Even during the World Wars the defence industry wasn’t wholly nationalised.
37% of Rheinmetall’s shares are owned by NA investors, none individually control more than 6%. And no, Rheinmetall wasn’t founded by Nazis. It predates the Nazis by decades, the company was founded in the same year Hitler was born in. And even if it was, why would that matter today? The company is not owned by the people who founded it. It’s not even owned by their descendants (who still would not be the same people).
They are also NOT selling to both sides. I’m not even disputing that they wouldn’t, they might well want to, but they literally can’t. They’re not allowed to and that is enforced.
Ah, because Nazis in Germany magically appeared with Hitlers birth and all magically disappeared when he committed suicide? 🙄
As I already said elsewhere, Rheinmetall itself might not sell, but the profits go to people that can invest them into other businesses that can sell and/or otherwise support fascists regimes around the world.
Rheinmetall was founded in 1889. The NSDAP was founded after the 1st world war. There’s literally no way Nazis founded Rheinmetall because it predates Nazism by about thirty years.
I wasn’t only talking about Rheinmetall, and while the Rheinmetall founder died in 1923, the company went on to be a major part in the Nazi war production.
It’s lemmy.world, people here are mostly liberals, agreeing with you on anything that goes against the system would make their world collapse. I’m happy downvotes don’t mean shit on Lemmy though, because imo you’re right and it’s pretty fucked up how we‘re all being manipulated into hooraying for more war, more arms, more destruction just to make some oligarchs even richer.
For the record, I have no idea when what German arms company got founded but I think that’s nitpicking compared to the fact that fascists will make profit from our governments buying more weapons from these defense companies.
