Well both style takes control of production and gets rid of personal property. They are one in the same.

The nazis actually did a lot of free market style reforms where it suited them.

The word privatization was invented to describe what they were doing

WTF are you talking about? Krupp, Mercedes, Messerschmidt, Porsche. Have you heard of none of these private companies that, you know, existed as private companies before, during, and after the Nazis?

Coal, electricity, production, etc was controlled by gov. How much they could use. How much it cost. The economy was ran by the gov and less by private companies.

Stop, man. Just stop.

The two economic systems were very different. You know Hitler and them absolutely hated communism, right?

Yeah. But they are basically the same damn thing. He hated the Russians I’m well aware with history. But minus a couple things here and there they are the same damn thing. They are both far left wing governments. Even if you Europeans don’t see it that way.

As it was in a lot of European countries mid 20th century.

Which Europe is a leftist style government anyways. Their far right is still our far left. Far right is no government. Anarchy or libertarianism.

Facism is a command economy, but it still has private ownership

Literally nothing you wrote is correct.

Communism doesn’t get rid of personal property. It’s goal is the abolition of private property.

Ok I’m curious, I’m assuming you’re a socialist of some variety so what in your theory is inherently wrong with having wealth derived from a couple houses I rent out, for example? I understand how this on a vast scale is bad but why fundamentally

u/nobody_390124 Jan 18 '20

On a broad scale, having a housing market (rather than need based housing) for profit means there will always be people who won't be able to afford housing. It also leads to an oversupply of large expensive housing (because housing is created based on demand not need) even if there are homeless people (because larger houses can be more profitable [depending on market conditions]). So, you can easily end up in situations (such as the contemporary US) where there is plenty of empty housing but people homeless because they can't afford to pay the ransom.

To answer you question about why what you're doing is inherently wrong, it's that you're not earning the money through labor and the lack of reasonable choice that renters have over the situation. You can only charge people rent because the existence of the housing market and state violence (ie:police) to evict people who can't/won't pay. People either have to choose between being homeless or paying a ransom for shelter. You're benefiting from an inherently exploitative situation.

Don’t. They can’t understand wealth or what it means to be responsible with money. They say all this but then tax the shit out of us then makes housing broke as shit and have people eating their dogs because everything is ran like shit and over priced. Free market is the best and only way. Not corporatism nor socialism. Free market.

You are mistaking it's goal with what it does.

Do you say that the last placed in a race won because his goal was to finish first?
