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.

Description: A European man’s arm holds up a sword, implicitly likening the Axis to the Crusaders, and behind it are three Baltic flags and two other European ones: the flag of Lithuania, the flag of Latvia, the flag of the Third Reich, a flag of Finland, and the flag of Estonia. In the background is an unarmed Bolshevik skeleton (equating Bolshevism with death) looking at the sword with concern, almost trembling before it.

Did these posters ever work on anyone? Like, someone who was on the fence (but also wasn't like a peasant farmer who wouldn't really be exposed to posters I guess) but after seeing a couple of these thought "yeah I'll volunteer for the SS, what's the worse that can happen"

If the only thing you know about Bolsheviks is that they are spooky skeletons, you might be convinced.

Frankly, probably.

Yeah, look at your slop right-wing propaganda today.

Given that Nazis failed to organize Lithuanian SS units, no.

I doubt they were effective on anyone who wasn't already sympathetic to the Nazi cause.
