They were entirely dominated by the Nazis and they would force people to join the party to be accepted
what were dominated by the Nazis ?
The trade unions
Yes they created them
Which are supposed to be worker controlled
Not always
thats the definition of a trade union isnt it
They were dominated by party members and leaders, who looked out for the Nazi government, who were looking out for
Come on
Say it
Not neccisarly
The big companies
Yes neccesarily
And the companies were over regulated by the state
I’ve studied the German Labour Front
I said they don’t have to be owned by the workers all the time
It was an attempt to prevent striking and worker disharmony
Private or state can do it
Because German conditions were generally pretty shit
For the average worker
“Its leader was Robert Ley, who stated that its aim was 'to create a true social and productive community'.[1] Theoretically, DAF existed to act as a medium through which workers and owners could mutually represent their interests. Wages were set by the 12 DAF trustees. The employees were given relatively high set wages and security of employment, and dismissal was increasingly made difficult. Social security and leisure programmes were started, canteens, breaks, and regular working times were established, and German workers were generally satisfied by what the DAF gave them in repayment for their absolute loyalty.”
real wages remained the same while working hours increased
Doesn’t seem so
Real wages =/= wages
It was to create volksgemeinschaft
Wages may have risen but inflation go to them
That’s not the same thing
As you don’t artificially raise rates
Wages *
hitler did raise inflation rates artificailly though bankrupting a lot of people
using the mefo scheme
Socialism
Basically
The state had a big role in the economy
My point is workers were generally being paid the same amount while working longer hours than in the Weimar Republic
>paying off banks with fake loans is socialism
Lol
Yes you said real wages
The wages rose but were eaten up by inflation
Which is indicative of worse conditions seeing as prices did not drop
Through strong regulation , price controls etc
