  • Sure, but let’s call it what it is: fascism. We need to stop inventing fancy names for things that have existed for a century.

    There is a difference, but largely in the industry whose capital backs this new fascism. In the 1920s and ‘30s, the dominant / ascendant form of capital was manufacturing capital, so those were the biggest backers of German fascism (both in Germany and the US). In our time in the US, the ascendant capital is big tech, but most of their assets are in cloud computing. This will inform the face it puts forward, so it does change the modes and styles of its propaganda, but you best believe the same fascist goals are at the heart of it all. So I say: call it fascism.

    If you’re on the US like me, it’ll take you and I out with it. Worth it in the long-run, of course, but as always, we hardly ever gain anything when wealthy win, but boy are we made to suffer when they lose.

    As someone else said, more succinctly: privatize the profits, socialize the losses.
