It's OK to Be White
You are fighting tooth and nail to EVADE the central planning and control. Whether there was some independent ownership is not relevant. Was there State control and planning of the industries?
The simple answer is no. Nearly all of the industries were allowed to run themselves as they wanted.
Did the state have the power to force regulations much like we have in America? Sure. But that's not the same as the state being in control of industry. The bottom line is that even if they could have nationalized all industry, which we agree they could have, they did not.
This wasn't Socialism by any stretch unless you're using the Fox News definition.
Again, I gave you two in-depth studies on the Nazi German economy. You're repeating incorrect information with no sources, while I'm giving you sources.
Yes you did. Please note the quotation marks:
"The Great Depression spurred State ownership in Western capitalist countries. Germany was no exception; the last governments of the Weimar Republic took over firms in diverse sectors. Later, the Nazi regime transferred public ownership and public services to the private sector. In doing so, they went against the mainstream trends in the Western capitalist countries, none of which systematically reprivatized firms during the 1930s. Privatization in Nazi Germany was also unique in transferring to private hands the delivery of public services previously provided by government."
You quoted this while we were discussing Marx's socialism, but Marx did not write this. Every quote I have given you has come directly from Marx.
This was a quote from one of the studies, which I guess you didn't even look at.
If I tell you that it's raining outside my window right now, who are you to tell me that it isn't? I am not trying to convince you that Wikipedia is run by Marxists; you are trying to convince me that it is not. Since you acknowledge that you know nothing of the Wikipedia staff then you shouldn't be trying to convince me that my personal experience is somehow flawed.
So basically, you're making a claim that you have no way of backing up.
I wish I didn't still have to say this, but if you make a claim, the burden of proof is on you.
