Capitalism in Decay

Fascism is capitalism in decay. As with anticommunism in general, the ruling class has oversimplified this phenomenon to the point of absurdity and teaches but a small fraction of its history. This is the spot for getting a serious understanding of it (from a more proletarian perspective) and collecting the facts that contemporary anticommunists are unlikely to discuss.

Posts should be relevant to either fascism or neofascism, otherwise they belong in !latestagecapitalism@lemmygrad.ml. If you are unsure if the subject matter is related to either, share it there instead. Off‐topic posts shall be removed.

No capitalist apologia or other anticommunism. No bigotry, including racism, misogyny, ableism, heterosexism, or xenophobia. Be respectful. This is a safe space where all comrades should feel welcome.

For our purposes, we consider early Shōwa Japan to be capitalism in decay.

The failure and mockery of “Bitter Harvest” in 2017 appears to have played a role in radicalizing Bryttan. In the following year, he lambasted “Challah-wood” on Facebook and shared an article from the neo-Nazi website “National Vanguard” that described the 1948 romantic comedy “A Foreign Affair” as “a post-war propaganda film designed to rally popular support for the destruction of the German nation and its reconstitution as a Jewish American colony.”

Bryttan soon started to promote the “rigorous historian” E. Michael Jones, an antisemitic Catholic writer that has described the Holocaust as “a reaction to Jewish Messianism (in the form of Bolshevism).” In December 2018, Bryttan shared a “brilliant talk by Dr. Jones,”

about the vicious all-out assault by Hollywood, the Frankfurt School, Time magazine … to destroy the basic fibers of Germany and her culture after WW2, via manipulative social engineering through the "sciences" of Psychology, Psychiatry and Sociology; the Germans bore the brunt of this psychological warfare, and they lost... the Jewish science weapons destroyed Germany to this day...

Adrian Bryttan explained to his Facebook friends in the coming weeks, “Even after Stalin purged many of the original Jew Bolsheviks in the 1920s, he retained Jews like Lazar Kaganovich to starve Ukrainians into submission and run the systems of concentration camps known as the Gulag Archipelago.” So if some Ukrainians helped the Nazis to genocide Jews and even guard the death camps, apparently they were just settling the score—the classic example being John Demjanjuk, a former guard at Sobibor.

In September 2019, Bryttan shared a blog post from a pseudonymous Holocaust denier about the “contradictory, shifting and evasive testimony” of Holocaust survivors, starting with the Demjanjuk case. Around this time, Bryttan wondered why children should be “educated regarding the meaning of swastikas and nooses … [but not] the symbols for Antifa, Black Fist, SPLC [Southern Poverty Law Center], Hammer& Sickle and ADL [Anti-Defamation League].”

I don’t expect that the Banderites will disinvite Adrian Bryttan, or that the OUN-B’s Jewish allies will care. Yaakov Bleich, one of the Chief Rabbis of Ukraine, spoke at a press conference held outside the OUN-B building in New York City ten years ago. More recently, he invited Atlantic Council fellow Adrian Karatnycky, a friend of the “Bandera Lobby” from “Little Ukraine,” Manhattan, to his son’s wedding in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

Karatnycky, a co-director of the “Ukrainian Jewish Encounter,” and former employee of a Ukrainian nationalist CIA front, was unfazed about rubbing shoulders with the OUN-B’s far-right youth leader in Cleveland at one of the annual “policy conferences” organized by the Banderites in Washington. “I know nothing about 18-year-old activists,” Karatnycky said last year. “Nor much about the contemporary OUN-B save for the fact that its leaders are strongly pro-Israel and not antisemitic.” As someone who lives around the corner from the OUN-B building in Manhattan, perhaps he’ll also be going to the Banderite Christmas party.
