>Hitler was a devout capitalist.
Is this tongue in cheek?
- romafirst3 3y agoIn that he was devout in any economic theory it was capitalism. Crony capitalism but capitalism. He literally made slaves work for private companies, you don’t get more capitalist than that.
- twirlip 3y agoThe German industrialists of the early 20th Century feared unionism, socialism, and communism. They backed Hitler and funded the Nazi party. In turn, Nazis enacted the Nacht und Nebel slave labor program, Lex Krupp, and allowed companies such as Krupp to take property from conquered nations.
- nicbou 3y agoNacht und Nebel is was not a slave labor program. It was the practice of making people disappear.
- twirlip 3y agoYou are right. Those not killed within a week's time were sent to to concentration camps. Many were forced labor (slave) and then moved to death camps.when they could no longer work. My apologies for being unclear.
- pphysch 3y agoOh I forgot he called his party "Socialist", that automatically disqualifies it from being de facto fascist or capitalist. /eyeroll
