Only sort of. They used the old socialist logic of "hoarding". So if you save too much money and don't spend it, you're actually a capitalist that's hurting people.
So, as they increased political violence, they increased outgoing taxes. I think at one point it was taking around the equivalent of $350,000 to get out of Germany for a family. Which, yeah, meant literally selling every single thing you own.
Important to remember that leftists genuinely believe that rich people hoard money in huge Scrooge McDuck vaults for no reason other than a desire to make things worse for poor folks.
That's actually where the Scrooge McDuck vault comes from. It's a literal Leftist stereotype of a capitalist. In fact, he represents the Scottish-American financier and innovator class of the Gilded Age. They absolutely believed that people saving money was depriving the community of wealth and hurting people. This is why you needed a system of taxes to revoke that concealed property and re-distribute it to the poor. Every state, axis & allies, in WW2 attacked "hoarders" who weren't buying enough bonds or turning in gold. The Fascists, Nazis, and Communists all went further than the west, but they all demanded the ending of privately saving money. It's the basis of Keynesian Economics (which is a Socialist economic policy).
We should send all the migrants to slave gulags. Let them work, let us sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labour. Hey, they wanted to come here ...
I know we're all being facetious in this thread, but I believe that there actually is an unintended consequence of softening language (and this has bitten the left in the ass).
If you make undesirable things sound desirable then people lose some motivation to escape from those undesirable things. We started calling ghettos "projects" and now there's less shame in living there. We stop calling it Welfare and start calling it Public Assistance, same thing.
I'll even paraphrase George Carlin: I bet we'd take PTSD more seriously if it was still called "Shell Shock."
If such a thing as a "slave gulag" existed, that'd probably be the best name for it, because it sounds like a place nobody wants to be.
Sounds more like what Nazis supposedly did to Jews in the runup to the Holocaust

I think they're really just mad that they aren't the ones with the vaults. Everything they believe is downstream from that.
Yep. Took 6 million of their assets each before gassing 6 million of them.
Right?
The Nazis kept the records and made the laws you ignorant fag. Try looking at the laws you support before crying that they didn't exist.
Once again arguing like a screeching leftist when it comes to your sacred cow.
I'm tired of the same dumb shit from the same dumb people everyday. They can read the laws and get over it.
You're both right

I mean, can we euphemize them?? "Slave gulag" sounds icky. I prefer "employment opportunity camp"
Cultural-industrial enrichment programs.
👌👍

Slavery also backfired on us pretty hard the last time we made use of it.
