Garcia made a positive reference to Libs of TikTok, the pseudonym of Chaya Raichik, who posts anti-LGBTQ+ commentary on mainstream platforms including Substack and Twitter. He also lauded the activities and beliefs of the white nationalist and antisemite Nick Fuentes, and highlighted more than one of his appearances on easily accessible online talk shows.

I hesitated to share this since it’s probable that you already know about it, but one fact that the media gloss over is his military background: a typical feature among fascists. Aside from being petty‐bourgeois, having military training was another risk factor, and many fascists (including Adolf Schicklgruber hisself) had both:

The banner of National Socialism was raised by upstarts from the lower and middle commanding ranks of the old army. Decorated with medals for distinguished service, commissioned and noncommissioned officers could not believe that their heroism and sufferings for the Fatherland had not only come to naught, but also gave them no special claims to gratitude. Hence their hatred of the revolution and the proletariat.

Admittedly I myself haven’t looked, but it’s probable that antisocialists (e.g. Dinesh D’Souza) have already tried spinning him off as a ‘leftist’ because of his use of a Russian social network or other irrelevancies. Logically, that would imply that, for the first time in history, a ‘leftist’ was enjoying blatant rightist crap like ‘Libs of TikTok’ and identifying with right‐wing death squads, but time and again antisocialists have proven willing to disregard common sense if that fails to serve their agenda.

Always remember: everything is socialism.

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.
