Stars are really cool. I'm glad I live in an area that doesn't have much like pollution and I can see constellations with the naked eye.
Also, not sure why you used a screenshot of Kira Yoshikage, but I appreciate it
This is why we need to go back to personally-curated site directories

Mid 30s myself. From my experience, in Hexbear at least, we tend to skew millennial and older, though there are a couple zoomer posters. I know there are quite a few Gen-X and Boomers here too.
Again, if you have evidence to the contrary, you can contact the author of the research paper, or you can submit your findings to a peer-reviewed academic journal. Here are some further academic sources that also support the claim that the Nazi economy was heavily engaged in privatization, and some relevant quotes:
"After the 1931 banking crisis the survival of the four German great banks was safeguarded only by a huge injection of taxpayers’ money. In return, the great banks were partly nationalized and the two worst affected, the Dresdner Bank and the Danat Bank, were merged. Re-privatization was, however, started only a few years later and finalized under Nazi rule in 1937."

"There occurred hardly any nationalizations of private firms during the Third Reich. In addition, there were few enterprises newly created as state-run firms."
"The foregoing discussion is clearly corroborated by an analysis of Nazi intentions. Available sources make perfectly clear that the Nazi regime did not want at all a German economy with public ownership of many or all enterprises. Therefore it generally had no intention whatsoever of nationalizing private firms or creating state firms. On the contrary the re-privatization of enterprises was furthered wherever possible."

Thanks for the reply; I'm not all that well-versed on the subject, so I definitely need to read more about it!
Wasn't fascist corporatism basically inspired by functionalism? I vaguely remember reading about how Durkheim rejected materialism and class conflict in favor of a form of corporatism.
Correct. Because the Nazi economy was called 'privatization.'
If you wish to argue against the author's findings, you can contact gbel@ub.edu.
In other words, the Nazis specifically took certain businesses that were formerly nationalized and then privatized them.
