From https://mises.org/library/business-under-nazis
It was common in those days, as it is in ours, to identify the Communists as leftist and the Nazis as rightists, as if they stood on opposite ends of the ideological spectrum. But Mises knew differently.
They both sported the same ideological pedigree of socialism . "The German and Russian systems of socialism have in common the fact that the government has full control of the means of production. It decides what shall be produced and how. It allots to each individual a share of consumer's goods for his consumption."
The difference between the systems, wrote Mises, is that the German pattern "maintains private ownership of the means of production and keeps the appearance of ordinary prices, wages, and markets." But in fact the government directs production decisions, curbs entrepreneurship and the labor market, and determines wages and interest rates by central authority. "Market exchange," says Mises, "is only a sham."
Mises's account is confirmed by a remarkable book that appeared in 1939, published by Vanguard Press in New York City (and unfortunately out of print today). It is The Vampire Economy: Doing Business Under Fascism by Guenter Reimann, then a 35-year-old German writer. Through contacts with German business owners, Reimann documented how the "monster machine" of the Nazis crushed the autonomy of the private sector through onerous regulations, harsh inspections, and the threat of confiscatory fines for petty offenses.

From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racial_segregation
Imperial China
Tang dynasty
Several laws which enforced racial segregation of foreigners from Chinese were passed by the Han Chinese during the Tang dynasty.[citation needed] In 779 the Tang dynasty issued an edict which forced Uyghurs to wear their ethnic dress, stopped them from marrying Chinese females, and banned them from pretending to be Chinese.[11] In 836, when Lu Chun was appointed as governor of Canton, he was disgusted to find Chinese living with foreigners and intermarriage between Chinese and foreigners. Lu enforced separation, banning interracial marriages, and made it illegal for foreigners to own property. Lu Chun believed his principles were just and upright.[12] The 836 law specifically banned Chinese from forming relationships with "Dark peoples" or "People of colour", which was used to describe foreigners, such as "Iranians, Sogdians, Arabs, Indians, Malays, Sumatrans", among others.[13][14]

Growth of Government Control of Business
In the meantime, the mechanisms for government control of the economic system had been extended and strengthened. During the banking crisis of 1932, almost all of Germany's large private banks were brought under the control of the Reichsbank. This was even more important in Germany than it would have been elsewhere, because the banks handled a large part of business investment as well as commercial loans, and consequently were in a position of very great influence in German industry. In this same period, the percentage of German national income which went to the state in one form of taxes or another was also increased, adding to the direct importance of the state in the economic life of the nation.
The result, according to Stolper, was that:
When it came to its end, the democratic Republic left as a heritage to the National Socialist state an economic system that corresponded rather closely to a complete system of “State Socialism.” The state was, so to speak, in command of the whole blood circulation as represented in a modern economic system by the banking mechanism. The state held in its grip the most important “commanding heights” over business, such as the transportation system, the power supply, and the influence over cartel prices. The state had, furthermore, taken over vital functions of the trade unions and the employers' organizations. …
The road to the totalitarian state had teen well laid out. The National Socialist government needed but to utilize for its own aims the instruments of state power forged by its predecessors.3
This observation is confirmed by Fritz Ermarth, who writes, “When the National Socialists seized power in Germany early in 1938, the German national economy was under Government control to a wider extent than ever before during peacetime.”4 In addition to the railroads, telegraph and telephone lines, which had long been state-owned, the Reich had invested government funds directly in the German steel cartel, in a moving picture company, in numerous construction enterprises, and in other “private” businesses.

@personaa422 Since your left-right political spectrum arguments are US-centric
Trump's immigration arguments are already implemented in Australia/New Zealand FOR MANY YEARS.;
1. Limit queue jumpers
2. Limit birth tourism
3. Limit high potential "public charge" immigration
4. Points score system
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jus_soli#/media/File:Jus_soli_world.svg
The majority of the world restricts limits birth tourism.
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Points-based_immigration_system
Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the United Kingdom implements the points-based immigration system.
PS; I do support the CANZUK initiative as a geopolitical/geo-economic alternative to the US model. CANZUK countries have universal health care while maintaining superior economic freedoms index scores (when compared to the US). Refer to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Index_of_Economic_Freedom#2021_Index
Rankings for Index of Economic Freedom for 2021.
New Zealand = 2nd
Australia = 3rd
United Kingdom = 7th
Canada = 9th
United States = 20th. LOL HAHAHAH
My support for the CANZUK initiative recognise the fact that economies of scale issues for Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom are not in the critical mass.
>The democrats, as a party, continually bend to republican desires.
That's BS, Democratic party has the control over House of Representatives, Senate, and President.
George Floyd's debacle is under the Democratic party-run state and mayoral level for MANY years. Keep voting the same shit = continual shit results.
In Australia, we threw out pro-GOP IR (Industrial Relations) Howard government in a large landslide. PM John Howard lost his seat even in his "rich" political seat. The large landslide against the Howard government purged out pro-GOP IR (Industrial Relation) in the Liberal-National parties. The majority of Australians don't tolerate GOP-style IR, we threw them out in the landslide.
More than 70% of IOC member countries have rejected the Democratic party's racist BLM bullshit.

@brucetucker4847 Bible OT mentioned racism between Egyptians and children of Israel i.e. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus+1&version=NIV
Exodus 1
6 Now Joseph and all his brothers and all that generation died,
7 but the Israelites were exceedingly fruitful; they multiplied greatly, increased in numbers and became so numerous that the land was filled with them.
8 Then a new king, to whom Joseph meant nothing, came to power in Egypt.
9 “Look,” he said to his people, “the Israelites have become far too numerous for us.
10 Come, we must deal shrewdly with them or they will become even more numerous and, if war breaks out, will join our enemies, fight against us and leave the country.”
11 So they put slave masters over them to oppress them with forced labor, and they built Pithom and Rameses as store cities for Pharaoh.
12 But the more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied and spread; so the Egyptians came to dread the Israelites
13 and worked them ruthlessly.
14 They made their lives bitter with harsh labor in brick and mortar and with all kinds of work in the fields; in all their harsh labor the Egyptians worked them ruthlessly.

Kublai instituted social classes based on race.
https://www.travelchinaguide.com/intro/history/yuan/four-class-system.htm
The 'Four Class System' was a legal caste system in the Yuan Dynasty. After the founding of the Yuan regime, Kublai Khan, the first emperor in the Yuan Dynasty, set up this system to consolidate the ruling status of the Mongolian Ethnic Minority, which had a small number with great disparity to the majority Han people.
Specifically, the four classes of people by the descending order were Mongolian people, Semu people, Han people (in the northern areas of China) and Southerners (people of the former Northern Song Dynasty (1127 - 1279)). According to the Yuan rulers' mind, the grading sequence was based on the sequencing of Mongolian's conquest of these people. Some historical scholars said that it was a kind of psychological indication that the earlier they submitted to Mongolian people, the higher social status they would be.
Unfairly, the 'Four Class System' stipulated that four classes of people received different treatment in political, legal and military affairs. First, the real power was mainly grasped in the hands of the Mongolian people and Semu people while few of the court officials were Han people or any other ethnic minorities from the third and the fourth classes. Second, although all classes of people were allowed to attend the imperial examination, people of the third and fourth classes had to participate in more test subjects and exam questions that for them were more difficult, compared with the first and second class. Third, the fourth class people received unequal legal treatment. On committing the same crime, different punishments were handed down to different classes of people. Fourth, the Mongolian people adopted a tight control towards the Han people and Southerners. These two classes were forbidden to possess any weapon or raise any dogs or eagles.
Generally, the 'Four Class System' was a national policy of political oppression and ethnic division. Originally, it was established by Yuan's ruling class to guarantee the dominance of the Mongolian minority but it eventually became the catalyst that sped up the decline of the Yuan regime.

@tomogburn2462
From independent.co.uk/news/long_reads/nhs-70-formed-florence-nightingale-century-free-healthcare-a8429346.html
Finally, Sir Winston Churchill, speaking as prime minister in the spring of 1944, affirmed that it was the policy of the government to establish a national health service that would make accessible to all, irrespective of social class or means, adequate and modern social care. The high and rising cost of medical care was the key consideration. Healthcare shouldn’t be rationed by price.
As we celebrate the 70th anniversary of the NHS, that is the key achievement. By contrast, this gruesome story has just arrived from across the Atlantic. A tweet from the New York subway system describes “an awful scene”. A woman’s leg got stuck in the gap between the train and the platform. It was twisted and bloody. Skin came off. She’s in agony and weeping. Just as upsetting she begged no one call an ambulance. “It’s $3,000,” she wailed. “I can’t afford that.” That’s why we have the National Health Service.

The missing component for Australia, United Kingdom, Canada, and New Zealand is the economy of scale, hence why I support the CANZUK initiative and the alternative to the USA's crony capitalism.
