Sounds familiarā¦
The New York Times expressed astonishment that Hugenberg, an āarch-capitalistā who stood āin strongest discord with economic doctrines of the Nazi movement,ā was suddenly in charge of the countryās finances. Hitlerās āsocialist maskā had fallen, the Communist daily Red Banner proclaimed, arguing that āHugenberg is in charge, not Hitler!ā The weekly journal Die WeltbĆ¼hne dubbed the new government āHitler, Hugenberg & Co.ā
As self-proclaimed āeconomic dictator,ā Hugenberg kept pace with Hitler in outraging political opponents and much of the public. He purged ministries. He dismantled workersā rights. He lowered the wages of his own employees by 10 percent.
Hugenberg didnāt care about bad press. He was accustomed to being one of the most unpopular personalities in the country.
we been warning about this for 10 years. the trump-hitler comps were not hyperbolic, no matter how many times you read it was fear mongering. we here in a really bad, really dangerous situation. the world needs to be ready for the things to come because things are about to get grim.
Iirc one of his wives reported him having a copy of Hitlerās speeches on his nightstand.
