    You know, the last time fascism got a big foothold in the world, many tens of millions of people died, but then it was stopped because there were still powerful opponents of fascism who eventually managed to stamp it out. This time around, it seems all the world’s most powerful governments are going to be fascist. Russia will be fascist, France, Germany and Italy will be fascist, the USA will be fascist, Canada is about to lurch to the far right, and Nigel Farage is taking Musk’s dollars to fund a fascist takeover in the UK. Now is the time to organize an international popular resistance and start properly fighting against these fascists. We have to get serious about actually stopping it. What organizations are at the vanguard of this today?

      Of the western countries that fought fascism, most were flirting with it before the war. Certainly the UK, US and France had their fascist sympathizers. Germany just went a little too fast and the frog jumped out of the boiling water.

      Hopefully it’ll go similarly this time: one nation goes full nazi and the rest pull the breaks.

        If Japan hadn’t attacked Pearl Harbor there was a depressingly real chance America would have joined the Axis…
