    The Republicans won’t be nationalizing anything. What are the Republicans going to do? Break the Unions? They’ve already done that. Purge the communists? They’re a generation too late. Drop wages? Wages are at the breaking point, they can’t be dropped any further. What are they going to do? Are they going to militarize the police? Police budgets are already greater than almost every other country’s military budget, including Russia’s. There’s nothing left for them to accomplish here. The United States is interested in controlling international trade routes and foreign capital. It can’t simply reverse course and become isolationist. There is no resolution short of throwing off the reigns of capitalism which fascism never did nor was it able to resolve the inherent contradictions within the capitalist system. You cannot have isolationist fascism. The currency is so thoroughly debased that we can expect inflation to continue to increase and for the glaring contradictions to become more and more acute as we head into a terrible depression with no apparent way out. Fascism doesn’t offer the solution you seem to think it does. Fascism is capitalism it doesn’t have a magic bullet to alleviate the contradictions present in capitalism it doesn’t provide a solution.

    The fascists sought to resolve their problems by devouring their neighbors. They didn’t do it by nationalizing everything and making a utopia at home. That’s a myth. The fascists couldn’t have maintained power without WW2 and at the end it still collapsed in a heap of a ruined continent.

    Those conditions of the last century don’t exist today. We’re not looking at the rise of a glorious empire. We’re looking at an empire which has over extended itself and consumed the Republic which spawned it. There is nothing left. There is no out.

    Like I said. The fascists already got everything they wanted. They’ve already done it.
