it's known to all that Japan 🇯🇵 is an American colony . Since the end of world war ll and the presence of American troops on Japanese soil .

The Plazza Accords ruined Japan's economy with consequences felt for decades, just because US industry felt threatened by Japanese competition. 30 years of stagnation were the price paid for being a vassal state of Aemrica. In some way, the US destroyed Japan twice, in the 40's and the 80's, and will not hesitate to sacrifice it a third time.

"A form of stratification based on the degree to which individuals understand empathy and the allocation of the means and results of production—ranging from those who understand it most to those who are least willing to do so—is the appropriate form of social stratification."

This form of social stratification is why you are only allowed to post in Questions & Debates whereas individuals such as Zea_mays who understand empathy:

“... Thus, it was the conclusions of Gottfried Feder that caused me to delve into the fundamentals of this field with which I had previously not been very familiar. I began to study again, and now for the first time really achieved an understanding of the content of ... Karl Marx’s life effort. Only now did his Kapital become really intelligible to me ...” —Adolf Hitler, 1925

I want everyone to keep what he has earned subject to the principle that the good of the community takes priority over that of the individual. But the State should retain control; every owner should feel himself to be an agent of the State. . . . The Third Reich will always retain the right to control property owners

[W]e will do what we like with the bourgeoisie. . . We give the orders; they do what they are told. Any resistance will be broken ruthlessly. . . You just tell the German bourgeoisie that I shall be finished with them far quicker than I shall with Marxism - Adolf Hitler

The small businessmen, who had previously been one of the mainstays of the party and who had expected great things from Chancellor Hitler, soon found themselves, many of them, exterminated and forced back into the ranks of wage earners. A law passed in October 1937 dissolved all companies with capital under $40,000 and prohibited the establishment of new companies with capital under $200,000. This quickly eliminated one-fifth of all small business enterprises. On the other hand, the large cartels, which had even been favored by the Republic, were further strengthened by the Nazis. In fact, by a law of July 15, 1933, they were made compulsory. The Ministry of Economics was empowered to organize new compulsory cartels or to order companies to join existing ones.

The system of various business and trade associations organized during the Republic was maintained by the Nazis, although by the basic law of February 27, 1934, they were reorganized on the principle of efficient leadership and placed under state control.

After the seizure of power this definition of the role of the entrepreneur was legally fixed in the 'Law for the Structuring of National Labour' (20 January 1934). 169 According to this law, the 'company leader' was the 'trustee of the state' and therefore obligated to the common good of the national community. This interpretation of the role of the owner or manager in the NS state was more important than Hitler's formal guarantee of private ownership. Because, as the reality of the Third Reich - particularly in the war years - showed, this definition of the role of the owner or manager had far-reaching consequences. The Volksgerichtshof [People's Court, the highest penal court in the Third Reich-H.B.], for example, handed down extremely harsh sentences against owners or managers who ignored the directives of the state plan

We also see the socialist character of the Reichsbahn in something else. It is a warning about the exclusive claims of the doctrine of private capitalism. It is the living proof that it is very possible to run a nationalized enterprise without private capital tendencies and without private capital management - Adolf Hitler

In another table talk on 2 November 1941, during which he talked about the ‘time of struggle’ and his ‘contempt’ for the bourgeoisie which he had developed at this time, he said, ‘The Communists and us, those were the only ones who also had women who did not flinch when the shooting started. Those are decent people with whom alone you can maintain a state.’

The economy was comprehensively organized by industries und by territory. Geographical districts, Gaue, were defined, as were the chief economic sectors such as industry, handicrafts, commerce, banking, insurance, and power. These great sectors, or Reich Groups, were subdivided into numerous smaller groups, each under the command of a leader named or approved by the government. As a rule the leader was an executive in the respective industry who within his jurisdiction had considerable powers and responsibilities. All in all, this apparatus was very cumbersome; everyone in economic life without exception was a member and was subjected by it to all the regulations, instructions, and orders which the government was pleased to decree. From this system there was no escape.

Even before the war, managers were often told what to produce and by what methods, how much coal and raw materials would be available to them, what materials to use and not to use, what prices to pay and to charge, from whom to accept orders for delivery, to and through whom to sell, and in which order to fill requests. Thus, at some times government orders had priority, at other times export orders, and among government orders some- times those of the army, at other times those of government plants were first in line.

“’What is the difference between communism, socialism and national socialism?’ the riddle asks. ‘If you have six cows,’ the answer says, ‘the communists take all six, the socialists take three and leave you three, but the Nazis make you keep all six--and they take the milk.’”

He [Hitler] voiced his radical regrets: that he had not exterminated the German nobility, that he had come to power 'too easily', not unleashing a classical revolution 'to destroy elites and classes',' that he had supported Franco in Spain instead of the Communists, that he had failed to put himself at the head of a movement for the liberation of the colonial peoples, 'especially the Arabs', that he had not freed the working class from 'the bourgeoisie of fossils'. Above all he regretted his leniency, his lack of the admirable ruthlessness Stalin had so consistendy showed and which invited one's 'unreserved respect' for him. One of his last recorded remarks, on 27 April 1945, three days before he killed himself (whether by bullet or poison is disputed)
