  • Capital will always side with the far right and the far right will always mobilise on their behalf.

    Fascism is just capitalism when you try to say no. I mean that literally too. Fascism rose as a direct response to socialism (people trying to say no to capitalism). In Europe, wealthy landowners and the aristocracy funded and empowered these groups, terrified that they might lose their power. The CIA have been finding far right groups all over the world for decades too.

    Despite what they tell you, at its heart, the far right ideology is corporatism: a corporate state (the true antithesis of lefism is privately owning the means of production and the community, as a whole). After all, what’s more top-down, ubermen watching over the lowers, ruthless, “traditional” value, established power, amoral, consumed with greed and the will to dominate than a corporation, left with no oversight?










  • That makes sense. There’s a reason that the 3 European counties who actaully choose fascism were the 3 most Christian: Germany Italy and Spain. No true Scotsman argument withstanding, well over 90% of people in nazi Germany were Christian, for example.

    Its not all Christians of course and I don’t have any problem with the vast, vast majority of them but there are parts of the bible that can and have been very deliberately bastardised by people for centuries and others just read literally in a way that can be formed into something really horrible. I might not believe in God but I do agree with Christians when they say the Bible is a powerful book. However, like all powerful things, it can be and is being misused, per the book itself.
