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.
