    You’re wrong. I’m not going to elaborate any further because i feel you have taken the discussion to gross and unconscionable place.

    You seem to care more about the violation of “free markets” that don’t and have never existed, than the pointless eradication of millions of human lives.

      I don’t care about free markets. I’m just noting that tyranny and oppression come from more than just free markets. In some cases, tyranny via fascism comes from a promise to put free markets under state control.

        That is just wildly incorrect. Fascism does not make the promise to put free markets under state control, more importantly, none of the fascist societies put free markets under state control.

          It does when the politics of the situation suits it. This is how Mussolini made the trains run on time. And as I said before, the Nazis exerted state control over local businesses by taking away some businesses from Jews and giving them to loyal Aryans. State control over the economy is exerted, just not to the benefit of everyone.
