You’re right, thanks for the correction.
“he Fascists differed from the socialists and state socialists in that the socialists demanded ownership of the means of production, whereas the Fascists only demanded control over the means of production.’
The German fascists established a vast network of Nazi functionairies, on both the state and local level, that would instruct private businesses on how to manufacture or provide services. The primary tenet involved running your business for the good of the state, as defined by the state. Problems arose because the Nazi functionairies might change their minds frequently, thus, the rules to run a business might change from day to day and even hour by hour.
This caused great confusion in the business community and owners set out to study Marxist doctrines in order to try to understand the blizzard of confusing and conflicting tenets and edicts. It was a matter of life and death for a business owner because these functionaries could shut down a business for not carrying out the state’s orders.
This subject is covered in the book titled “The Vampire Economy.”
I was in Singapore and Malaysia and the head of the company we were visiting had a Buddhist decal on his Mercedes that was the swastika inverted exactly like the statue. He took us to a buffet lunch at a very fancy golf resort and it may have just been his parking or membership decal for one of the clubs, maybe not that one, I couldn’t read it.
