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.

And then when I went to the Republican ones, and I talked to Latvians and Lithuanians and so forth, they just started talking openly about the connection between the Republican Club, the Coalition for Peace through Strength, the ABN [Antibolshevik Bloc of Nations], and the World Anticommunist League. They all—it was all umbrella, the same people.

And so, I said [that] this story is going to take a while to tell, because I wanted to cover everything, and… make sure they—they were used to operating without anybody questioning who[m] they were. They were taken at face value. You know. ‘I hate the Soviet Union.’ ‘Well, you hate the Soviet Union, so we don’t ask any other questions’, you know. Right.

[…]

[A]fter the election of 1988 was over, the New York Times published an opinion piece [that] I wrote on this subject, about the [Fascist] wing of the Republican Party, and not one newspaper picked the story up, and there was no reporting on it ever. And… 60 Minutes, which was a major television investigative reporting program, started working on it, but White House pressure was put on them to kill the story and they did.
