“If ‘state capitalism’ were proposed by Democrats or progressives, it would be considered socialism or communism. Done by a neofascist president — as chronicled by the The Wall Street Journal — it’s simply considered inefficient (as the Journal concludes).” - @…

Trump’s “State Capitalism”
It would be communism under any other dictator

European "socialism" is a compromise wherein the population gets services and, in exchange, the rich are allowed to continue to exist. This compromise developed to save capitalism from the threat of the working class just rising up and just doing it all themselves. Revolutions, it turns out, can be dangerous and may be subverted. It's generally safer, so Europe's working class decided, to accept some exploitation in exchange for not taking that chance.
The the strategy of "point guns at everyone until they comply" was a sustainable strategy, all of Europe would still be absolute monarchies, feudalism would still be the dominant economic system globally, and England would still control most of the land on Earth. Recognizing that this *isn't* the state of the world should give some clues as to how well Yarvin's ideas continue will play out in the real world.

When you start to see that capitalism is nothing but systemic exploitation and domination, and that Marxism-Leninism only reproduces the same state capitalism under another name through authoritarian state socialism, you then realize that leftist parties don’t actually bring about any fundamental change, because they to keep power rigidly centralized, to preserve existing hierarchies, and to maintain the dominance of the ruling classes.

Not clear on the definition of Fascism?
Benito Mussolini 1932
#TeaParty #MAGA
"Fascism was not the nursling of a doctrine previously drafted at a desk; it was born of the need of action, and was action; it was not a party but, in the first two years, an anti-party and a movement.”

“[Fascism] is opposed to classical liberalism which arose as a reaction to absolutism and exhausted its historical function when the State became the expression of the conscience and will of the people. Liberalism denied the State in the name of the individual; Fascism reasserts the rights of the State”
#PersonalIdentity
"Anti-individualistic, the Fascist conception of life stresses the importance of the State and accepts the individual only in so far as his interests coincide with those of the State..”
#WorkersRights #Corporate #Billionnaires
"Fascism is likewise opposed to trade unionism as a class weapon. But when brought within the orbit of the State, Fascism recognizes the real needs which gave rise to socialism and trade unionism, giving them due weight in the guild or corporative system in which divergent interests are coordinated and harmonized in the unity of the State.

"if liberty is to he the attribute of living men and not of abstract dummies invented by individualistic liberalism…”
#totalitarianism
"Fascism, is totalitarian, and the Fascist State - a synthesis and a unit inclusive of all values - interprets, develops, and potentates the whole life of a people”
#austerity
"life, as conceived of by the Fascist, is serious, austere, and religious; The Fascist disdains an “easy " life.”

"[Fascism] does not believe in the possibility of "happiness" on earth … it therefore rejects the theological notion that at some future time the human family will secure a final settlement of all its difficulties.”
