Ken,

I may of  misinterpreted  what you said but you seem to be implying that
it was  Capitalism  that helped bring about the Nazi  regime.  I totally
disagree  with this.  Goods and services  produced by slave labor is not
Capitalism;  it's slavery and  barbarism.  Capitalism  cannot exist in a
totalitarian,  fascist, or slave labor state.  If there is no  political
freedom,  there can be no economic  freedom for  Capitalism to function.
The  Nazi  regime  was  built  on loot  and  slavery  by  people  in the
government and other thugs whose main desire was  controlling  the lives
of other people and  eventually  ruling the world.  When force comes in,
Capitalism  goes  out.  If you  *want*  to  control  the  lives of other
individuals, you are not a Capitalist, you are a slave driver.
