Jordan Peterson gave an absolute clinic on several topics in the interview with Destiny. In one part, Destiny seems to be confused about how someone can be anti-government (read: libertarian) and also Catholic. He sounded a lot like many of the trolls we encounter on our Fascbook page. For all we know Destiny is one of our trolls, but like the others he clearly hasn’t read anything on our site like the basic principle that there is no freedom without love and no love without freedom.

Peterson gives him a pithy primer in this clip:

Here’s the rest of the interview:

Fact Check: At one point Destiny asserted that the Nazis weren’t actually socialist (not real socialism!) despite the word being in the name National Socialist Party. He said that they weren’t socialist because there weren’t any companies that were owned by the workers. But that’s not socialism—it may be a communist eutopia—but it’s not socialism. Socialism is the state ownership of the means of production and that’s exactly what happened in Nazi Germany.

Nazi Germany nationalized industries and companies as part of their overall strategy to control the economy and consolidate power. This process began in 1933, shortly after Adolf Hitler became Chancellor, and continued throughout the Nazi regime.

The primary industries that were nationalized included banking, insurance, mining, and energy production. Key companies in these industries were targeted for state control, with the goal of creating a unified economy that served the interests of the Nazi Party.

In many cases, the nationalization process involved forcing private companies to merge with or be absorbed by state-owned enterprises. In other instances, companies were simply taken over by the government. In either case, the result was a significant increase in state control over the economy.

The nationalization of industries and companies was one part of a broader economic strategy known as “Gleichschaltung,” which involved the coordination and alignment of all aspects of German society under Nazi control. By consolidating economic power, the Nazi regime was able to exert greater influence over the nation’s resources, which in turn helped to support their military and political ambitions.
