    The difference is we didn’t whine about being left a destroyed planet after the war. People gave their lives back then. Now they complain about prices.

      You’re right, instead of just complaining, we should be risking our lives in revolution against the capitalists who dragged us into two world wars and are now squeezing us for every cent, destroying the planet, and telling us to procreate for their own good.

          Hitler was a capitalist. Fascism is what capitalists when they are threatened by rising worker power and/or reduced rates of profits. The other capitalists fought him because he was disrupting their profits, but in many ways the entire war started because socialist movements were disrupting global imperialism.

            Was Hitler a Capitalist? Nazi economic policy was neither free-market capitalism nor state socialism; it was a totalitarian command economy. State Supremacy: Private enterprise and property technically existed, but business owners were strictly subordinated to state control. The regime set prices, wages, production quotas, and dividends. Ideology over Profit: Capitalists who cooperated made profits, but those who resisted were ousted or nationalized. The economy was driven entirely by state rearmament and racial/ideological goals, not free-market forces.

              Capitalism isn’t “free markets”, capitalism is private ownership of the means of production. The Nazi leadership were all members of the capitalist class who took direct control of the state to consolidate power and steal wealth from other capitalists and the working class. Those who were not in the in-group were “nationalized,” but control of and profit from those nationalized businesses went to loyal capitalists in the Nazi party.

                Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power.

      And then you lead-poisoned fox news boomers voted a pedophilic fascist into the white house. This isn’t even a “don’t throw stones from glass houses” situation, your house is made from tissue paper.
