In this documentary, Dr. Michael Parenti defines fascism, describes its characteristics, and explains the role fascism plays in serving the rational interest...
fascism is capitalism in crisis. it’s what happens when further profit cannot be squeezed further by cutting wages and raising prices.
But capitalism is most simply the freedom to do with your money as you wish with no restrictions whatsoever.
for the corporation-owning class, yes. but that’s not a good thing. they mostly use it to buy politicians so their corporations can fuck the rest of us over.
In pure capitalism, there’s nothing you can buy from the politicians. But the more socialist a government becomes, the more worthwhile it is to buy politicians.
Remove power from the government and you’ll get corporations out of lobbying.
In pure capitalism, there’s nothing you can but from the politicians.
Let me ask you a question. Was America a capitalist country from 1776 to 1860? Was it? And therefore, are slavery and capitalism compatible with each other? I’m asking you because I think you and I (and most of hexbear) have different answers to that question.
It was somewhat capitalist but with several issues that were anti-capitalism.
Slavery of the kind that America engaged in is inherently anti-capitalist. Indentured servitude would be compatible though.
There was a struggle of the Federal Government regulating gold and silver, central banking, etc. Eventually the Federal Government won full control over that in 1913.
Any political stance that’s not progressive, socialist, or communist hive-mind is not really welcome on Lemmy it seems. I’ll engage in more friendly places on the internet.
In pure capitalism, the politicians are the ones that deploy the armed forces that allows you to maintain your property claims. There is every reason to buy them off.

can’t buy politicians if there are no corporations

There is nothing inherently anti-capitalist about slavery, it is entirely compatible with it.
Can you describe you political ideology in detail to me?
I think they’re just figuring it out as they go, lmao

How can we know that if you wont openly state your ideology? Come on, say it! If you can’t, then clearly your ideas arent worth taking seriously.
K, troll.
