   Heyo, don't get it twisted - they're still *all* trying to kill you and you can't be a "capitalist" on a boiling planet where continuing to do capitalism will require the slaughter of billions, without being at least some kinda fascist. The distinction is "nazis" and "fascists" not "fascists" and "not fascists" - sorry; I just call balls and strikes.

     You don't like hearing that, I understand, but dawg my model certainly does explain why two election cycles of picking neoliberals to stop nazis A) hasn't worked to stop the nazis, B) has still lead to the rise of fascist police states, C) hasn't made a single fucking dent in our rocket ride towards climate catastrophe, D) has seen a continued increase in the power of capital, and E) has seen a continued increase in militarization and genocide.

     My model works to explain it; yours doesn't.

     The plain truth is that capitalism is killing us and we are out of planet. The only way to keep doing capitalism is going to be turning vast swathes of the planet into sacrifice zones and looting folks who can't protect themselves for their resources. If you're a capitalist, and you intend to keep doing capitalism, you're ultimately for genocide because there is no other way to accomplish that. And folks won't politely agree to die for your bottom line, so that means fascism. Balls and strikes.

     This isn't even about ideology; it's about limitations being exceeded on a global scale. That having been said, the ideology of market fundamentalism, and the ideology of fascism do have an alarming number of similarities. Both believe some should live, some should die; some should rule in opulence, some should toil in misery to support that opulent rule. They have different ways of deciding who is who, but in the final calculations it's usually the EXACT same people getting fucked.

     It is not an accident, that the most successful capitalists on earth, are all paying to promote and install fascists to positions of power. They know everything I just told you; they understand better than most that it's either capitalism or a planet that can support 8B+ humans - they've made their choice; to keep capitalism. And they know you aren't going to vote for it or go quietly, so they're removing YOUR choice from the equation via fascism.

     There is no middle ground here.
