@rakesmith I am sorry ihaven’t bothered to read all the last few pages but what is fascism is one of the questions as a historian i have been interested in for a long time. as i understand it fascism is PRIMARILY the use of the state and its resources for the benefit of corporations connected to that state conceived of within a competive capitalist global arena. this is how it is originally expressed by fascism’s founding thinkers and arguably is very close to what we have today. things like the state paying compensation to private entities for the financial damages incurred by the abolition of slavery; bank bailouts; and state institutions servicing resources the use of which private companies then sell on (like rail systems, and training doctors who have private clinics) are all examples. the consequences are ghastly as we all know
