Take #IGFarben, a company still doing a merry business today. Farben ran a rubber factory on Auschwitz slave labor, but its executives were frustrated by the delays occasioned by the daily 4.5m forced march from the death-camp to its factory:

So Farben built #Monowitz, its own, private-sector concentration camp. IG Farben purchased 25,000 slaves from the Reich, among them as many children as possible (the Reich charged less for child slaves).

Since we're on the subject of Hitler, this is a good spot to bring up #Monowitz, a private-sector satellite of #Auschwitz operated by #IGFarben as a slave labor camp to make rubber and other materiel it supplied at a substantial markup to the wermacht. I'd never heard of Monowitz, but Tkacik's description of the camp is chilling, even in comparison to Auschwitz itself.

Don't forget #BayerAG and #igfarben were part of the conglomerate that produced #zyklonb and used it in the genocide of #Jews, #Romany and other "undesirables" in the #Holocaust.

#Capitalism is death.
