White Supremacy is Fascism

[Soph0571]

Graphic mine

All of the voter suppression tactics across the American red wall, and the blocking of any debate in the senate by McTurtle on voter reform is all about one thing - right wing white wankers thinking that their right to power is absolute and blocking anyone who looks at their shit and knows it stinks, from accessing their franchise. They believe that in their whiteness they have the absolute right to rule - they they get to sit at the high table of white supremacist privilege while the rest of us should be grateful for any scattered crumbs. They believe the monstrous lie that somehow they are 'better' and have the right to rule - which is why they are more than willing to quote the big lie ad infinitum, refuse to agree a commission on a violent insurrection by their white supremacist friends and comrades, and are actively fighting against the American experiment and the democratic republican principles on which it was founded.

Fascist they be, and they cannot be allowed to get away with it.

1. Fascism is indeed a world-wide problem. There are White Supremacists, Brown Supremacists

and Black Supremacists and all these groups are natural allies. We need to keep a close watch on all
of them.

2. Fascism could exist without racism, but it was definitely...

... a big part of fascism in Germany. In places like Italy, not so much.

What they had in common was propaganda and fear-mongering about socialists, communists and liberals. And they were both extremely nationalistic, like the right-wingers who've told people to leave the country if they even slightly criticize or question it.

German industrialists generally supported the Nazis, especially at first, because the Nazis were perceived to be the best way to combat the communists and socialists over there.

But Germany was indeed whacko about their "Aryan race" nonsense too, claiming it was only the "inferior"
races that supported socialist ideas.

Heinrich Himmler certainly took that insanity to extremes!

3. Racism also existed before Facism

The British people were definitely racists and believers in "The White Man's Burden" while they conquered large swathes of the world and engaged in the slave trade.

Most people in the US were racists in the mid 19th Century. Among those who wanted to abolish slavery, the predominant view was that the former slaves should be deported to Africa.

4. Yep.

Racism and fascism can indeed exist independently.

5. As usual you are spot on. Just watched "Downfall" for the first time, and the blind

allegiance to the fascist, racist, monster that was Hitler, and his cult, is staggering to behold.

Mothers killing their children -as the end is certain and the Allies approach Berlin - because they don't want their children to grow up in a world without "National Socialism"

Absolutely insane allegiance.

So many parallels to Trump and his followers.

6. Fascism applies to all hierarchal ideologies, along with hierarchal corporate structures.

Which is why China and Russia are fascist no matter their ideological label. Fascists hide out behind all kinds of other labels -- even socialist, as Hitler did with his NAZI acronym at his startup -- then the bankers and corporate money handlers behind them whip themselves into controlling governments and politicians as their tools.

Republicans have been the Fifth Column for fascism since Bush's administration ("I call you my base&quot .

7. Fascism is defined as corporate control of the government.

These other forces - racism, nationalism, xenophobia, etc. - are usually features of fascist regimes, but they are not the defining characteristics. Corporate control is.

[Klaralven]

8. It's actually more the state controlling corporations

In the fascist ideology, the state is all powerful. Corporations are one instrument of state power. Although corporations may be operated autonomously, they are directed to operate to the advantage of the state.

The Nazi Party controlled Krupp, Farben, BMW, Bayer, etc., not the other way around.
