As long as the new working class can adequately carry out their jobs,
and buy the consumer goods that Nazi-style marketing techniques
brainwash them into believing they must possess, turbo-capitalism is
content.

Mmmm. Yes. I can see the truth of this analogy. That bird with the loopy grin dancing around with the Shake N’ Vac really is exactly the same as Kinder, Kirche und Kuchen, the four eyed git singing of the joys of mortgages and consumer credit is exactly the same as Arbeit Macht Frei.

And will lead to exactly the same results, of course, the attempted enslavement of Europe and the eradication of all untermenschen.

    Tim,
    “And will lead to exactly the same results, of course, the attempted enslavement of Europe and the eradication of all untermenschen.”
    All depends on whether one believes in the optimal social model being cultural or transactional.
    In our current transactional society, we’re pretty all much untermenschen already.
    Read Soros, ‘The Crisis of Global Capitalism’.

    Martin,
    Hitler’s Germany was a cultural society.
    I’m sure it was a nice place apart from the slavery, death camps, labour camps, eugenics, murder, racism, lack of democracy, politicsation of the rule of law, the authoritarian dictatorship and the wars.

    AntiCitizenOne,
    If you are trying to patronise me, I’m not biting.
    Hitler’s Germany was one type of cultural society – actually, one of the reasons it came into existence was our failure to understand German culture. The Germans of that era were intensely monarchical. If the Kaiser hadn’t been booted out then there would have been no vacuum in Germa culture for Hitler to fill; and he might not even have done that had the intensely transactional 1920’s not brought the nation to its knees.
    His rise was as much a consequence of British, French and American cultural ignorance as anything to do with German culture. You will recall that Hirohito was not removed in 1945. MacArthur, being quite a keen student of history, was not going to make the same Wilsonian mistake twice.
    And Washington’s America, Richelieu’s France and Peter the Great’s Russia were also all cultural societies; and you know, in a lot of respects they weren’t really that bad.
    So your point was…?
    That you actually believe that anyone who disagrees with you actually wishes to re-establish the Third Reich? Do you really think that?
    You should get out more.
    Or grow up.
