"Fascism is a violent, anti-democratic, nationalist political ideology used to manipulate an oppressed Working Class in a capitalist society, giving them a sense of historical superiority, and deflecting the cause of economic suffering from capitalism to a designated inferior “other.”.
Of course there are also those who think fascism is when the absolutely batshit crazy clusterfuckery of racist/rapist billionaire conmen gone wild with their legions of fanboi stormtrooper backwoods cousinfuckering cult minion neo-Nazi cosplaying Confederate wannabes come to power.
Yes… but fascism is so much more..."
(I'm sorry for the video glitches on this one. I had a bad cable.)
"The only “every man” who is actually “for himself” is a hermit.
Stinky, hairy, and whatever they are making all by themselves I doubt you want to buy any."
"Yes - some people are just straight-up fool Fools -
people who just enjoy punching down, who are happy to set fire to the house they live in if it means those they hate will burn with them.
There are those who firmly believe the worst thing that happened to the United States was the defeat of the Confederacy, or women gaining the right to vote, or that Black History Month is why their factory job moved offshore, or that their economic struggles will be solved if women don’t have sovereignty over their own bodies.
I’m not talking about those people.
They’re just fool Fools...."
"Whenever some extraordinarily counterrevelotionary corporation wants to sell the slightly newer version of the same old shit they slap the word “revolutionary” on it - because they know that the average person wants to be part of something that will change their lives, and the world.."
"Starbucks is a profitable coffee-selling corporation, but if some laborer didn’t pick the coffee beans, load the coffee beans, unload the coffee beans, deliver the coffee beans, roast the coffee beans, grind the coffee beans, or steam that coffee up to make hot, overpriced bean water,
Starbuck investors would never make a profit.
Labor is the essential ingredient to profit.
So why aren’t we all proud Laborists, rather than wannabe Capitalists?"
":The citizens of the Capitalist powers were told all this death and mayhem was necessary to save those poor people from the leaders those poor people had elected, and that was enough.
Votes, shmotes! Democracy, shmamocrasy! Freedom, Shmedom!
And if we had to cut off the commie head of their country a dozen times, elected or not, we would."
"History is full of these flashy con men, fleecing their flock, while saying they alone have some revealed truth.
A lot of times they end up in jail, but not always.
Sometimes they die, and take a thousand of their followers with them, like with Jim Jones.
Sometimes they destroy their country with a devastating war, murdering tens of millions, like Hitler.
And sometimes…
They’re just a guy who inherited a shitload of money,
Got a reality television show,
And then become president of the most powerful, well-armed nation in history.
Like, oh I don’t know…. Donald J. Trump..."
"What if instead of an average - heighted but brilliant meglomaniac like Napoleon...
What if you had a six foot - two inch, repeatedly bankrupt, rapist racist
socio-pathetic convicted felon who is clearly more interested in fondling cheeseburgers than reading the Bill of Rights, and who couldn’t comprehend the historical importance of democracy if all the constitutions in the world were bound together and dropped on him from a great height -
Which now that I say it outloud I realize how much I’d pay to see that -
What if, instead of a stupid, but brilliant, Napoleon, a bad choice was made by A Stupid...but with just more stupid?
Someone like, oh, I don’t know… like Donald J. Trump."
"The goal of any business is to create and sell the cheapest possible product, for the highest possible price, so they can return the greatest possible profit for their investors. They don’t give a damn about the product or the customer. It’s just about the profit.
That’s it.. That’s corporate efficiency.
We’ve got quintessentially evil Businessmaniac Felonious Musk calling federal employees and asking them if they were “efficient” last week.
What were they doing to earn their government paycheck?
What were they doing?
Keeping the wheels of our government turning, ya crackhead!"
"Remember Enron? The pack of Texas-sized dickwads who manipulated California’s energy market, ripped off their own workers retirement funds, and giggled like little tickled swine when they heard about grandmothers freezing in winter?
Why did grown men think that was okay?
Because the philosophy of Capitalism told them that anything done to get a profit was okie dokie.
The cruelty and criminality of Enron was not the exception of Capitalism-
Enron is the rule."
"If, however, you must work -
if you are someone else’s employee in any way to pay your bills - you are a worker. If you own a business Where you must work to cover your basic living expenses, you are a worker/owner.
If you own your labor and can take it from place to place like an actor, a gardener, a plumber? You are an artisan/worker. Independent contractor? Worker.
Doctor, lawyer, butcher, baker, crotchless lacy panty maker? Workers.
Even the cops that beat up strikers for striking are themselves workers - while simultaneously being the foot soldiers of capitalist and fascist oppression.
Worker, worker, worker."
"The CEO’s and entrepreneurs and managers -
They have convinced so many of us that They are the ones doing the real hard work that keeps America great,
And that the farmworkers, and construction workers, and nurses, and teachers,
Those whose muscles hurt at the end of the day, who gets their hands dirty -
You know -
The people without whom we would starve to death, or bleed to death, or be naked, cold, and as dumb as bricks -
That those workers are beneath contempt, that they are lazy, entitled, and a drain our society. "
"When people think “dictator” they picture a guy - it’s normally a guy - wearing sunglasses, in a gaudy military uniform - with way too many medals, standing behind a podium, or on a balcony, waving at a parade of tanks.
There are some variations.
Sometimes they wear robes, sometimes they wear kaftans, and sometimes they wear blue business suits with red ties, and little flag pins.
Different costumes, but if you have a leader waving at a parade of tanks
or who wants to wave at a parade of tanks
you might have yourself a dictator."
"The Police State wants you to feel perpetually endangered not just by traitors, and not just by the State itself, but by everyone you know. The Police State wants you so afraid of everyone you will break any bond of family or friendship, to turn in anyonefor doing anything -
Before they turn you in.
The goal of a Police State is to make all of us both fear - and be - the police.
But how, you may ask, could some, oh I don’t know - citrus colored business clown with a mushroom shaped penis and a history of failure and felonies convince an entire nation to agree to such a self-oppression? Well it all starts decades earlier, when people who don’t get the whole “constitutional government Of, By, and For The People” thing get elected to run a constitutional government Of, By, and most importantly FOR The People.
Who doesn’t get that kinda government? Tyrants and Businessmen."
“People will accept being oppressed as long as they think somebody else - somebody they’ve been told is a dangerous traitor, is being oppressed more then they are.
And don’t get me wrong - there is real oppression, but I’m talking about the manipulative crap that convinces people that punching down is how they can fight their own oppression, rather than punching up."
"Donald Trump is not a church-going guy... But he does have a faith. A profound faith. An unshakable faith...
In whatever his last thought was.
Whatever lonely thought wanders into the abandoned basement of his mind...
And not just what he sees on FOX, no...
With Trump that thought could also be whatever he would like to be the case. For Trump it's not about truth, or the reality of our world, no - A thought of his is more like a wish, or a magic spell... he has a thought, and by thinking it, for him, it becomes real:
Immigrants are eating the dogs..."
