The truth of the matter is that US big business and some very wealthy people all supported Hilter and fascism

@ZoidbergForPresident @SaanichGuy @bitboxer @fenkt @MrLaCave it would really be great at this point in time to have a more lucid and intricate analysis of fascism than this

@pleadthefif @SaanichGuy @bitboxer @fenkt @MrLaCave History showed that already. And is currently repeating itself. Wake up.

@linchiao @pleadthefif @SaanichGuy @bitboxer @fenkt @MrLaCave That's so insulting to cavemen actually... XP

Liberalism is the road to fascism and neoliberalism is the motorway equivalent?

@zooropa

If you read the black American writers (and musicians) - Wright, Baldwin, etc - that washed up in Paris after the war, the experience they describe is escape from the burden of US systemic prejudice and discrimination. Baldwin was also gay. They spent a lot of time with Sartre and DeBeauvoir - and at the First International Congress of Negro Writers & Artists in Paris in 1956 Wright was the only speaker to complain about the near absence of black women writers. There were very direct, personal lines from the post-war experience of liberation in Europe to the black civil rights, 'women's lib' and gay liberation movements in the US in the 60s.

@MrLaCave @floe @bitboxer good. Wait til you read about Hugo Boss, Mercedes, Bayer and Fanta!

@wonofone @MrLaCave @floe @bitboxer Those I knew already, IBM was indeed new to me. In general all Ultra Rich in Germany have a dark history #taxtherich

Because of technicians having a big role in keeping the concentration camps open and the selection for killing, after the war the VDI set up the engineer's creed (Bekenntnis des Ingenieurs).

Coca-Cola GmbH couldn't get the ingredients for Coca Cola because of trade embargoes so they invented Fanta.

And they provided the tech support for those machines, so when the nazis wanted to know stuff like: can we create a category for say; religion

They where the ones that explained how.

Also they continued to supply parts for those machines even after the US entered the war via a subsidiary company in switzerland.

@csgraves @MrLaCave @bitboxer No, in Germany we learned only about IG Farben and the big Car Companies like BMW which provided Armoury https://troet.cafe/@MrLaCave/114025453259063340

@MrLaCave @bitboxer it's so insanely depressing, but it also drives home the point: Captialism is NOT our friend. Ugly, ruthless, and always in bed with nazis.
