Alito and our fascist state
“Fascism is capitalism in decay”
—–Vladimir Lenin
We can clearly see evidence of capitalism’s decay in America while we are told it is doing just fine. As this continues, the common man pays the price for the power elite’s hold on money and power. We pay with declining wages, job loss, poor health and education and more recently erosion of our basic constitutional rights.
It used to be that pathocrats were happy with a profit and would throw us the crumbs. It kept us happy too while oblivious to their true intentions. Occasionally they would go too far and we would make a stink about it. Then the constitution would buffer us somewhat. But we ain’t in Kansas no more. Even the crumbs are worthwhile as decline marches on due to years of waste, destruction of our resources and plain ole psychological warfare. They want it all including the crumbs and the constitution is in the way. When the lies and psyops are exposed, tools are at the ready for dealing with it. We get legalistic paramoralisms and we get more war on terror. First though there has to be more terror. From the bunch in the white house you can expect that.
We need only to take the words of the fascist Hermann Georing to get an idea of what our current leaders learned from nazi failures. Alito’s soon to be confirmation for a spot on the supreme court bench is the latest response to the failure of capitalism which we know is called fascism. It’s pathocracy at it’s finest and goes to the heart of what Georing was talking about when he spoke of war and the common people.
Why of course the people don’t want war. Why should some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally the common people don’t want war neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.”
Our current fascists have learned much since the days of nazi Germany and they have better weapons this time. The “commitment” vote taken for Alito’s confirmation yesterday points to this. Unless a miracle occurs the lawyer for the America’s gestapo is gonna be confirmed. Then unitary executive powers that have been secretly in effect since 9/11 will be public and legal.
