The Democrats were less obvious but still bow down to corporations.
"Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power.” — Benito Mussolini.
i'm struggling to think of a single capitalist state i have some knowledge of that doesn't work like this. there are probably a few of them...?
Merger is the key word.
Corporates do have some power, to greater or lesser degrees, in most government systems. But very few have the level of control over writing laws and paying politicians that the USA has.
i can think of a few, very much including my own.
So watch out for more signs of fascism, particularly when corporate rights trump individuals.
oh we had a literal fascist as our head of state very recently and the current one reminds me of us democrats, as in he barely even acknowledges it properly, and even lets fascist policy pass. i think this is definetly a sign lololol
Corporatism doesn't have to come with racism. Technically fascism neither, but nobody uses it like that.
fascism necessarily does though. they use it as a tool of division.
Sex, size, place of birth, lineage. Why is race necessary to divide people?
oh, they divide by sex and gender too. and they are literally deporting people because of the place they came from in the us.
and more.
