That’s ok, as an Anarchist I also don’t understand. I mean, I think I get what they are trying to say, but it’s just… incorrect?
Fascism is about authoritarian mass control of one group to enact oppression and violence and bigotry on another vulnerable group in one form or another. If you would like to acheive that (most if not all bigots do), you are a Fascist.
Capitalism is about getting the highest profit for yourself by fucking others over. The goal is not typically discriminate violence. The only reason it sometimes becomes that is because people tend to be bigoted and their buissiness ends up reflecting that. But that is still not fascism because it is not with the goal or result of mass abuse and oppression of a group.
Capitalism can absolutely be a major part of the process of fascism, but they are not the same.
Now that that is out of the way, what tf is the meme saying? Is it insulting liberals or praising them? Was it made to insinuate they are the same or that they are not the same?
It feels like someone who calls themselves a leftist but doesn’t understand the nuance and complexities of how Capitalism and Fascism can or cannot interplay decided to try and take a shot at liberals.
I don’t understand because equating those 2 things would be a VERY radical take (albeit wrong), not very liberal at all…
I do not understand
