What do you mean by "the ones assumed when those techs and institutions were built"? Both Nazi and Communists institutions and techs were built for that exact purpose.

If you mean designed and built, that's a rather harsh judgement of eg IBM - well beyond "war profiteer". Perhaps supplied for that purpose though.

Somewhat chilling to contemplate what purpose the current "Watson" could be put to, though:

"When the Nazis invaded Poland (...) IBM New York established a special new subsidiary called Watson Business Machines," after its then- president, Thomas Watson."

"Hello, Watson - is our genocide still on track?"

The origins of almost every "Nazi tech" predate their rise to power.
