Racial Consciousness (@Nature_and_Race)

Serious effort post. Everything I've ever learned about the inner workings of the Reich, including it's economic policies and practices, were told to me by men who actually lived in, and fought for the Reich. And while it's great to have firsthand information, it's not great when it comes to being challenged on sources. When demands are made to cite my sources, they're almost always immediately rejected when I say that I was taught these things by real life friends, rather than by published books or articles. There has not been a great deal written about NS economics by actual Reich economists. And if anything was ever written down in article or book format, it doesn't seem to have been translated into English yet. What little actually has been written about NS economics has been written long after the fall of the Reich, and usually written by figures who are blatantly anti-NS. But I can tell you what little I was told by my Waffen SS and Hitler Youth friends (whom I met in America in the early 2000's when I was still a teenager). *** Let us begin... So, after the conclusion of WWI, Germany's economy was decimated. The downright terrorist Versailles Treaty demanded a sum of gold from Germany each year that was more than half of all gold in circulation on the entire planet at the time. An impossible sum. This led to the complete depletion of Germany's gold reserves, and then to catastrophic inflation due to being forced to print an incomprehensible amount of paper money each day. (At one point it was costing the average German citizen literally multiple trillions of dollars just to buy a carton of eggs, loaf of bread, and bottle of milk). So when Hitler took over and installed the National Socialist government, they were forced to completely overhaul the German economy - a complete destruction of the old, and a complete rebuilding of the new, from the ground up. Hitler immediately terminated the illegitimate Versailles Treaty, and told France to go fuck themselves (rightfully so). But Germany had no gold, so they lacked an international currency. So the solution was simple: print a currency that only had value from one German to another, so that Germans could do business with their own people, and thus kickstart the new German economy. (Interestingly enough, this same economic format was used by the ancient Spartans. In ancient Sparta, gold and silver were made illegal, completely outlawed, as they were the source of degeneracy in Sparta - prostitutes, gamblers, criminals, and crooks all follow international currency, so in order to eliminate criminality, you must first eliminate its source. Once the gold and silver left Sparta, so did the international thieves and prostitutes. Lycurgus, the founder and first king of Sparta, then instituted a currency that had no international value, but had value from one Spartan to another - a shitty cast iron coin, quenched in vinegar, that literally rusted in their pockets. And that's how Sparta maintained a powerful internal economy, while completely eliminating international crooks from their homeland.) Hitler actually implemented a rather genius idea: instead of the gold backed currency (or oil backed currency of the modern world), he invented the labor backed currency. He came up with a large number of public works projects, estimated their cost in manhours, and then printed money accordingly. For example: Hitler had a vision of rocketing Germany into the forefront of civilization, he wanted every German to have a car (an unheard of concept in any country anywhere in the world in 1933). And since every German was going to own a car, they needed a lot of highway to drive them on. He then envisioned a highway system that stretched from one end of Germany to the other, the famous Reichsautobahn highway. (The Reichsautobahn became the inspiration and model for America's famous interstate highway system). The autobahn was estimate to cost roughly four-billion dollars to produce, and so the German government got to work printing that four-billion dollars so they could pay the laborers a generous wage, which they then used to feed and clothe and house their families. And thus the German economy was reborn. As for the issue of international commerce, Hitler implemented an ingenious system - a system based on the most ancient of economic practices. Germany literally just traded with other countries: goods for goods, without the use of any fiat currency. Take the example of Argentina: Argentina had a very large ethnic German population, but it was a very underdeveloped country - it had no industry to speak of. But what they did have was an immense surplus of grain. Germany, on the other hand, was an industrial superpower, but they had very little land upon which to grow enough food for the German population. Argentina badly wanted a railroad system and modern industrial farming equipment. So Germany literally built them train engines and farm tractors in exchange for freight ships full of grain. Barter, plain and simple, and it fucking worked. *** Now, prior to Adolf Hitler taking charge of Germany, he had long been establishing an economic model in his mind. And that model was based on a philosophy, rather than a series of academic formulas. The German economy was supposed to be built upon the National Socialist philosophy, which was a philosophy of guiding principles. And those guiding principles all served but one singular purpose: to serve the health and wellbeing of the German people and the German country. This economic philosophy can best be observed in the booklet "The Programme of the NSDAP", written by Gottfried Feder. It's an incredible booklet, I recommend that every White person read it. I'm not going to rewrite the entire thing here for you, but I will point out some of its most beautiful ideas. The Reich was to eliminate both income and property taxes, for all the obvious reasons. They wanted to eliminate debt slavery, and allow German families to make enough money to live healthy and happy lives. (During the Reich itself, Hitler instituted a policy to incentivize childbirth: for every healthy German child a married couple produced, the Reich would pay 25% of their mortgage. Once four healthy German children were produced, the Reich paid for their entire house). Another element of Feder's philosophy was the protection of private property. The idea was to put as much German soil into the ownership of German civilians, rather than the government or corporations. There were laws in place to ensure that all land was kept within German families after the original owners grew old and passed away. Even going so far as to auction off whole farms to the surrounding farming community, in the event that the original owner didn't have any family to pass his land onto after his death. *** Beyond that, my Waffen SS friend, Theodor Junker, would repeatedly tell me about how Germany's socialized healthcare system ensured that prescription medications never exceeded more than a dollar or two, and that month-long hospital stays had a maximum copay of about twenty dollars (he would know this for absolute fact, as he was shot twice during the war, and once took an entire Russian grenade blast to his legs and groin from just a few meters away). He also talked about the Reich's special vacation resorts exclusive to workers and soldiers. The cost was something ridiculous - so low that we couldn't conceive of it today. Something like twenty to fifty dollars for an all-inclusive vacation. Which kept the working population incredibly happy, healthy, and motivated - which is why Germany absolutely dominated the entire world in manufacturing. He also told me about the nature of Germany's socialized education system. Yes, university education was free, however, what courses you took depended on your inherent aptitude. If you tested high in intelligence, then you went on to study math and physics and chemistry and biology, etc. If you tested average on the IQ scale, and proved to be competent in craft, you went to a trade school where you learned carpentry, stone work, electrical work, plumbing, etc. And yes, the German economy was able to do all of this and a great deal more, which made it a true wonder of the world. While the rest of the world was wallowing in the Great Depression, Germany was building a literal paradise. Which, of course, was why the Capitalist and Communist powers of the USA and USSR had to destroy it, vilify and demonize it, and thoroughly outlaw its reincarnation. *** End effort post.
