"The United States is not on the brink of fascism; it is living inside it. Yet history teaches us that authoritarianism is never defeated by silence or compliance. It is challenged when people refuse to unlearn their capacity for outrage, when education becomes a practice of freedom rather than domination, and when youth transform fear into political consciousness. The mass resistance now unfolding in Minneapolis and spreading across the country is not a fleeting protest but a giant stirring, a force gathering its strength in the face of terror. What is required now is a shared awakening, a collective refusal to normalize terror or accept fear as the horizon of political life. It calls for a renewed commitment to a pedagogy of resistance, one that names injustice without hesitation, connects private suffering to public responsibility, and affirms, even in dark times, that another future not only remains possible but is already struggling to be born.That future, however, depends on organized, nonviolent mass action led by workers, artists, intellectuals, cultural workers, youth, educators, unions, community organizers, and mass democratic organizations that understand that teaching, cultural production, and political struggle are inseparable practices. The tools required to confront authoritarianism are not new; they are part of a democratic inheritance forged through abolitionist movements, labor struggles, anti-colonial resistance, and the Black freedom struggle, this country’s most enduring and transformative force for democracy. Again and again, these traditions have shown that disciplined, mass-based collective movements can dismantle regimes of terror once deemed invincible. Under such circumstances, education should become central to politics and the struggle over identity, agency, and subjectivity, functioning as a fundamental force in social change."https://www.counterpunch.org/2026/01/30/domestic-terrorism-in-plain-sight-white-supremacy-state-violence-and-the-assault-on-democracy/#USA #Trump #Fascism #WhiteSupremacy #PoliceState

@remixtures When a large section of the population is so brainwashed that they stop having children, believe they do not need to defend their borders and do not need to limit who is allowed to move into their country, they prove that decision making needs to be made by wise men rather than be left to the ignorant easily manipulated masses.

@Bernard Sorry, I don't want to be oppressed by a entity that restricts my freedom as a citizen (the State) And my ancestors fought to end this bullshit of elites' rule. If anything, what we lack is more citizen's control of the actions of the rulers. The alternative to barbarism is real Participatory Democracy, not a government by the wealthy to the wealthy. Rulers should fear the citizens. Never the opposite.

@remixtures All governments are a small group of people. Whether you like it or not, you are always going to be ruled by somebody unless you are the ruler. Democracy just leads to oligarchy and then to tyranny. We in the US and most of Europe have been living under shadow oligarchy of the merchant class for a long time and are now moving into the tyranny phase. The tried and true alternative to this is wise noble rule by visible potentates as worked for millennia until the world revolutions brought us to this deteriorating state.

@Bernard Sorry, participatory democracy can be way more effective than representative democracy in representing the interests of the people https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Participatory_democracy. Representative democracy in the end is just a form of "fake" democracy.

@remixtures In a world or small environment where the masses are intelligent, noble, and brave, maybe it can work. Amongst the masses you generally find ignorance and cowardice. You need to work with what you have in reality.

@s8n @remixtures Benito's fascism was a left wing government that had universal education and healthcare. Private capital needed to serve the state, and when it was not doing that, it was nationalized as you describe. Under capitalism, the state serves capital. Under communism, all capital is owned and controlled by the government elite. Under fascism, private capital serves the state. Under national socialism, private capital and the state serves the nation. Leftists like to call fascist anything they don't like. Some people today broadly describe any authoritarian structured society as fascist. It is difficult to know what people mean when they call something fascist.

@Bernard @s8n Capitalism and communism, in Marx's point of view, should be viewed as economic modes of production: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mode_of_production#Capitalist_mode_of_production One of the two had already global hegemony in Marx's time (Capitalism). The other (Communism) was and remains a theoretical possibility. Under this lense, the soviet regime was a State Capitalism mode of production: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_capitalism. Nothing to do with real communism. Just because deturpers later on eventually stole the concept of communism, it does not mean it has anything to do with Marx's ideas - which was after all one of the first authors to speak of capitalism. Most of the time, it's just a deturpation that has no real meaning in terms of mode of production which was really Marx's original meaning.

@Sternritter-C @Bernard @s8n Fascism is a political ideology. Liberalism is also a political ideology. Not capitalism which, in economy, refers to a mode of production. Also, historically, all fascists were very friendly of their national capitalists. So, not exactly true. "Fascism had a complex relationship with capitalism, both supporting and opposing different aspects of it at different times and in different countries. In general, fascists held an instrumental view of capitalism, regarding it as a tool that may be useful or not, depending on circumstances."https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economics_of_fascism

@Bernard @s8n Sorry, I'm really tired of having this conversation. It's perfectly easy to identify a set of distinctive features that characterize fascism as a political ideology. And TRUMPISM IS FASCISM:https://archive.fo/VB18Y

@remixtures @Sternritter-C @s8n We should evaluate these systems based on how they were actually implemented rather than theory. Modern Capitalism and Communism are internationalist/globalist. Under communism, all capital is immediately confiscated and controlled by globalist elites. Under capitalism, capital is gradually extracted from nations to the global elites while nations go into ever increasing debt to them. Communism has largely failed and faded although its egalitarian theories continue in liberal capitalist countries. Fascism and National Socialism are nationalistic. Under National Socialism, capital and the state served the nation. Mussolini's Italy was a multi-ethnic state rather than a unified nation. So they substituted the state for nation as what capital and policy should serve. Debate and policy set by wise leaders rather than the ignorant mob enforced what was best for the nation and state. These and other nationalistic governments opposed and impeded both capitalism and communism in how capital was managed and how society was structured. Capital could not easily be extracted to globalists, and traditional structured societies advanced culture and civilization. They were very successful until the globalists militarily crushed and destroyed them.I could not open your link that perhaps explained how Trumpism is fascism. Trump is a politician in a capitalist globalist country who might do some things benefiting the US state, but he is beholden to the oligarchic globalists whose nation of loyalty is Israel. If we were living under fascism, we would not have elections and be supporting the globalists and Israel regardless of who is elected. We would not be $38T indebted to globalists. Activities that destroy families and nation would not be allowed.

@Bernard @Sternritter-C @s8n "We should evaluate these systems based on how they were actually implemented rather than theory."I disagree. That goes against the notion of calling something as capitalism and the other thing as communism. Concepts have defitinions associated with them. We should strive to achieve a minimum degree of rigour. If not, there's not even a need to discuss ideas.

@remixtures @Sternritter-C @s8n A system must be described based on what it actually does rather than what it says it will do, especially when we have concrete implementations to evaluate.

@Bernard @Sternritter-C @s8n You're talking about social systems that are ever-changing. That's why social scientists keep coming with new words to describe these systems. While they tend to disagree all the time, they acknowlege their ideas. But f you come up with interpretations of the real behavior of these social systems without even contextualziing them with differerent interpretations made by other thinkers think about these social systems, then I don't have any reason to take it seriously.

@remixtures @Bernard @s8n What the author is describing as "trumpism"/facism is something the Democrats also do and have been doing since 2014 or earlier. Trump or his faction of the right simply caught up to the game.

@Bernard @Sternritter-C @s8n Ezra Pound did became crazy... https://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2019/09/16/the-gift-of-lewis-hydes-the-gift/About anti-semitism, I would recommend you to read this article by Moishe Postone: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/moishe-postone-anti-semitism-and-national-socialism. In any case, I guess by now you all became so brainwashed that you can't really grasp a thought about social reality that requires more complexity than those formulaic simplistic anti-semitic tropes. I guess anti-semitism is really the socialism of fools: https://cup.columbia.edu/book/socialism-of-fools/9780231170383/
