“Fascism should rightly be called Corporatism, as it is the merger of corporate and government power.” - Benito Mussolini

I‘m not disagreeing with what you’re trying to convey but still: Mussolini very likely never said/wrote that, seems to have been misattributed. IF he did, the Italian word corporazioni , while technically translating to corporations, doesn’t refer to private companies, which in Italian are normally called società.

Last two flags are in the wrong order. Not just chronologically, but with regards to causation too: the Nazis were heavily influenced by American racists.

An argument could be made for the American traitor flag to be on both sides of the swastika, but that would be pretty messy…

A Stars & Stripes with 48 stars would probably be too subtle…

Hitler spoke about the American south and Jim Crow with reverence, he thought it should be a model for German racist policies.

This was something he wrote about in Mein Kampf.

Greater than just the South, the eugenics movement in the US in the early 20th century, with forced sterilizations and criminalizing interracial marriage, happened nationally.

Though you don’t need to be capitalist to be racist as fuck. Racism exists all over the world in many different government and economic systems throughout all of human history

Indeed, Chicago, until the 1960’s, was one of the most segregated cities in the USA. Irish, Italians, African Americans, Hispanics, etc…during daylight hours, everything was business, but during sunset, nobody crossed the ethnic and racial lines drawn up by the neighborhoods.

i mean not just the south, the west and midwest too where do u think he got all those ideas about contiguous “living space” and about exterminating the people who already live in the land u want to steel and about consecration camps and reservations that continuously move towards a frontier until the displaced people have nowhere to go, amerikkka from its very inception was the template for nazi germany.

I lived in the Midwest, it’s nothing like that.

That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.

The south literally fought a war (Texas fought 2) to preserve their practices of slavery and genocide.

The Midwest fought, killed, and died to stop them.

It’s valid to point that out, but I think that OP is talking about the modern usage of the Confederate flag, not the original use. At least, it becomes a much more coherent message that way.

Fascism is Capitalism’s immune system, activated when the wealth gap gets too large.

Maybe we shouldn’t be using an economic system whose immune system has historically lead to genocide, especially in an age where nukes are now a thing.

If it’s protecting capitalism, wouldn’t you mean when the wealth gap is too small? As in it is a driving force of the wealth gap?

No, as the Petite Bourgeoisie are proletarianized by the formation of Monopoly Capitalism, the Petite Bourgeoisie aligns with the Bourgeoisie against the Proletariat, who at the time gain class consciousness and are increasingly sympathetic to Socialism and Communism. Fascism is a defense mechanism against Communism.

The CSA precedes the Nazis. In fact, Nazi race laws were partially based on slavery laws from the southern US.

IBM, IG Farben, Coca Cola, Hugo Boss, Volkswagen, Krupp, and many others were just doing regular business. And “privatization” definitely wasn’t something invented by the Nazis. Got it.

I thought it was machine learning to, but I am fairly sure it stands for Marxist Leninist.
