The nazis privatized a lot of things, save for public healthcare, which is pretty much the only thing the right talks about in case when they need to prove “the national socialists were in fact, socialists” somehow.
Hungary’s Fidesz even managed to do it in a way they can communicate it to different audiences that they have both nationalized and privatized it, by selling it to a Hungarian oligarch, but buying back 25% of it immediately to nationalize the losses. Fidesz managed to get a lot of former old tankies as voters by saying they’re boing to build a “work-based society”.

What dreadful perfidy. I guess the socialists and communists weren’t fooled, at least? What a debate that must have been.
