@Libertymama888@RealAlexJones Sure, drugs are a problem across the US, the vast southern border will do that. But drugs (and stolen goods) are sold openly on the street in NYC, and Mamdani isn't doing anything about it, that's the point. In fact he has advocated for abolishing the police.
@Libertymama888@RealAlexJones Read your own note Aristotle. It says Austin is a narcotics hub, as in a Democrat controlled city. And it also says drugs are smuggled into Texas because of its long international border. Which nation does Texas border again?
The Nazi economy was socialism in a better-tailored uniform. Strip away the parades and you find exactly what Mises diagnosed in 1940 as Zwangswirtschaft: private ownership on paper, total state control in practice. You held the title to your factory. Göring's ministries told you what to produce, what to charge, whom to hire, and where your profits went. That is ownership the way a prisoner owns his cell.
Hjalmar Schacht ran the monetary con. From 1934 the Reichsbank financed rearmament through Mefo bills, off-books IOUs worth 12 billion Reichsmarks by 1938, hiding the printing press behind a shell company. Berlin froze wages in 1933 and prices in 1936, so the inflation surfaced as shortages and ration cards instead of rising numbers. You have watched the same trick play out in Caracas.
The "economic miracle" in your textbook was conscription plus capital consumption. Unemployment fell because Hitler drafted young men into the Wehrmacht and labor battalions while forcing women out of the workforce. Real wages stagnated below 1929 levels. The 1936 Four Year Plan chased autarky, burning capital on synthetic rubber and gasoline that cost multiples of the world price.
By 1939 the regime faced the choice every inflationist regime faces: liquidate the malinvestments or loot the neighbors. Hitler chose Poland. War was not incidental to this economy. It was the business model.
I bring home a trapped coyote and let it loose in the kitchen.
Hackles up. Teeth bared. Pissing on the floor.
My wife says, "Get it out."
I tell her that is a very unwelcoming and unchristian way to speak about a future house pet.
The children back into the hallway.
I tell them it's a rescue.
I tell them fences are fear.
I tell them cages are barbaric.
I tell them the old rules were cruel.
I tell them it will domesticate in time.
Then I grab my lunchbox and leave them to live with my principles.
When I get home, there is blood on the floor, and the experts who sold me on compassion are already explaining why nobody could have seen this coming.
Anyway, that's Western migration policy.
