It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

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.

I liked the part where , unprompted and completely out of the blue they called you a pedo. Incredible projection

Communist pedo is the modern way of saying "judeo bolshevik".

Ah ha, I have done a clever. See, nazis say thing and communists did thing. That means they are the exact same. Please ignore all differences, or that the nazis lied through their teeth constantly.

Lol, if you check the etymology of privatization on Wikipedia

The term reprivatization, again translated directly from German (Reprivatisierung), was used frequently in the mid-1930s as The Economist reported on Nazi Germany's sale of nationalized banks back to public shareholders following the 1931 economic crisis.[8]

Why would you believe nazis about what they say about themselves?

I'm not a Nazi, but I know all of the details of their policies.

I mean, I heard about Nazis, and while I don't agree with the ethnic cleansing, I just had to know what their tax policies looked like.

Weren’t skme of Hitler’s top brass afraid of being seen as woke communists because of all the appropriated language, and Hitler got irritated because they weren’t able to see that it was the entire point?
