Prominent far-right influencers have been attempting to rehabilitate Hitler's reputation. That's not an exaggeration; it's easily documented. I wrote about why they are doing this, what they hope to gain, and what it means for America.

I think david shor has laid some of this out - but mostly it involves reallocating capital as proposed by some import swedish social democratic economist (Rudolf Meidner) rather than micromanaging the labour market
