Are you saying what the US has been involved in for the past 70 years isn't a racket? This man called it first, and he knew what he was talking about.

- dragontamer 7y agoAll articles need to be read in their historical context. In 1933, the "next war" to come was WWII, roughly 1939 through 1945. Was WWII a "racket" ?
- ZeroGravitas 7y agoYes, of course it was. Hitler was bribing many of his own military leaders to keep them on side. The German corporations gained monopolies and power under Hitler. The rich sent Hitler to spy on a small political party because they feared the workers might stand together to gain political power and they stood behind him even after he took control of it and turned it into the Nazis. Some historians think Germany's wars were obviously suicidal, even without the benefit of hindsight, but at the time a lot of people were living very lavish lives while it lasted. All the while casting the blame for everything on poor immigrants that they caged near the borders.
