The management class has grown fat in the US. Layoffs at my company haven’t impacted management AT ALL.

There is something to be said there about power in society, ruling classes, interests and that German dude with the beard

Yes, Hitler was socialist but he taught that hierarchies were inevitable since they are found everywhere in nature. It was called natural law.

You are thinking of the dude with the mustache.

Oops, thanks. I guess Marx was being referenced? I had thought Marx was English but apparently he was German-Jewish[1]

What is this revision of history? Fascism and socialism are incompatible and one of the first persecuted were the communists. Pretty sure the only relation with socialism was the party name. Calling yourself a good person doesn’t make you one

> one of the first persecuted were the communists

Yeah, because communists never get into factionalism and infighting /s

Because as someone wrote me here, the management is the business and the employees are only enforcing the goals of the management.

Sorry, I'm from Germany and when I read that I have to shake my head how short sighted that is.
