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 [email protected]. 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.

USSR hahaha Brandishing a sword of all things against an animate skeleton who has no more flesh to lacerate or blood to bleed is kind of a fitting image for the fascist delusion that overwhelming brutality will crush an oppressed people's will. The colonized are wishfully depicted as dead, but frustratingly still walk, refusing to stay buried, their will to live after being stripped of so much a haunting mystery to the fascist cowards. Refusing to engage the mystery, they can only project their own fears - they surely sense that if their colonial grab fails, a sword would be fine tool to cut away the slave plantations and egg monopolies on which they've gorged.
