Hitler killed millions of Jews. His reason was that they were Capitalists

https://www.ft.com/content/1025021c-bd0e-11e9-9381-78bab8a70848

"According to Hitler, the Jews were after world dominance. And they would not hesitate to use all possible means, including capitalism. In this way, Hitler took advantage of the existing prejudice that linked the Jews to monetary power and financial gain."

Hello:

IF the Nazis were socialists, as you infer, WHY did they MURDER 27,000,000 fellow Russian socialists??

Seriously.

My interpretation of Hitler's irrational and spiteful hatred of Jews was that they were the undisputed champions in all the fields of the free market.

They excelled and dominated most business sectors in Germany, from domestic and international banking/finance to the back Street pawnshop.

Generally speaking, Jews are hyper successful businessmen because they have a strong work ethic, an uncanny congenital business acumen combined with a rare ability and drive to gain the knowledge and skill necessary to succeed in their chosen field of business.

Also, and as everyone knows Hitler used the Jews to create a common enemy against whom the rest of German nation could unite to push against the demonized enemy within.

The Jews were, and to a lesser extent still are victims of their own success.

Aye, the free market. Is that the free market I can't compete in because I don't have enough money, or a different one?

Yes, it's that very same free market which is there for anyone with ambition, ability and a burning desire to succeed to avail of.

If like 100s of 1000s of other budding entrepreneurs you are short on start-up capital but have a good business idea you should make appointments with as many business banks as is necessary to secure whatever funding, or close to the finance you need.

A good bank manager will be able to judge you as a person of substance and evaluate your business plan.

So, to start with you must have a particular project in mind.

Then you need to research it thoroughly.

After this you should complete a 12 month projection OF ALL initial capital expenditures along with on going fixed and variable overheads.

The interesting part follows when you will produce your projected sales figures from which you will deduct the aforementioned outgoings.

That's what banks are there for as they make their money through people like you and me who will repay whatever loans they have advanced us WITH INTEREST.

That's what makes the world go around.

Hello hater/nom:

Oh, you COULD participate in it, if you wanted to. It runs on OPM - other peoples money. And, you could get some, if you wanted to.

Or, you can snivel.

Bronto, you are one of these deeply disturbed pathological liars who literally cannot tell the truth about anything. Every single word which ever comes out of your mouth is a gross and purposeful distortion of factual reality.
