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.

Unfortunately, a great deal of the materials on this subject matter prefer to focus on its presumed legal importance rather than the victims or even the oppressors in the situation. For us socialists, the claim that the SCOTUS’s ruling in favor of the Illinois neofascists set a valuable precedent and prevented a slippery slope into government tyranny is laughworthy. These were the same judges who a few months before outlawed the miners’ right to strike on the grounds of the Taft‐Hartley Act, and a pile of FBI documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act revealed that from 1953 to 1959 ACLU officials had been secretly cooperating with the FBI’s witchhunt of ‘Communists and subversives’ within the organization.
