The
nation has seen a rise in white nationalism between 2015 and 2017, in
the growth of fascist movements, etc. But what needs to be addressed
is the current situation. It's been over a week since Trump was sworn
in as president, and we've seen some drastic and scary executive
changes.
Not
only have the liberals, who are caught up in their pacifism and
self-righteousness, been protecting the Nazi Richard Spencer, with
their “He deserves to speak his opinion” rhetoric, there are
events taking place with the entirety of the Nazi movement, i.e. the
“Alt-Right” movement. Not to mention the recent actions made by
our president and his GOP lapdogs.
First,
let us address the protectionism of Richard Spencer. Let it be clear,
that giving a platform, any platform, to a Nazi who not only supports
what he classifies as, quote on quote “peaceful ethnic cleansing”
and appropriates Nazi propaganda/symbolism, will NEVER turn out good.
But still, the liberals of today like the liberals of the past,
refuse to acknowledge that fascism and Nazism do not fall by written
opposition, or what is true, they don't care about that, nor do their
sympathizers. These same liberals, who watched first hand as the
conservatives completely ignored everything they said, still think
that the right-wing can be reasoned with. If it is difficult to get a
conservative on your side, just imagine the absolute difficulty,
almost impossibility of getting the fascists to side with you! The
fact is, you're playing a game with a group of people who throw the
rule book out the window and do not care about what the Constitution
says, or American values. This is why fascists and Nazis cannot be
talked out of their position, especially in a time that is dire for
our democracy. They must be contained, they must be put into a
constant state of fear, until their grab at power, be it economic or
political power, is futile.
Second,
let us cover the scary events taking place with the “Alt-Right”
movement, which will be referred to as, rightly so, as the Nazi
movement. With the recent punching of Richard Spencer by an Antifa
anarchist member, as I mentioned above, the liberals have stepped in
to protect Spencer, while the Nazis who lick Richard's boots, have
placed a 3k+ bounty on the head on Richard's Antifa puncher. There is
other evidence, like calling for “vigilante militias,” but this
poses two very important questions; first, are these people a threat
to innocent people? Second, why would anyone protect this activity?
The first one is obvious as recent evidence
suggests. Alt Right people pose a threat to innocent people's lives,
the lives of those who disagree with them.
Third,
let us address the recent events taking place in the Trump
presidency. And, most importantly, why the state is an important tool
for the bourgeoisie, be they conservative, liberal, or fascist
bourgeoisie. Within an hour of getting in to office, Trump wasted no
time in completely screwing the working class of this nation. He
signed executive orders to get his policies and beliefs pushed. But
what have the recent events correlated with fascism? Well, that would
be not only appointing Steve Bannon, an anti-Semite who ran a Nazi
media platform called “Breitbart”
to the National Security Council, but also the downgrading of his
military advisers, giving Bannon an extremely high position of power.
Then there are Trump's lapdogs of the GOP having recently been
implementing without review by Congress, policies allowing the law to
either kill protesters, or put them in prison on felony level
charges. Regardless if you classify Trump as a fascist or not, he and
his boot lickers are putting in place the material conditions to give
rise to fascism in the United States.
The
reason the state is important to the fascists, is because, like all
classes, it is a tool for one class to suppress another. For
capitalism, it is a tool for capitalists to suppress workers. For
fascism, which possesses the material conditions of capitalism, it is
the exact same, only with a governmental platform of political
structure intertwined with racial superiority. For socialism, it is
the suppression of capitalists by workers. It is for this reason,
that the state is an important tool for fascists to build their ideal
regime, one of racial superiority.
So
let us review this effectively in a short analysis. Trump and his
lapdogs push for a complete suppression of protesters. The GOP and
their liberal enablers make the U.S. border patrol check peoples
Facebook page to see their political views. Journalists are
imprisoned to silence the press. Pages are removed for women, LGBT+,
HIV/AIDS strategy, climate change, civil rights, AAPL, disability,
and all Spanish translations, and the link to the Judicial Branch
from the White
House website (the Judicial Branch has been returned back to the website.) Muslims are deliberately targeted. An unapologetic
Nazi is given a position of power in government, a position that
allows him to carry out assassinations if he wishes. These are the
highlights.
Not
only has there been a deliberate assault on civil rights and the
working class of this nation, the threat of fascism can be seen on
the horizon. Trump has given the perfect conditions for fascism to
rise, and seize state power to reach their dream of
a
Whites only apartheid state. And the most troubling of this, is the
liberals who wish to act like revolutionaries, while staying passive
towards the state apparatus which carries out these oppressive laws
and policies. To be peaceful to the very arm of the state, the law
enforcement, is to be passive in the face of oppression. Let’s
say, fascism rises in America, and the government has gone full scale
repressive on those they oppose. It will not be random militia's that
assault those who protest in opposition to the new fascist state, it
will be the law enforcement and armed services that are employed and
protect the state. In short, cops are not your friends, especially
when they prefer assaulting and arresting you over standing with you
in solidarity. The fact is, for the liberals, this idea that the
armed wing of the establishment can be its ally, is a silly idealist
fairy tale. I recommend reading “State
and Revolution”
By Lenin to understand this better.
To
oppose fascism, one must oppose the conditions that give rise to it:
capitalism. To oppose fascism in connection to the state, one must
oppose its institutions that protect it. Be part of the solution.
Build the United Front Against Fascism & War!
