    The first mass privatization of state property occurred in Nazi Germany between 1933 and 1937: "It is a fact that the government of the National Socialist Party sold off public ownership in several state-owned firms in the middle of the 1930s. The firms belonged to a wide range of sectors: steel, mining, banking, local public utilities, shipyard, ship-lines, railways, etc. In addition to this, delivery of some public services produced by public administrations prior to the 1930s, especially social services and services related to work, was transferred to the private sector, mainly to several organizations within the Nazi Party."

    Who are you going to believe, the Nazi Party or your own lying eyes?

      But it must be true if Hitler said it in order to get elected, no!? Anyway, I did respond in a similar way, yes. That "nationalization" didn't mean what the word means today

      Anyway, I have a rule of doing one longer reply to Reddit psychos every few weeks and most of them end up like this. Especially those in r/economics are great, since they usually start with "I'm a moderate left-wing Biden voter, but..." and end up with defending some right-wing crazy shit.
