Ehhh. There's problems with Ford but it's hard to call him a Nazi when he literally helped the US war machines problem with making ships quick enough. He helped instruct his future competitors on how to assembly line manufacturer things in order for the is to make ships faster to fight the Nazis.
Maybe just the ultimate capitalists that will sell out his own antisemitic views.
Henry Ford was an executive board member of the ravenously pro - fascist America First Committee. At what point does it become appropriate to accuse someone of being a nazi? Surely, by the time when they are not just avowedly pro-fascism and pro-nazi, but one of the people trying to bring Nazi fascism to the United States, it would be appropriate to call him a Nazi.
As for him building weapons for the USA, like was he just supposed to give those sales to his competitors? Do you understand how capitalism and fascism work together? His ideology doesn't prohibit him from working for the USA.
Check out the podcast Ultra. it's about the old America First movement in the USA
Good points. I didn't know about the America First Committee, but it makes sense.
