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.

In a weird way, it forms a sort of "inclusivity" that is fiercely defended. It works to keep the worst out, but we do make mistakes. Even the best immune systems do that. At the same time, this does create a good safe-space for one, for two it also creates a sort of "cryptic appeal" that I've noticed amongst newer members. I felt the same.
Seeing the "cryptic appeal" was that there are people so passionate, so caring and quickly take up to this place was inspiring for me as someone who's been a commie but never heard of this place. To newer people, I can see the appeal; if they aren't already poisoned by propaganda.
A lot of these libs really do be drive-bying. Like I said, it's just so hard to determine who is interested in actually discussing anything or just leaving a shitty comment. I hear you though, no worries.
