Everything isn’t capitalism, but fascism is always funded by the capitalist class. In fact it can’t get far without it. Fascism doesn’t just randomly sprout out of the ground; it’s not as organic & grassroots as most people think. Fascism is always a false revolution, because the capitalist class always remains in power. It’s what the capitalist class falls back on when liberal democracy starts to fail them. It’s when the capitalist class goes mask off. That’s what Lenin meant by “fascism is capitalism in decay.” Michael Parenti: Rational Fascism
How did January 6 happen? With a whole bunch of funding from rich motherfuckers.
But scapegoating poor whites keeps the conversation away from fascism’s real base: the petite bourgeoisie. This is a piece of jargon used mostly by Marxists to denote small-property owners, whose nearest equivalents these days may be the “upper middle class” or “small-business owners.” […] Trump’s real base, the actual backbone of fascism, isn’t poor and working-class voters, but middle-class and affluent whites. Often self-employed, possessed of a retirement account and a home as a nest egg, this is the stratum taken in by Horatio Alger stories. They can envision playing the market well enough to become the next Trump. They haven’t won “big-league,” but they’ve won enough to be invested in the hierarchy they aspire to climb. If only America were made great again, they could become the haute bourgeoisie—the storied “1 percent.”
u wot mate? If that was the case then we would always have had Capitalism, which we’ve obviously did not. You need a system that supports inserting capital into random companies to get to Capitalism, not (just) currency.
That’s not true, currency is an invention, it’s not as old as humanity. Primitive agrarian societies (and of course hunter-gatherer societies) broadly did not use currency.
If everything is capitalism, then nothing is capitalism

Bro really went out of his way here💀
You’re on Lemmy, most of the Communists here have trained in 1000x Earth’s gravity to fight Liberalism. You can’t exist as a Communist otherwise.
They’re not even saying everything is capitalism though.

In what I’ve observed from a certain demographic on here, there seems to be a theme
So you’re jumping to conclusions.
More like an educated guess
No, just finding one
According to your logic: If everything is the universe then nothing is the universe
And according to yours, capitalism is the universe?
Well universe = earth = humans = currency = capitalism
Capitalism is not currency, currency existed long before Capitalism.
??? Currency being capitalism is also wrong, but that’s just baffling

The level of self centered thinking here is off the charts
You get it
