The word "privatisation" was coined to describe the actions of Nazi Germany's government in the 1930s.
There's even a famous political cartoon of Hitler emphasizing the words Socialist and Workers for one crowd (blue collar) and National and German for the other (aristocrats). A more sophisticated quip might have been "what about National Bolshevists?" (aka "nazbols") but the short answer to that too is that if you try and add some red to your brown, it's still just another brown.
