Nazi germany privatized vast swaths of their economy (steel, rail, etc.) [1]. So you want america to look like Nazi Germany? /s

This is not a serious analysis of history. Besides, a large number of countries (e.g., Sweden, Norway, France) have more public ownership of corporations than Argentina.

Coincidentally, the state of France holds around a tenth of Airbus stock

Indeed, as I recall, government owning part of a company, not all, is a fairly common practice worldwide. It recognizes that the company is quasi-governmental, as Boeing is.

Is this "better?" I don't know, but for an extremely large, capital-intensive, national security-critical industry, it might be the least bad solution (and no, I'm not a socialist).

And how exactly that privatisation is at all related to fascism? The argument is totally irrelevant. Let's turn this on its head: Most of American corporations are privately/publicly (and not the government) so does America right now look like Nazi Germany?
