R. Palme Dutt, “Fascism and Social Revolution: A Study of the Economics and Politics of the Extreme Stages of Capitalism in Decay” (3rd ed.)

Just incredible. The BEST book on fascism I’ve ever read. And indeed one of the best books I’ve ever read in my life. #RPalmeDutt, #antifascism #marxism

Cover of the book “Fascism and Social Revolution” by R. Palme Dutt (3rd Revised Edition, 1935)

Posted this two month ago. Some of its already come true. #CompradorCarney has already surrendered to the #TangerineDon and declared the economic struggle against U.S. imperialism over by halting retaliatory tarrifs.

Watch to see what the @liberalca.bsky.social does next to working people.

Hey #Canada and #Canadian #working-class! Rich comprador banker P.M. @mark-carney.bsky.social wants you to think he’s “elbows up” 🤦🏻‍♂️against the #fascist U.S. President, administration and the rich US ruling class he works for. My predictions for #CompradorCarney and his fall budget.

I’m happy to report in my experience you speak largely for yourself and nihilists like you. For most ideological nihilists it’s a cynical posture. Nihilism is a choice to comply with the ruling class by declaring all values equally worthless (except ruthless power). It’s not true.

Yet Canadian PM #CompradorCarney feels it’s now time to comply w the fascists & #TangerineDon & just “negotiate”. That is … sign whatever agreements are put in front of him as long as the rich Canadian capitalist ruling class can wet its beak a little from the stolen wealth on its way south.

Instead, a reckless and arbitrary show of #fascist force the White House ordered the Marines … who chose to comply … to fire live artillery rounds from the beaches, over Interstate 5 into Camp Pendleton, officially closing I-5 & Amtrak between LA & San Diego, during this day of mass protests.

Reckless show of US #fascist force to intimidate Californians. Planned by the fascist White House to closing a vital connection to LA and San Diego during a day of mass protests.

Fascism rules by spectacle, fear and misappropriation of public infrastructure.

Interstate 5 closes through Camp Pendleton, traffic backs up in Southern California as military set to fire artillery

California will close part of Interstate 5 today after military officials confirmed Saturday that live-fire artillery rounds will be shot over the freeway during a Marine Corps event.

…

Lenin was echoing Marx (1871):

“The oppressed are allowed once every few years to decide which particular representatives of the oppressing class shall represent and repress them.”

Never forget this. It’s the nature of our U.S. capitalist democracy to exploit and oppress us.

Lenin (1917) said it best:

“To decide once every few years which member of the wealthy ruling class is to repress and crush the people through parliament—such is the real essence of bourgeois capitalist parliamentarism.”

Then educate them comrade. Raise their class consciousness. Cynical nihilism isn’t “resistance”. It’s complicity. Even the ancient Greeks knew. They barfed up the first cynics for the same reason. It’s the cheapest form of defense of the dictatorial ruling class. Unpaid labor of misanthropes.

In case you haven’t figured this out already. The #ACP (American “Communist” Party) is NOT socialist nor communist. The economics don’t line up. It’s a toxic shitshow of loud-mouth asshole men who’re more accurately described as #fascist. Special asshole prize for “Haz”.

A memorial site has preserved this place in #Mauthausen, Austria. The “stairs of death” remain a symbol of the horror of labor under #Nazi #fascism & the cruel economic logic of monopoly capitalism is deep crisis. Genocide is part of that vicious capitalist logic.

When pressure mounts from economic & political crises piling up, capitalism & the wealthy capitalist ruling class react in a predictable fashion. Fascism ✅. And militarized imperialist rhetoric as a prelude to war ✅. Everyone is an enemy. Except themselves.

So true! Lenin & the bolsheviks understood how to handle both the old monarchical rent-seeking landowner aristocracy (the “King”) AND the czar’s reactionary allies the capitalist bourgeoisie & their liberal parliamentary phony democracy. Too bad U.S. “no kings” types don’t get it!

What does this “prove” except that CNN is a fascist media organ helping the Trump fascist dictatorship by ratting on a currently watered down liberal progressive. And that this guy once was really based and now he’s probably kinda cringe. Sorry … Marxist Dad is older and these terms ???

If anything, his posts make him seem better than he is. The problem is that he worked for Constellis (Blackwater). There's a difference between rhetoric and actions. If you believe that all cops are bastards, why would you ever become one yourself?

A Marine veteran turned oyster farmer who is now a rising Democratic Senate candidate once called himself a “communist,” dismissed “all” police as bastards, and said rural White Americans “actually are” racist and stupid, according to deleted social media posts seen by CNN. https://cnn.it/47sXon6

The fascist Zionists in Gaza couldn’t be stopped by actual human babies right in front of them! And since the U.S. fascists violently serve the same monopoly capitalist imperialism & have, ultimately no shame at all, when ICE is confronted only by the absurd, this tactic won’t work for long.
