FTA:

“Before Hitler could mobilize resources and support for his Lebensraum-oriented war machine, he first nationalized businesses, turning them from entrepreneurial market ventures to servants of the state. But what does that have to do with us?”

This is false. Hitler worked hand in hand with the barons of industry to tighten his grip on pre-war Germany.

According to the article cited below Hitler did what he could to destroy labor unions as did the Bush/ Cheney administration.

Protecting the public from the excesses of corporations is the duty of the government. The politics of fear will end on January 20th at noon.

“Hitler did not nationalize industry, but he destroyed the labor unions and his finance ministry worked closely with banks and industry. During the war an alternative state economy was created under the SS (headed by Himmler)”
