The reason why we don't get UBI or universal health insurance or free childcare or *any* social amenities that an advanced society *can* afford is that neoliberalism's *whole being* revolves around the disenfranchisement of workers. Active indifference to humanity; a place where fascism festers.

Feuchtwanger was one of the first writers to warn the world about Hitler and Nazism, and had been relentless in his verbal attacks on them, so the Nazis ransacked his Berlin apartment (in his absence) immediately in '33
He later wrote an open letter to the new occupant

It's GLORIOUS hater content:
![To the occupant of my house on Mahlstrasse in Berlin:
I do not know your name or how you came into possession of my house. I only know that two years ago the police of the Third Reich seized all my property, personal and real, and handed it over to the stock company formed by the Reich for the confiscation of the properties of political adversaries (chairman of the board: Minister Goering). I learned this through a letter from the mortgagees. They explained to me that under the laws of the Third Reich, confiscations of property belonging to political opponents concern themselves only with credit balances. Although my house and my bank deposits, which had also been confiscated, greatly exceeded in value the amount of the mortgage, I would be obliged to continue the payment of interests on the mortgage, as well as my German taxes, from whatever money I might earn abroad. Be that as it may, one thing is certain: you, Mr. X, are occupying my house and I, in the opinion of the German judges, must pay the costs.
How do you like my house, Mr. X? Do you find it pleasant to live in? Did the silver-grey carpeting in the upper rooms suffer while the SA-men were looting? My concierge sought safety in these upper rooms, as, I being in America at the time, the gentlemen had decided to take it out on him. The carpet is very delicate, and red is a strong color, hard to clean out. The rubber tiling in the stairway was also not primarily designed with the boots of SA-men in mind. Should it have suffered too badly, I recommend you contact the Baake company; the flooring is the same as on the staircases of the “Europa” and the “Bremen,”[1] and this is the company which delivered it.
Have you any notion why I had the semi-enclosed roof terrace built? Mrs. Feuchtwanger and I used it for our morning exercise. Would you mind seeing to it that the pipes of the shower don’t freeze?](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:474ldquxwzrlcvjhhbbk2wte/bafkreidtql7l2iul5yyrgtxuuovnz2rlkdvrjhlh7rj3c46bpz6xlkt32m@jpeg)
![Doesn’t it sometimes seem odd to you that you should be living in my house? Your “Führer” is not generally considered a friend of Jewish literature. Isn’t it, therefore, astounding that he should have such a strong predilection for the Old Testament? I myself have heard him quote with much fervor, “An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth” (by which he may have meant “A confiscation of property for literary criticism”). And now, through you, he has fulfilled a prophecy of the Old Testament—the saying, “Thou shalt dwell in houses thou hast not builded.”
Don’t let my house get into a mess, Mr. X. Building and furnishing it has taken Mrs. Feuchtwanger and myself a lot of effort. Running and maintaining it won’t take a lot of effort. Please take care of it a little. I’m also saying this in your own interest. Your “Führer” has promised that his rule will last a thousand years: thus I’m assuming that you will soon be in the position of negotiating with me concerning the house’s return.
With many good wishes for our house,
Lion Feuchtwanger
P.S. By the way, do you agree that my statement that your “Führer” writes bad German is disproved by the fact that you are sitting in my house?

Exactly 93yrs ago today, Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany
German-Jewish antifa author Lion Feuchtwanger was on book tour in the U.S. when it happened
He realized, all of a sudden, that he would likely never return to Germany
And he never did
It's weird how personal history works out

what’s astounding about this is not only the incredible cruelty but the complete lack of even the most basic public relations instincts
they kidnap a five year old and generate national outrage and rather than do some basic window dressing to treat him nice while abusing everyone else they do this

Look, I'm going to tell you a secret. If you buy an e-book while it's on sale, you never have to read it. If you have $2 to spare & want to help that particular author, you can just chuck the book into the oubliette of your TBR. Every sale helps. The author will never know, but you gave them a gift.
