    ironically like with the Nazis, the capitalists who are pushing this shit, do so because they have a very real chance of being the state, it is not highly state controlled, because fascism is a modern day barbarism, the state just being an organizational cover and legitimization of an elite aristocracy to do what they want.

    remember when the Nazis took power they privatized almost all public works of the Weimar, and privatized it into their own ownership.

      If you have corrupt and all-powerful state leaders, in my opinion it doesn’t matter much whether all the companies are privatized into the leader’s ownership or owned by a state they control with their absolute power.

      Hitler and Stalin had about the same level of control about important industries in their respective systems.

        just saw this while going through old backlogs

        1. Hitler did in fact not have the same control of industry that Stalin had.
        2. even the Soviet Union didn’t consider it’s self communist, but rather as an industrializing middleman to create the capital needed to achieve communism, look up vanguard party theory.
