populist flavor:
--xenophobia
--nationalism
--anti-establishment

Hitler had the support of many elite in the military and businesses. He was very anti-communist. Of course, he wasn't the friend of Jewish bankers.

Obviously. Fascist movements are generally populist (and not the idiotic definition of populist that some on this site use as the opposite of libertarian).

Jewish bankers were instruments of THE STATE. Hitler was a STATIST. Because Jewish bankers had a vested interest in THE STATE, and Hitler was a STATIST, they banded together to enrich THE STATE. In addition, the Jewish bankers were ZIONISTS. Hitler made ZIONISM feasible.

No. He acted like one, but he wasn't one--populists don't support dictatorships.

Why, how are your views different from Hitler's other than switching around the particular hated and preferred groups?
