It's the national bourgoisie ascendent against the international bourgoisie. Trump's favoured businessmen will be given special exemptions while the economy gets gutted and they can pick up the remnants at a steal. meanwhile their international rivals get shafted.
Also they are definitely on a neoreaction trip, it's just that all they've done is reinvented fascism and mixed it with older patronage networks that won't work for a modern economy.
Yes, that's it. Class solidarity has historically been annoyingly high amongst capitalist both national and international and (whatever other effects), this might have the potential to further erode both at the same time.
Fascism with less brown shirts since there's not much of an organized left to take the fight to the streets.
Exactly. Fascism ala 30s style cant really be created, since there is a lack of marxist and mass class consciousness. Brutalization still exist, since its a core fabric of extraction.
I think we underestimate the left here. I suspect the organisational seeds the left has will consolidate as the crisis grows and more people become radicalised. the cadres I've been talking to often have room to scale, and sometimes fighting capacity, but they want to keep their powder dry where possible and not escalate prematurely, so they keep the street fighting to a minimum and focus on resisting evictions and deportations.
Meanwhile the right are actually pretty keen on vigilantism and in the absence of a target they'll invent one.
