The definition of fascism is the marriage of corporation and state
- Benito Mussolini
This is part of what true fascism looks like
Yeah, well, what does that guy know about fascism?
I thought he was mostly remembered for his diet plans.
Corporation in the sense he's using it is muddled, but what this is describing is accurate to what he meant. He meant that industry should be run by cooperative alliances that are under the fascist state. Like most fascists, he was always shifting what he meant by corporatism based on whatever rhetorical expediant that was most useful at the time. Corporatism sounds good but in principle it doesn't describe how exactly you form the corporations and how they govern themselves. It's accurate in the sense that this is an example of what he desired in using state power to always be a boot over any cooperative.
See: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporatism to understand it's essentially a theory to contrast itself with Marxisim without actually describing specifics so it has wildly different interpretations that basically boil down to "let's get together and do what's best for everybody." Who knows how to draw the rest of the owl though.
It's looked that way for a long time, we just can't play pretend, anymore. And for those who keep trotting out the "told you so," we told you the Dems needed to stop playing pretend and get serious with serious candidates, rather than slightly less fascist fascists.
referring to joe biden and kamala harris as "slightly less fascist than the guy who literally failed to coup the federal government" is quite a wild comparison to be making.
Corporations are dictatorships so that tracks
At least name the rep. There’s plenty of us here who would gladly call them.
Or the employer.
It really does seem like they are just trying to click bait when they pretend to not want to name the Employer
we have a government agency to help with that sort of thing.
oh. right. had.
We warned the people who sat home on election day about project 2025 and yet they covered their ears and enabled all of this.
Was it worth it for Harris and the dems to throw the election by standing with Israel? Neoliberals are also fascist.
im sure you guys would've voted for them if the israel thing didn't happen, surely you wouldn't have just complained about like, capitalism, or like, liberalism, or something.
And Democrats were warned that they need to stop putting their thumbs on the scale to push the most dog shit candidates that don't promise anything that will help the working class. Fascism happens when democracy is unresponsive to the needs of the working class, and for the last 50 years Democrats have just been great at finding excuses for why they can't do something. Do you think Trump will listen to the parliamentarian if they disagree with something?
Fuck, Democrats have even been voting for his cabinet picks, despite claiming Trump is a fascist. They all voted to confirm Marco Rubio.

what about biden? Dude was pretty popular with blue collar workers, and pushed a lot of good relevant legislation.

this is factually, not fascism, i feel like im speaking with nazis trying to "subvert" the normie population and "enlighten" them or whatever the fuck groypers do.
The division is the point
I was told by a coworker, just after election day, that Project 2025 was just propaganda, and that "Democrats have their own propaganda too you know..."
Shit left me speechless. I was just like, let's revisit this conversation in three months.
I voted for Harris out of harm reduction with a funeral dirge in my heart yet again voting for neoliberal scum that sold out the country to the corpo Fascists lock step with Republicans for decades, but is this the resistance from now on, or will we eventually stop scolding what is now the past hoping it will change the present or future?
Because it won't. You can't shame his voters, Republicans have been immune to shame since Reagan, and scolding the low information "I'm not political, teehee when's football/Reality Show crap on" people who haven't had anything at all to vote FOR, only against the greater evil for the last 50 years will only make them roll their eyes and remain disengaged.
Either foment hot revolution starting with destroying the capital markets, steal the DNC with a socialist populist as trump did as a fascist populist to the RNC, or back a socialist Party. Everything else is masturbation on a sinking ship with the capitalists tearing new holes every day.
Because either under neoliberals or Fascists, the capitalists are unrestrained. And if the capitalists remain unrestrained, the planet WILL burn in our lifetimes for all of humanity effectively forever, as millions of years is forever to our little monkey brains.
I understand you're hurt and concerned right now, with good reason. That said, to get out of this we need to be objective about how we got here.
Blaming our current situation just on people who didn't vote is not taking into account the whole picture. Yes, if non voters had shown up at the polls and voted Harris then Trump wouldn't have won. Also if people who voted for Trump had not shown up, then Harris would have won. If people who voted Trump had voted Harris, she would have won. So?
WHY do people act the way they do? Because of the candidates. Because of the parties. Because of the information they encounter. Because of the entrenched interests that have created a low quality of life, and led people to believe that nothing will change, and that they can't trust what "elites" say.
Does that make the current situation any better? No. But it at least hints at possible avenues to go down, ways things could be improved. Saying "we told them, but they didn't listen" implies there's not much action that can be taken, just relaying information beforehand, and scolding after.
I know some illegal recourses, and if they try to illegally destroy American lives then turnabout is fair play.
Every fascist act is carried out by just a mere human. Same old problems have the same old solutions.
FAFO
I think the quick recourse is to find a new job and quit with no notice and no orderly handover once secured.
The longer term recourse involves lawyers but might end up with the OOP owning the company or at least getting a huge settlement.
And that's exactly, precisely what they want. Their goal is to destroy the government, that's the whole reason for all of it.
More likely lawyer path is a lot of debt
Did a little bit of Reddit sleuthing, and it appears that the user lives in Nebraska, most likely in the Omaha area. That would mean that their representative is most likely Don Bacon, though if they live a little south of the city, it's not impossible that the representative is Mike Flood. Still, based on the users activity and the district maps, my money is on Don Bacon.
so.... what im hearing is that we should doxx don bacon?
Well, if you wanted to call him, his Washington office's number is (202) 225-4155 and his Omaha office is (402) 938-0300. Sometimes, representatives home addresses are just public information. In my state, Congressmen and Senators residences' are published on the ballot. That doesn't seem to be the case in Nebraska, but it appears he lives in Papillion, and at least one source claims that this is his house. No address, but I'm sure a dedicated sleuth could figure out the exact address and organize a safe, legal protest at his house.
Don Bacon sounds like a corny name for a pig mob boss in a satirical Animal Farmesque story.
You come into my barn, on the day of my piglet's wedding, and ask me to do murder, for swill...
Don't work for fascists.
It's not fair that they just forced their way into a position that they didn't have before.

This is a good opportunity to remind people to search yourself on the major search engines and take whatever steps necessary to remove your online presence.
I'm not saying this couldn't happen, but this justdoesn't ring super true to me. How would the user know who the "identified individual" was, how they found the husband's information, or who they called (the "friend") at his company that's apparently in control of his employment? That's a lot of convenient coincidences that, even of they are true, would hardly be easily accessible information to make such a confident accusation.
If the employer is an University or something like that in a smaller state, and they called specifically about a policy change or something happening at the department of education, it could be relatively easy to happen, especially if they gave their name when calling the representative (which I guess you would).
give it a go. Try searching your name, number, address and see what you get.
