Some German companies like Siemens and Krupp maintained a degree of independence. But their salaries were capped, and their dividends from government contracts were small (6%, while in America capitalists pocketed 160% ) . These industrialists were also expected to reinvest their profits in modernizing production and hiring more workers to meet increased demand. If they didn't and preferred to pocket it, the government would intervene and tax the shit out of excessively large accumulations of stagnant capital. Managers made more money, as they should, but it wasn't the ridiculous situation you've always had in capitalist states.

Half of our politicians in the plutocratic West sit on some kind of corporate board. In NS Germany it was illegal. There's more, but let's save it for the Capitalism thread.
This is neither true or something that belongs in this thread. I don't want this thread polluted by your bullshit.
