   Whatever happens in these Elections, we can all see Fascism has arrived in the USA and that means the end of #Capitalism as we know it is not far behind.
   So now is perhaps a good time to look at what that #PostCapitalism world may look like. #USpol

     It isn't necessarily true that with the rise of fascism comes the end of capitalism. Did fascism not arise in Germany, Italy, and Spain? Yes, they did. And are those countries not still capitalist? Yes, they are. Fascism rising in a country only means that there is a possibility of capitalism being abolished, but it is no guarantee. A strong Socialist Party with enormous support from the public is one factor that must be met to guarantee the abolition of capitalism.

     You haven't misunderstood anything. That's all correct.

     @Radical_EgoCom @MrLee capitalism is not contrary to fascism. Fascism is capitalism rotting. Fascism is the bourgeoisie freaking out because of the revolt and revolutions of the working class, turning to the "old good values" and turning off democracy to get "law and order", beating and killing trade union representatives and left-leaning politicians, while making friends with them strongest industrialists of the time (Krupp, Musk and the like).

     What am I missing? What have I misunderstood of your post?
