Fun fact: Hitler never said that.Strahcoin wrote:Washington Resistance Army wrote:
I'd like to give you a casual reminder that the Nazis were so far from being socialists that the word "privatization" was literally created to describe Hitlerian economic policy in the mid 1930's lol.
That seems to contradict quotes where Hitler supported socialism.
“We are socialists, we are enemies of today’s capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are all determined to destroy this system under all conditions”
It does seem strange that the Nazis would endorse privatization when their platform stated they demanded "the nationalization of all trusts" and the creation of an "unconditional authority by the political central parliament of the whole State and all its organizations". Who else was in the government at that time?
It is true that a prominent nazi said that, and it really is an uncomfortable fact that fascism did have its origins more on the left wing side than the right. However, it's disingenuous to continue that line of reasoning for the party after the 1934 purge.
And the mass selling of state assets during the nazi years is well established fact, bruv.
