  30.  @eedragonr  Hi tler and his NS DAP were the State. NS DAP members were State employees. For example this is what happened to Junkers: "When the Na zis came into power in 1933 they requested Junkers and his businesses aid in the German re-armament. When Junkers declined, the Na zis responded by demanding ownership of all patents and market shares from his remaining companies, under threat of imprisonment on the grounds of High Treason. In 1934 Junkers was placed under house arrest, and died at home in 1935 during negotiations to give up the remaining stock and interests in Junkers. Under Na zi control, his company produced some of the most successful German warplanes of the Second World War." - Wiki And even the Time magazine wrote about Na zis confiscating businesses back in the day: "Most cruel joke of all, however, has been played by H itler & Co. on those German capitalists and small businessmen who once backed National Social ism as a means of saving Germany's bourgeois economic structure from radicalism. The Na zi credo that the individual belongs to the state also applies to business. Some businesses have been confiscated outright, on others what amounts to a capital tax has been levied. Profits have been strictly controlled. Some idea of the increasing Governmental control and interference in business could be deduced from the fact that 80% of all building and 50% of all industrial orders in Germany originated last year with the Government. Hard-pressed for foodstuffs as well as funds, the Nazi regime has taken over large estates and in many instances collectivized agriculture, a procedure fundamentally similar to Russian Comm unism." - "Adolf Hit ler: Man of the Year, 1938", Time; January 2, 1939.

  41.  @pqunit  "They privat ized industries and even so cial we lfare programs wherever poss ible. " Wrong. Privatizati on was never a thing in Na zi Germany. On the con trary, they nationa lized most of the industry and later reorganized all industries into corporations run by members of the Nazi Party. They called this "Gleichsch altung". "To put it quite clearly: we have an economic programme. Point No. 13 in that programme demands the nationalisation of all public companies, in other words social isation, or what is known here as socia lism. … the basic principle of my Party’s economic programme should be made perfectly clear and that is the princ iple of autho rity… the good of the community takes priority over that of the individual. But the Sta te should retain control; every owner should feel himself to be an agent of the S tate; it is his duty not to misuse his possessions to the detriment of the St ate or the interests of his fellow countrymen. That is the overriding point. The Th ird R eich will always retain the right to control property owners. If you say that the bour geoisie is tearing its hair over the question of pri vate prop erty, that does not affect me in the least. Does the bourgeoisie expect some consideration from me?… Today’s bourg eoisie is rotten to the core; it has no ideals any more; all it wants to do is earn money and so it does me what damage it can. The bourgeois press does me damage too and would like to consign me and my movement to the de vil.“ — Ad olf Hi tler, Hi tler's interview with Richard Breiting, 1931, published in Edouard Calic, ed.

  43.  @eedragonr  "What industry ever have the Na zis nationalized and confiscated?" Every major industry. Junkers for example, or Volkswagen or IG Far ben, or Krupp or Hugo Boss or Porsche. Every single one of the major industries were either owned by NS DAP directly, or its individual members. Either businesses bent the knee to the NS DAP or the owners were replaced by Hit ler's own goons. Of course the NSDAP got lucky in the sense, that most of the CEO's were already part of the NS DAP movement. "To put it quite clearly: we have an economic programme. Point No. 13 in that programme demands the nationalisation of all public companies, in other words socialis ation, or what is known here as socia lism. … the basic principle of my Party’s economic programme should be made perfectly clear and that is the principle of authority… the good of the community takes priority over that of the individual. But the State should retain control; every owner should feel himself to be an agent of the State; it is his duty not to misuse his possessions to the detriment of the State or the interests of his fellow countrymen. That is the overriding point. The Third Reich will always retain the right to control property owners. If you say that the bourgeoisie is tearing its hair over the question of private property, that does not affect me in the least. Does the bourgeoisie expect some consideration from me?… Today’s bourgeoisie is rotten to the core; it has no ideals any more; all it wants to do is earn money and so it does me what damage it can. The bourgeois press does me damage too and would like to consign me and my movement to the devil.“ — Adolf Hit ler, Hitl er's interview with Richard Breiting, 1931, published in Edouard Calic, ed.
