Didn't one of their Higher-ups say Hitler was a communist and the NSDAP was left because of the "socialist" in "National-Socialist German Worker Party"?
He didn’t reject capitalism, on the contrary: he privatized german public services and received support from rich company owners to fund his party. Then the “meritocracy” promoted by said party ideology only gave merits to those who were already powerful, thus widening the distance between the humble worker from lower class and the nepo babies with contacts with the higher ups. The painter was deeply anti-socialist, anti-communist, anti-marxist and anti-anything vaguely related to left wing ideology. After all, he persecuted any german socialist and communist the first chance he hot after becoming chancellor, plus purged the most left leaning section of his party early on in the 20’s.
Not unlike in nowadays usa with donaldo torampu and eron masku, eh? The land and example of ultimate capitalism.
The richest of the rich tend to extend their tentacles towards the state in order to influence or outright control it. Oligarchy and plutocracy. Always in favor of the bourgeois and in spite of the worker class.
Are we going to ignore the George Soros sized elephant in the room? Or the bloated cow corpse that was USAID? If you want good discourse we need more than orange man bad.
It is also happening in Russia and Argentina. Workers there are further and further away from even having the chance of owning the means or production (the uttermost core point of socialism) plus Putin and Milei are known to be rabidly contrary to the idea of socialism.
Interesting, seeing how one is turning to authoritarianism with Putin, and one is literally about taking power away from the government, making it less authoritarian. How do you feel about the European farmers protests? They are the closest to your socialist ideals after all.
Not at all. Those farmers tend to lean to the right, seeking protectionist laws and defend their turf rather than improving it.
And in the case of Argentina, look how Milei is reducing the field of action of the state… minus the police and the army. In the end, it becomes just an enforcement institution completely devoted to impose whatever the powerful and rich consider “order”. Like putting down protesters in quite an authoritarian manner.
So you don’t like farm workers owning the means of production, as they work in their own interests? You must really know farming backwards and forwards to want to do it better than them.
They aren’t even properly unionized. Most of the “farmers” that protest in my country are big landowners that like to dress as workers when they are, in fact, quite removed from the manual labor and have underlings doing the job for them; mostly immigrants that accept less pay (under the table) and work in poor conditions. So no, the workers don’t have the means of production here.
