Not unbiased at all.
'correction] Since we are more worried about the economy, and the survival of our businesses, than democrats.
I fixed that for them.
Also, Hitler features prominently. But that is just fan fiction. Really they wish they had that sort of power, and then they'd squash all Republicans like bugs.
In context: 1929 was stock market crash sparking a global depression. All governments, including Soviets, Germans, Westerners, Chinese, and even Antipodeans turned to bigly construction projects, for example roads and dams, as well as random towers upon hilltops, just to do something, using 'slave labour' - i.e. starving individuals worked, who were needing a few cents to eat. They also used Prison labor. The Unemployed queued for daily hires at businesses too, just to get some bread on the table that night.
[Hint: Construction is key. Hence Trump is liderally Hitler]
The two ideas are not connected. On the one hand you have a strategist fixing the economy by stimulating industry and construction, on the other you have death-concentration camps, utterly populated by jews. Yeah we have all seen Spielberg's versions of those camps, so we are trained to think that way. Also: Hitler is a name, so must be capitalized, just saying.
How much of a part did the 'industrialists' play, we'd like to know. The author claims it is 'large'. OK then: How much of the unrest in Germany was Bolsheviks killing German cousins on the previously German and now newly formed Polish soil? Now that we have witnessed a budding genocide of Russian speakers and a Russian intervention, this German invasion of Poland sounds like a playbook, somehow. A filthy trick to kill Germans, German Industry, and everybody else who got in the way, in Europe.
Furthermore: How much of the unrest was caused by Berlin turning into a filthy, alcohol-and-drug-soaked perversion of Liza Minelli's performance with a tranny?
No wonder some people wished to burn books.
