“Bunaworks,” the rubber factory where the synthetic rubber substitute Buna was manufactured, was a sub-camp (one of the hundreds, maybe thousands of sub-camps) of Auschwitz, where IG Farben made the product.
IG Farben built the facility in cooperation with the SS and with funding by the Deutsche Bank.
These days, Wall Street and Washington have joined forces to send over 50,000 U.S. factories overseas (mostly to China) since the year 2000, along with 10 million good jobs. And we have the unmitigated gall to criticize on the factory, the only corporate-government partnership in Nazi Germany. Shame.
The Nazis gave prisoners who worked at factories an extra ration called “Buna Soup.”
Ditto with the ten thousand other work camps associated with the major concentration camps: healthy rations for all dependable workers. IG Farben actually paid the Nazis a small daily stipend for each worker – Washington pays China hundreds of billions every year in interest on our $10 trillion debt to China.
Nobody complains about paying a Chinese worker $0.10 to make a pair of Nike shows that fetches $75.00 stateside. Nobody complains about sweatshop conditions, child labor, and Dickensonian conditions in Chinese factories.
Air pollution is so harmful in every major Chinese city from coal-fired power plants (a new one, with zero pollution controls, is brought online every week, 365 days a year) – burning coal from the U.S. – that it’s like smoking a pack of cigarettes a day since the day you were born.
