"People
who aren’t Nazis know how to avoid doing a Nazi salute."
~ Stephen Colbert
- Fascism: a populist political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual, that is associated with a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, and that is characterized by severe economic and social regimentation and by forcible suppression of opposition.
~ Merriam-Webster Dictionary
- Fascism equals Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power.
~ Benito Mussolini (Italian WW2 fascist leader)
I don't know if Elon Musk is a Nazi or not. But he is a multi-billionaire corporatist who wishes to have the American people pay for his hugely expensive Mars missions. And the taxpayers won't even get a candy bar in return.
Musk also loves the zionists who are genociding the Palestinian people in Gaza and the West Bank.
But what about the Democrats? The vast majority of them are corporatists as well. Are they Nazis? You decide. (A high percentage of them routinely vote to support zionism.)
All I know is that since the Clinton's took control of the Dems they have successfully changed the face of their party - from a 'liberal' one to a neo-con dominated corporate apparatchik party.
Both parties are agents of Mr. Big - the war machine, big Pharma, big Ag, big oil, Wall Street, corporate media and the thieving medical system in America.
Many Dems appear to be happy to call the Repubs and Musk a fascist but they seem slow to hold their own party to the same standards.
Both parties support the continued colonial occupation of the Global South. They appear willing to create chaos if control of empire cannot be maintained. Both parties support the growing technocracy that will use AI to 'maximize government productivity and efficiency'.
Mr. Big is going full robot tech, digital currency and maximum suppression of human and civil rights.
The revolution we need won't come from continuing to play the 'good cop-bad cop' party game.
Years ago I read Kurt Vonnegut’s fine book called Piano Player. It was set
in a time in the future where the young people had no jobs. They were
superfluous because machines, computers, robots (and now AI) had taken over the
essential work functions. The young people had no place
in society, no role. They had no stake in the present and saw no future
for themselves. By the end of the book the youth tore up the machines and torn down the social structures as
if they were beginning a rebuilding of the society in hopes of creating
a just and fair order.
All the political hacks must be condemned for their fealty to corporate power.
