Touché. However the VW of today is vastly far-removed from VW during WW2.
In fact the only reason VW exists post WW2 is because of a British army captain who wanted to get the factory up and running and build some cars. He thought the design of the beetle was inexpensive, practical, and cool.
(Interesting sidenote, the designs of the Beetle were offered to British carmakers, who rejected it, stating that nobody would want a car so cheap and devoid of luxury. The Beetle went on to be the most popular car in the world.)
Continuing the analogy, VW is more like a fork of the original VW project started by the Nazi party.
Comparing Brendan eichtoo Hitler doesn’t seem logically coherent but let’s just use your fringe example. We do actually continue to use shit invented by Hitler all over the world to this day. Volkswagen to give an example. Lemmy is made by tankies. So… The answer is that so long as the thing is sufficiently useful. Yes.
The choice might not always be obvious. What if the project improves the society or saves human lives? In such case we might decide it’s better to support the project, but make it clear that we don’t support his other activities.

It’s called Volkswagen, one of the biggest car manufacturers in the world.

You use thousands of products. A majority of them probably have some heinous shit behind their executives.
