#fascism is often described as #capitalism turning #colonialism inward.
once the ruling capitalist classes run out of scapegoat minorities to colonize, they turn against the “buffer zone”, the so-called hegemonic working classes that separate & protect them from the colonized masses.
in USA #racism creates that buffer zone by allotting more money & access to designated hegemonic segments of the working classes.
so let’s speak of this from a neoconfederacy perspective…
that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. didn’t walk around with an #antifa flag all the time, doesn’t mean he was not working from an anticapitalist and antifascist stance.
on the contrary, he was keenly aware of the historical moment he was living in and saw #Vietnam as the pivot for American fascism’s flourish.
there is no Fred Hampton overtly calling for an all out war on fascism without MLK Jr explicitly making the connection with Jim Crow, colonialism and fascism…

to be part of the American oligarchy/ruling classes, you have to be a capitalist.
USA oligarchy treats labor as a plantation. so to them, white working classes are akin to plantation managers.
#MAGA #techbros #petromafia decided they don’t need the white working classes anymore ―that’s the whole push for #AI.
the American plantation owners have turned against their plantation managers and are eager to treat white working classes the way they treat Black, Indigenous & People of Color…
European fascism was and has always been a response to the siren call of USA plantation #slaveocracy, #ManifestDestiny and post-Civil War #JimCrow. if capitalists have to pick between enriching themselves thru slavery or the labor of free citizens, they will go with slavery.
Karl Marx told us as much back in 1861:

do you get why #BlackLivesMatter is the most #antifa shit you can say in USA?
#MAGA is the negrofication of the white middle classes.
deal with it.
PS:
to those who asked me about this pinned post,

use this thread as an explanation to the very serious joke.
when #fascism happens to BPIOC it’s called #racism; but that racism is sometimes #sexism, #misogyny, #homophobia, #transphobia, #xenophobia, #antisemitism, #ableism, #eugenics ―and when against entire nations, #colonialism & #genocide.
so whatever you let the ruling classes get away with racism will come back to haunt you as fascism.
get it now?
