  I mean they each protected capitalism in their own way:

  FDR, being old money who’d just seen MacArthur send in the tanks to raze a camp of rebellious soldiers and knew how these things tended to go, invested in guillotine insurance via the New Deal.

  Hitler and Mussolini used the other approach, privatizing/selling off state assets and applying colonial methods they’d perfected in Africa back home to buttress capitalism and protect profits.

  I’m not gonna get started on Churchill.

      Hitler sold off nationalized companies to his buddies, and awarded military contracts to Germany’s ultra wealth like Ferdinand Porsche. Literally the first people Hitler killed were his brown shirts, the socialists he utilized to gain power during the Night of the Long Knives. His entire schtick was that he wanted to kill all the slavs to rid Europe of “Cultural bolshevism” and all leftists thought.

      You know literally nothing about history, and actually have your knowledge reversed. You just think “Hitler = bad” and “communism= bad” so “Hitler = communism” I’m sorry to be a dick here, but you are either totally informed and are a moron who is just making shit up to feel smart, or you are intentionally spreading wrong information bevauae you want to associate socialism with fascism to push your own nefarious agenda. I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt and say that your education system failed you.

        Fun fact, the word “privatization” first appeared to describe the policies of the Third Reich.
