Did you know? ”Privatisation” is a word invented by the German Nazi party, for their policy of selling off public assets and those seized from political enemies to new owners of proper aryan descent? 🤔

@gimulnautti business is cruel in the way that what it sees that influence can make people kill each other, it can probably also used to make money 🤷

@jarkko That's what both Mussolini and Hitler delivered. They were only command economies for a brief moment within the deepest few years of WW2. Business is a great way to deliver cruelty and call it success. “Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." -- Il Duce, aka Benito Mussolini

@jarkko Not so different that's going on in USA today. Trump and his cadre are picking the winners and losers in business, very much like Mussolini's Fascists and the Nazi Party were.

@jarkko I think this sort of thing was going on in the Bonaparte regime earlier, actually. A lot of insider trading, shady business schemes, and the goons on the streets. Mussolini just probably gave it a name.
