"Fascism never went away because it is a tool of capitalist oligarchy always kept in reserve in case “liberalism” fails to control the population with its more subtle methods. As Gramsci so well identified, the utilization of a hegemonic culture to control the population does not mean that the state and oligarch weapons of coercion and violence are put away. They are always kept available for use, and many times used in specific instances requiring a “heavier hand”.
It is sad that so many of the “alternative” commentators mistake the Trumps, the Melonis, the Farages, the Weidels for agents of real change. But that is the genius of the oligarchy, it excels at co-option, corruption and misdirection to keep the eyes of the working majority away from the greatest problem in society; themselves. And also to mislead the majority into serving the interests of the small oligarch minority."
You’re technically correct. The best kind of correct.
Neoliberal is just easier for the average reader to understand.
I think “there is no neo-liberalism” is a good agitprop line to use on radlibs. Tons of people will agree that neo-liberalism is bad and many could even accept the explanation that neo-liberalism is just fascism. Then you hit them with the idea that fascism co-exists with liberalism under the rule of capitalism. Twist their “horseshoe theory” brain worm into a “number 6 on its side.” All that is left then is liberal-fascism and communism.
I think a big part of agiprop needs to be to kill the myth of “centerism” and “ballance.”
“The way I see it there are 2
classes, the proletariat and the bourgeoise.ideologies, communism and fascism And anybody not on one side is on the other.”
