      German politics and energy consumption aside, I think they have the best base of knowledge for what your proposed economic model has in store for them and their allies. They had that model forced upon them, and fought for change and economic freedom. There was a freaking wall dividing their country over that.

      Don’t shitpost on good discussion please.

                Nazis dogwhistle opposition to the USSR during WW2 Germany, the one time where the USSR was absolutely on the right side of history.

                Literally every time someone goes hard on the anticommunism, they’re just ass-sore that they kicked their asses back in WW2.

                  Nazis dogwhistle opposition to the US during WW2 Germany, the one time where the US was absolutely on the right side of history.

                  Literally every time someone goes hard on the anti-America, they’re just ass-sore that they kicked their asses back in WW2.

                  Well I can take your logic and easily condemn all criticism of America as being Nazi dog whistles.
