As long as you back peddle to reality I think we can both agree about modern fascism existing. For a minute there, it sure felt like you where attempting a very ill thought out gaslighting escapade hence the links I gave you.

I get that you are in denial that the US is the source of neofascism in the modern world and that they have successfully exported it to every nation including China. While I don’t agree with fascism, it has been remarkably effective. I don’t come from the perspective that fascism is spreading. Fascism spread a long time ago. What we see is fascist tendencies becoming more pronounced.

It is my opinion that the US was a proto-fascist nation. The wealthy used every play from the book of fascism to take control of the US colonies long before there was a word for it. What makes the US unique was the never ending greed and resulting genocide that even a continent of resources could not satiate. A country for the wealthy by the wealthy where enough was never enough.

You have to hand it to the US for all the propaganda about democracy and liberalism they shoved down everyone’s throat which was often followed by a bullet. It’s persuasive nature has infiltrated human discourse poisoning it with so much doublethink it is like living in 1984 everyday forever. Creating a figurative monster that can’t see its own reflection.

This propaganda is not unique though as every nation has its lies often to cover up an oligarchy and create a facade of propriety for the people. While not all nations are as extreme as the US they often cite an ideology that they do not actually follow. A great example is free trade which wealthy nations use to abuse global systems to extract wealth.

Concentration of wealth has always been the devil in the room and no nation has ever compared to the US (except maybe China the last three years). The government AKA the wealthy have a significant amount of control but they obviously want eat their cake and to have it to. This is why US fascists keep so much of business out of governments hands. They can still order corporations around, but get the benefit of appearing detached plus get to take the lion’s share of the profit.

While US fascism has roots in imperialism, it went far beyond what most countries have done and is more akin to the Mongols or Roman level of continental wide destruction. This US fascism is the modern day version of conquest driven by hate and lust for power combined with technology that has allowed for massive human suffering.

Another clear example of the US spreading fascism was laying the groundwork and providing the material supports for fascism in Germany. This set the stage for the US fascist campaign of toppling governments the US continues to engage in to this day.

The US exerted its economic influence and militaristic control over the entire world long ago. They murdered countless innocent people just because they supported something like a leftist movement. Creating civil war and strife, arming both sides, and murdering with impunity was the name of the game.

All done through the most fascist like of all industries the arms industry, which has evolved into the abomination of the Industrial Military Complex. A fully integrated fascist loving system in just about every nation. With the four worst offenders being The US, France, Russia, and China in order (China beat out Germany recently for #4 arms dealer, way to go!). The big four fascist loving fucks dealing weapons to war torn nations and profiting from human death and destruction.

On a side note, this really feels like one of those conversations with a racist or sexist person where they are challenging you to prove that racism or sexist exists. It gives me kind of gross vibes to be honest. Not that I mean to imply you are either of these things, just a way to describe the bizarreness of someone who clearly believes something exists but wishes to “challenge” someone. Perhaps it is some perverse form of mansplaining with a leftist twist. Let’s call it Leninsplaining, but I digress.

Obviously the total economic output is something that is not realistic to control in regard to fascist Italy, hence why I believe you were overstating the control of the state to make your argument. Not sure what you are getting at as my point stands. Also, I went back and erased all that because I felt it was boisterous, rude, and counter productive a long time before you replied. Sorry for the confusion.
