From a 1939 book called The VAMPIRE ECONOMY-Doing Business Under Fascism written by a German.
You have no idea how far state control goes and how much power the Nazi representatives have over our work. The worst of it is that they are so ignorant. These Nazi radicals think of nothing except distributing the wealth. Some businessmen have even started studying Marxist theories, so that they will have a better understanding of the present economic system.
While state representatives are busily engaged in investigating and interfering, our agents and salesmen are handicapped because they never know whether or not a sale at a higher price will mean denunciation as a profiteer or saboteur, followed by a prison sentence. You cannot imagine how taxation has increased. Yet everyone is afraid to complain.
Everywhere there is a growing undercurrent of bitterness. Everyone has his doubts about the system, unless he is very young, very stupid, or is bound to it by the privileges he enjoys.
Redistributing wealth and Nazism. Like fever and infection.
Hmm. And all this time I thought the Nazis were right-wing capitalist extremists.
