   This is funny, but there's a legitimate argument for this within libertarian ideology. Subjective Theory Of Value can account for artificial scarcity driving wages up, although libertarian would opposed government protection of the right to organize or forced requirements for membership. The individual, the smallest minority, can choose to align with others voluntarily to accomplish whatever else. Arguing with these people is exhausting because they have their own definitions for everything and it's tangents that constantly break you away from your point.

     @d0c40r0 @alex @Victor_Emmanuel Considering the rest of the world had breadlines and a major depression, it sounds like they sort of won out. Have you read "Hitler's Revolution" by Richard Tedor? He goes into a lot of the inner workings of various societal things from a high level perspective and explains context leading to them.

     Two days after becoming chancellor, Hitler outlined his economic program in a national radio address: “Within four years, the German farmer must be rescued from poverty. Within four years, unemployment must be finally overcome."17 The government enacted laws based on the strategy conceived by Fritz Reinhardt, a state secretary in the Reich’s Ministry of Finance. This unassuming, pragmatic economist introduced a national program to create jobs on the premise that it is better to pay people to work than to award them jobless benefits. The Labor Procurement Law of June 1, 1933, allotted RM 1 billion to finance construction projects nationwide. It focused on repair or remodeling of public buildings, business structures, residential housing and farms, construction of subdivisions and farming communities, regulating waterways, and building gas and electrical works. Men who had been out of work the longest or who were fathers of large families received preference in hiring. None were allowed to work more than 40 hours per week. The law stipulated that German construction materials be used.18

     @BowsacNoodle @alex “if your ideology has never actually existed, then how do you know it works?”

     @Victor_Emmanuel @alex They just say "It's not real capitalism, it's corporatism". Okay goofus, tell me why that distinction matters and how that claim is any different from what antifa trannies say about Communism? If you don't put the dignity (think early 20th century connotation of the word dignity) and success of people first in whatever ideology you use, you will end up creating a system that's very successful at whatever your other goal is and people will be an afterthought.

     Good working hours? With good wages? You don't even need interview? What the hell I want to go back now.
