yea I know. it's always the same source, the propaganda from the think tanks.
The author doesn't even provide bibliographic references. why to worry?
"But what specifically established de facto socialism in Nazi Germany was the introduction of price and wage controls in 1936."
this is anti liberal, but not socialist. the author states that this kind of control makes the state "owner" of the means of production. this is a lie. corporations did not hand over their profits to the government. it's easy to fall into traps if you don't know the concepts.
I stick to the Encyclopedia Britannica, the historians, the Academy, my decades of studies.
It's not exactly a choice like fruit juice or soda: "I choose to consume this one!"
Deutsche Welle has recently published series of articles to belie this wave of fake news from think tanks. Highly recommended.
btw do you know what is really amazing about these think tanks? this part:
"Mises Institute is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Contributions are tax-deductible to the full extent the law allows. Tax ID# 52-1263436"
Billionaries "donate" to this cause (their own cause) and get tax breaks. They deliver you propaganda for their cause and indirectly YOU PAY for it. When money is lacking for universal medicare, for example. It's being spent at the golf club of those who delivered you this article.
