Capitalism in Decay

Fascism is capitalism in decay. As with anticommunism in general, the ruling class has oversimplified this phenomenon to the point of absurdity and teaches but a small fraction of its history. This is the spot for getting a serious understanding of it (from a more proletarian perspective) and collecting the facts that contemporary anticommunists are unlikely to discuss.

Posts should be relevant to either fascism or neofascism, otherwise they belong in [email protected]. If you are unsure if the subject matter is related to either, share it there instead. Off‐topic posts shall be removed.

No capitalist apologia or other anticommunism. No bigotry, including racism, misogyny, ableism, heterosexism, or xenophobia. Be respectful. This is a safe space where all comrades should feel welcome.

For our purposes, we consider early Shōwa Japan to be capitalism in decay.

One of the first articles I ever wrote was about Diana Vynohradova (née Kamlyuk), “a sieg‐heiling neo‐Nazi decorated with white supremacist tattoos.” Zelensky awarded Vynohradova, a leading member of Right Sector, the Order of Bohdan Khmelnytsky, which was created in 1995 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the defeat of [the Third Reich] in World War II.

On the third day of “Euromaidan” protests that began in November 2013, Vynohradova “warned” Ukrainians “not to give in to supplications from the [insert slur here].” According to Zaborona, a Ukrainian media outlet,

In the early 2000s, Kamlyuk and a group of friends attacked a Nigerian citizen, kicked him, and her friend stabbed him with a knife. The Nigerian died of his injuries. When asked about the reasons for the attack, Diana’s friend replied: “I don’t like [insert slur here].”

Kamlyuk was sentenced to 4.5 years in prison. Behind bars, she wrote poems for [a neofascist band], and when she was released from prison, she recited an anti‐Semitic poem on the Maidan stage.

The Volunteer Ukrainian Corps (DUK), the paramilitary wing of Right Sector, formed a brigade in the Ukrainian army last year. The 67th Separate Mechanized Brigade “DUK” is now the military wing of the neofascist Right Sector. On March 14, Zelensky awarded over a hundred people from this far‐right brigade, so we are just scratching the surface.

(Emphasis added.)


Events that happened today (July 30):

1863: Henry Ford, the bourgeois fascist who inspired Adolf Schicklgruber, marketed vehicles to the Third Reich, and received an Iron Cross for his services, darkened the Earth with his presence.
1920: Walter Schuck, Axis lieutenant and aviator, was born.
1945: The Axis submarine I‐58 sunk the USS Indianapolis, causing 883 casualties. Most died during the following four days, until an aircraft noticed the survivors.
1997: Bảo Đại, Axis collaborator and Vietnam’s final emperor, perished.
2013: Berthold Beitz, a moderate fascist and industrialist (who shielded several hundred Jews from early death), expired.

We are socialists, who gives a shit about national freedom unless it’s anti-colonial or in defense of socialism
