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 !latestagecapitalism@lemmygrad.ml. 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.

Operation Gladio was also used to maintain [neo]imperialism in the global South, and, you know, one example of that—again, I have to credit Asa Winstanley—is that the right‐wing dictatorship of António Salazar in Portugal allowed Portugal to be a major Gladio base, which, um…which was called—it had its own army called ‘Aginter Press’, which trained terrorists for assassination operations, targeting liberation struggles in Portugal’s African colonies. So this went beyond just what was happening in Europe.

(Admittedly, some of what this video shares is nothing new, but having a reminder every now and then is fine.)

Lately NATO has downplayed the terror and violence and their involvement in Operation Gladio, and all the CIA and reich-wing neoliberal bootlickers are spewing the same nonsense "we needed a stay behind army to prevent those dirty Russians from liberating- I mean, destroying our freedom!"
