The richest man on earth, at the inauguration of the president of the united states, threw up a fascist salute.

Call it a "Roman Salute" or a Nazi Salute, but fascism is fascism.

If Musk didn't express prior fascist sympathies, I might have dismissed it.

However, given the context of the wider situation, it is totally not able to be explained away, and it is obvious that this man is a Nazi sympathizer.

America is toast. There is a rapist and his favorite Nazi billionaire running the US government right now.

To all the people outside of the US, let this be your warning. Stay vigilant.

This is the ultimate "fuck you" to MLK, tbh.

Today, Racism, Militarism, and Economic Exploitation have won the biggest victory that they have won since the Second World War.

I bet Robert E Lee is looking up from his toasty spot in hell rn, and he is grinning.

The reason neofascism won was obvious. I would argue that it was the inevitable result of the Red Scare, the implementation of neoliberal economic policy after the collapse of the USSR, and the tendency of capitalism towards crisis. Let me explain here:

The Red Scare served to embolden capitalist hegemony in the system, and discourage even the most banal social democratic policies from being implemented. Without the destruction of working class politics, the neoliberal consensus and the pervasive hegemonic concept of "capitalist realism" would never have taken shape. This had a global effect, rather than a merely localized effect, due to US imperialism

After the failure of the USSR and the lethal "success" of the shock doctrine in the former Eastern bloc, the entire Western world jumped at the opportunity to double down those concepts as well, accelerating a tendency towards austerity and deregulation that started in the 70s. Those policies caused a horrific decline in living standards and health services, while causing a dramatic spike in inequality. This set the stage for both Putinism and Trumpism

And, last but not least, capitalism itself is an unstable system, and it is essentially impossible to stop it from crashing, taking all of us with it.

When the oligarchs spend billions of dollars to rig the political system against working class interests, hollow out our institutions for their personal gain, and convince hundreds of millions of people that fascism is the only viable alternative to the status quo, then of course fascism will be its inevitable outcome.

America was ratfucked with Chicago School bullshit like Eastern Europe and Latin America were, and we are now paying the price.

The imperial boomerang is a bitch, innit?
