I'd say that historically fascism is a somewhat nebulous term that tries to cover a few disparate movements, but generally speaking has been a capitalist response to a rising domestic communist movement, and so in Marxism has a very specific/scientific meaning in that regard. So without that movement in the United States currently existing Trump doesn't qualify in my opinion.

Clara Mattei (author of The Capital Order) has become the Director for Heterodox Economics in Tulsa Oklahoma, and last weekend they had their inaugural conference.

Michael Roberts covers it in more detail here.

Sad that they don't just make it a straight up school of Marxism, but I guess that's probably not an easy sell to donor-alumni. But at least one cool thing came from the conference so far: a database tracking the rate of profit in different countries/sectors.

Really hope they aren't trying to say that linguistic influence from other cultures makes a language "cucked"

It's not a whole book, but I would refer you to chapter 4 of Michael Roberts book on capital crises and profitability. That chapter deals specifically with the commonly defined western neoliberal era. If you like that bit, then I'd recommend the entire thing if you want to know why and how crises are generated as a baked in symptom of capitalism in its search for profitability.

Otherwise, I know David Harvey has a book called a Brief History of Neoliberalism. I read it a few years ago but can't remember enough to specifically recommend it. Worth noting that Harvey doesn't consider himself to technically be a Marxist afaik.

If you're talking about the episode Three Slaps, that was actually based on a real event. (Cw suicide, abuse)

I would be surprised if prices went down significantly, seems like the oil corps operate as an unofficial cartel. There's not much compelling them to cut prices unless there's a huge drop in demand like a second pandemic, or some kind of government intervention (lol). There's still much oil storage capacity left in Alberta.

At what level of Rule of Law™ (sponsored by Checks and Balances®) does the defendant get to sentence the judge/jury?

how can you be fairly compensated if you don't control the surplus value you have created?

also yeah it does sound like slavery, Marx wrote a lot about this thing called wage-slavery.
