Here is the well know motto of socialists.

"From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs "

The Party/government owns the means of production...everything. No private ownership in business to make profits.

That is Karl Marx's description/theory of socialism, free access to and distribution of goods, capital and services.

Hugo Boss Was an Active Nazi Who Produced Uniforms For the Brown Shirts, SS, and Hitler Youth. In 2013, comedian Russell Brand was kicked out of a GQ magazine’s Men of the Year Awards shindig, after cracking jokes about the event’s sponsor, Hugo Boss, and its Nazi ties.

Volkswagen Was Founded by Ferdinand Porsche, and the Cute Beetle Was Hitler’s Dream Car.

BMW’s Owners Were Hitler’s Close Friends. Ever since its founding, Bavarian Motor Works, or BMW, have been known for their high quality luxury automobiles, and until 1945, for their aircraft engines.

Thyssen, Krupp, IG Farben, Bosch, Blaupunkt, Daimler-Benz, Demag, Henschel, Junkers, Messerschmitt, Philips, Siemens and Walther were. all were private industristrialists in business to make a profit. That doesn't exist in socialist societies, communism is a form of socialism btw so ya can't be fooled by the nazi's title for themselves.


May 8, 2019 · Memory of Nazi crimes associated with big business and industrialists was thus relatively short lived within postwar Germany, with many corporations only apologizing to or repatriating Jewish victims years or decades after the atrocities of the Holocaust.
