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.

In a Jan. 5, 2025 post, Musk embedded a video originally shared by an X (formerly known as Twitter) account with the handle @BGatesIsaPsycho. The 39-second video shows Ken O’Keefe calling Starmer a “bastard who excused Jimmy Savile.” The video is captioned “Future prime minister Keir starmer [sic] said there was no evidence against Jimmy Savile.”

Starmer was the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) and Head of the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) from 2008 until 2013. However, Starmer was reportedly not informed when a CPS investigator decided to drop a case against Savile, who may have abused up to 1,000 children over several decades.

O’Keefe is a Gulf War veteran-turned peace activist [read: isolationist] who later became a close friend of former Klan leader David Duke. In 2014, O’Keefe railed against “fucking Jews” during a speech at the IONA London Forum, which the SPLC described as “a gathering of academically oriented white supremacists and anti-Semites.”

I'm actually relieved Elon Musk behaves like a cretinous raging Nazi rather than a soft-spoken, educated cryptofascist seemingly willing to engage in reasonable discussions. The latter are the most dangerous: they fool a lot of people. At least Elon Musk is so damn obvious even someone who doesn't really pay attention to what he says on a regular basis can figure him out immediately.

And as a side benefit, nobody who likes him or praises him can claim they were fooled: pro-Musk people are just as cretinous and just as fascist as their idol, kind of by definition. They're easy to categorize too.
