‘Lemmygrad’s resident expert on fascism’ — GrainEater, 2024
‘The political desperadoes and ignoramuses, who say they would “Rather be Dead than Red”, should be told that no one will stop them from committing suicide, but they have no right to provoke a third world war.’ — Morris Kominsky, 1970
“Fascism is Imperialism/Colonialism turned inward.” hit the mark pretty well
Yasamin Jameh (the author) almost mentioned that work of pseudohistory when she wrote ‘now widely‐debunked myth was that homosexuals themselves were behind the rise of the Nazi movement’. Unlike Lively, Jameh discusses the matter of homosexual fascists in good faith and actually attempts to explain why some gay men sided with their oppressors.
I have to say that I am pleasantly surprised by the feedback that this thread has received. I was thinking that some would have been irritated to see this subject since it was an embarrassing time in LGBT+ history, but discomforting others wasn’t my goal. Proletarians, and perhaps especially LGBT+ ones, should beware of queer folks who either join or try to win over their oppressors. That doesn’t mean that heterosexism or cissexism against them is acceptable, but they don’t deserve unconditional support either.
My appreciation for the Jewish community is what inspires me to carry out this work.
Corporate America could have been an Axis power with how much it supported the Fascists, and the neutrality between Berlin and Moscow was nothing compared to the alliance between Europe’s Fascist empires.
I heard a rumour that a settler wanted to set up a statue of Adolf Schicklgruber there because of his régime’s contributions to Zionism. I don’t know if anybody seriously suggested that, but it does sound plausible.
Apart from driving over and crushing their victims, the practice that earned the Blackshirts notoriety in Italy during Mussolini’s rise to power in the early 1920s had been the killing of opponents by dragging them to their death. Given the numerous lorries available to them in Addis Ababa, both from the military and the [Fascist] government transport company, it was perhaps inevitable that they would use the same method during the massacre of Addis Ababa.
Kirubel Beshah, an Ethiopian witness who had been a student at the Teferi Mekonnin School and who after Liberation would teach mathematics there, reported, ‘Ethiopian blood flowed like water everywhere. Saddest of all was that at first they tied dead bodies to the back of their trucks, and pulled them along the road while shouting and singing, but later, they also started to tie the living to their trucks, so as not to waste bullets. It was very disturbing to see human bodies being torn to pieces alive, by stones and bushes.’²⁹

I found a hate subreddit where photos of homeless people and their camps are posted, and referred to as vermin, etc.
You mean a Zionist subreddit?
Behold, a pale horse: /r/PortlandCriddlers.
…
Is that a Zionist subreddit?
In a statement to the JTA, the ADL said the Wikipedia decision was part of a “campaign to delegitimize the ADL.”
How amusing, as if there were some shadowy cabal masterminding a coordinated attempt to bring down their memetic organization.
The only ‘campaign to delegitimize the ADL’ is its own kamikaze mission to mindlessly recategorize all opposition to a crappy régime as antisemitism while leaving actual victims of white supremacy in the dust. I predict that the ADL is either going to fall into obscurity or outright vanish after the last apartheid régime collapses.
Would somebody care to explain to me how anybody (Jewish or otherwise) is supposed to feel safe in this piss bucket? The ‘safety’ is supposed to be the neocolony’s selling point and yet I have no clue how the hell it’s safe.

The very fact that he is bragging in public about his ‘ties to the DoD’ makes me doubt that he has any; this is the first time in my life that I have seen anybody do that. Would the Department of Defense want any of its interests or employés bragging about their international exploits? I mean, for fuck’s sake, I’ve taken surveys that’ve threatened me with legal action if I talked about something as insignificant as prepublished advertisements.
I still can’t believe that they’re on the market. They look like rejected concept cars.

Greg Doucette is the only conservative whom I respect, and even he agrees that the conservative media in general are worthless.
I would argue that calling Imperial America fascist is an exaggeration, but that hardly makes it less worthy of our opposition. In Fascist Italy, there was a systematic crackdown on the trade unions, a gradual elimination of opposition parties (starting with socialist ones, which were to be smashed rather than absorbed), a gradual deprecation of the pseudodemocracy, and the ruling class promoted a predominantly petty bourgeois and violently anticommunist movement (Fascism) into an institutional power without even pretending to consult the masses. Imperial America’s suppression of the lower classes has not become that intense (at least not yet).
Michael Parenti laid down a good explanation of Fascism, and he derived much of his theory from Daniel Guerin’s excellent Fascism and Big Business. If you want to study Fascism seriously, that is the book that you want to start out with.
Briefer, communist explanations for Fascism include Clara Zetkin’s The Struggle Against Fascism and Leon Trotsky’s pamplet Fascism: What it is and how to fight it. (I know that you’ll all roll your eyes at me for recommending one of Trotsky’s works—and I do agree that this one is imperfect, to put it succinctly—but I doubt that you’ll strongly disagree with his summary of Fascism either.) For a moderner explanation, I recommend Bes D. Marx’s ‘Why Did Mussolini Move From Marxism To Fascism?’
My own summary is that Fascism was the militant and predominantly petty bourgeois movement that the haute‐bourgeoisie promoted to institutional power to preserve and strengthen capitalism at all costs.
