    Fascism isn’t a new phenomenon in this world. We know what causes it.

    no, i’d say we don’t. or at least it’s not so clear to many people. mind explaining if it’s so obvious?

      Fascism is capitalism in decay, revealing its core function: maintaining the dominion of wealth through physical force. When consent can no longer be manufactured for capitalist crimes, repression takes over. Fascism is the system functioning as intended: forcing consent when consent is no longer given.

        MAGA is the fact that the american people understand that the system doesn’t work anymore and needs to be radically changed, they just don’t know how to change it to make it work again.

        Somebody (Trump and his friends) take advantage of that by offering the people radical change, just in the wrong direction.

      As the father of fascism himself labeled it, fascism is the marriage of corporations and government.
