Finding out that the Nazis privatized industry at a time in which such a thing was unheard of until decades later with neoliberalism has had my brain on fire. I already knew fascism was capitalist but this is the most capitalist.

as mussolini himself said corporatism is more accurate name for fascism.

“No other country in the world would privatize its public works until the Nazis in Germany did it between 1934 and 1937, a rhetorically useful factoid if ever you are caught in a discussion with someone claiming that the Nazis were socialists.”  https://thebaffler.com/salvos/everything-must-go-wimbish

“When I decided to hit Bush with the shoe, it was a natural reaction, to the killing of a million of my people, the orphaning of five million children, resulting in tens of thousands of handicapped persons, tens of thousands of prisoners in American jails in Iraq, and the everyday scandals caused by the American occupation: rape, Abu Ghraib prison, bringing down roofs on people’s heads with Apache helicopters and F16 planes. Despite all this, Bush was saying the Iraqi people are happy, and the Americans liberated the Iraqi people.”

In a stunning revelation that has sent shockwaves through Israel, journalist Ariel Shimon has been expelled from the prominent “Yedioth Ahronoth” newspaper for exposing undisclosed facts related to the ongoing conflict in Gaza. Shimon’s revelations question the transparency of the Israeli government’s communication regarding the true extent of casualties and losses in the Battle of al-Bariyya.
According to Shimon’s exclusive report, the official figures released by the Israeli government significantly downplay the actual toll of the conflict. He asserts that the real number of casualties and losses is three times higher than officially acknowledged.
Shimon claims that since the onset of the conflict, more than 250 soldiers and officers have been rendered 100% blind, a grim statistic not disclosed to the public. Additionally, over 500 military vehicles, including tanks, armored vehicles, bulldozers, and Hummers, were reportedly completely destroyed. Partial damage was inflicted on a considerable number of other vehicles involved in the operation.
The journalist further alleges that the number of injured soldiers surpasses the official count, with 7,000 individuals affected, including 3,700 who are now permanently disabled. Most shockingly, Shimon claims that the actual death toll among Israeli soldiers and officers stands at a staggering 3,850, describing it as an unprecedented massacre in history.
Furthermore, Shimon suggests that the Israeli military’s ability to continue the conflict is only sustained through American support. He highlights the vulnerability of Israel’s military capabilities, emphasizing that the U.S. backing is crucial, even if it appears to be waning. Shimon concludes by asserting that the capture of Al-Aqsa has returned to the Muslims, signaling a perceived decline in the State of Israel’s influence.

Why Scotland needs independence now.

Scotland’s Parliament overruled by a government that Scotland didn’t vote for.

Just unbelievably frustrating.
