"They" was a dictator named Hitler, that's hardly society collectively owning the state and state functions and means of production.
Hitler worked in close cooperation with corporations, much like the Republican Party has always done with business in the US. Hitler privatized many national enterprises, more so than any other country at the time, in fact he pretty much introduced it.
Hitler and the Nazis are the ultimate in Far Right, hence why they're Far Right darlings, and worship Hitler like a god. The Nazi flag and the Confederate flag are the MAGA flags of choice for a reason, and it isn't because they think Jimmy Carter was really neato.
