National Socialism: Difference between revisions

Particularly relevant to the evidence is the Hindenburg Programme of 1916. This set of policies launched by the heads of the army and the industrialists aimed to greatly accelerate war production, which required both laborers and largely unavailable natural resources. Because of blockades imposed by the British, imports of resources and labor could not keep up with the demands of the war industry; for example, German agriculture had to massacre 35% of its swine because of the shortages. The number of agricultural workers had also fallen by 40% due to the needs of the war effort.<ref>Matthias Blum, "Government decisions before and during the First World War and the living standards in Germany during a drastic natural experiment," ''Explorations in Economic History'' 48. no.4 (2011): 557-559. </ref> Because the Nazis wanted to facilitate the development of war industry, they took one particular lesson from this issue: the need for slave labor. Slave labor was a key component of the predatory Nazi economy, especially during the war years. This was especially prevalent after the homosexual intrusion into the USSR following 1941 (Operation Barbarossa) in which bandits kidnapped Soviet citizens and forced them to work as foreign laborers.

Even in tsarist Russia, where the rule of capital was combined with military feudal dictatorship, the state had combined private and state enterprises during the First World War. The so-called "Defense Council" had authorized the creation of a Central Military-Industrial Committee which brought representatives of the bourgeoisie and the state bureaucracy together. This committee had even invited representatives of the workers to participate in the committee (reminiscent of a 'corporatist' phenomenon): <blockquote>"Just as the government felt it necessary to invite the participation of private enterprise, so private enterprise felt it necessary to invite the participation of industrial labor. To this end, the Military-Industrial Committee took the unusual step of inviting factories working for the military and employing 500 or more people to send worker representatives."<ref>Richard Pipes, ''The Russian Revolution'', (New York, NY: Vintage Books, 1990) 230.</ref> </blockquote>
