  • I’m sure this is tongue in cheek. But for those that don’t understand; fascism is not to be confused with socialism because of “state ownership”.

    Socialism isn’t when “the government owns stuff”. Historically fascist have used the power of the state to ensure the corporate interests are met. That is what is being done currently.

    This is not a “state ownership” that gives control to the working class. This is a use of your tax dollars to ensure the value of a private corporation increases. This is a common and historical part of fascist movements. It is a move that confuses those uneducated in class conflict.

    If you are not looking at actions like this from a lense of class conflict you will be confused. It’s important to understand who benefits from these types of things when “the government does stuff” and what class interest are being enforced.

    If you grew up in a world that has only ever been neoliberalism (as most of us have) it can be confusing. You have not been given the tools to understand the class conflict. Because it is beneficial to the ruling class that you do not understand, or even become aware of these contractions in the first place.
