Regarding the nationalization of industry or private property:
"Of what importance is all that, if I range men firmly within a
discipline they cannot escape? Let them own land or factories as
much as they please. The decisive factor is that the State, through
the Party, is supreme over them regardless of whether they are owners
or workers. All that is unessential; our socialism goes far deeper.
It establishes a relationship of the individual to the State, the
national community. Why need we trouble to socialize banks and
factories? We socialize human beings."
