If you think it’s bad now, it’s gonna get worse in the coming years.
Reading and analysing what’s been happening around us for the past 10-20 years, it’s clear that we’re in a Nazi Germany situation. And when fascism will be here, we will ask “how did that happen?”
The future looks bleak.
No probs! There are hundreds of books written about fascism, and after reading a few of them, you realize these people are completely ignorant of the history of western colonialism, and unable to say how fascism differs essentially from any colonialist practices. Its such a heterodox term that its almost completely pointless to talk about… ask 10 people to define fascism and you’ll get 10 definitions.
I’d read Aime Cesare - Discourse on Colonialism, its short, and it’s the source of this idea. Not a single person who has tried to define fascism has been able to come up with a differentiator from previous colonialist practices (other than the color line).
There’s also a good chapter on Zak Cope - Divided World Divided class, on Germany, where he explains contrary to the popular “leftist opinion” that fascism was bad for the working classes of Germany, that no, actually the people of germany vastly benefited from its colonialism of eastern and western europe.
All right, thanks! I’ll check those out. On a related note, is Trotsky’s Fascism: What It Is and How To Fight It worth my time?
I’d say so yes, it has a better class analysis of fascism than you get with most liberal dissections.
