    I agree. It took Elon Musk Sieg Heiling for them to be all ‘oh my goodness fascism is what capitalism becomes’

    But they have no material basis for any of their conclusion, that’s literally it; they explicitly state that the richest man being a Nazi means all capitalism tends towards fascism which is an incredible display of screwing up the entire calculation but getting the right answer in spite of that.

      Not that many of us came to the left starting with material analysis. It’s often real-life conditions or even just one symbolic event that drive people to start looking deeper.
