In Europe it’s been about “protecting democracy”.

Who knew 1984 would rear its ugly head wearing the sash of democracy (tons of leftist theorists knew)

Both are the party of the pedophile. Let’s not kid ourselves, Republicans and Dems have been separated only by livery.

I mean he iiiis annoying to listen to

Tape storage is probably even cheaper and more space efficient

Antifa is as old as fascism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-fascism

It’s just one warehouse. Everybody, calm down.

Since the seventies at the latest. Unions were unified and synchronized with parties post-WWII, workers’ demands reconciled with those of capital. That was originally the project of il Duce, but we took it out of his hands greedily.

We could do fascism better than him and what is more fascist than to peg the worth of individuals, the economy, to that of a not necessarily racialised abstract people of a Nation? Now anyone can become a fascist by subordinating themselves to the state. A German is anyone who is a good citizen to the German state, Japan and the US are the same.

In Benito’s words: “Race? It is a feeling, not a reality: ninety-five percent, at least, is a feeling. Nothing will ever make me believe that biologically pure races can be shown to exist today… National pride has no need of the delirium of race.”

The point about capitalism has always been being able to live off of property without moving a finger and securing that position with all that you have. What you are seeing is are the dynamics of capitalist class society. The numbers game is itself nothing new, nor anything that has especial depth.

We choose capitalism and we could choose not to do capitalism. So to capital, which comes from this social structure, you are like an abstraction, only because it exists in an less concrete way because it needs intangible property relations. To a fish you are trapped in air while you view fish as being trapped in water.

But the point of the economic critiques known from history is to show exactly this:

There is the numbers economy, the stock market, taxes and money. There is culture, there are political systems (liberalism, fascism) and political skirmishes. Then there is what actually exists in a very clear and tangible way. Schools, cars, machinery, fields of corn, people, their relations and so on.

One creates the other. The abstractions arising from the soil of the “real world” can not strike back and make the real world abstract. That is impossible. Capitalism and capital is not a demon that keeps you from undertaking modifications on the structures that birth it. It possesses no special or poetic qualities.
