Capitalism in Decay

Fascism is capitalism in decay. As with anticommunism in general, the ruling class has oversimplified this phenomenon to the point of absurdity and teaches but a small fraction of its history. This is the spot for getting a serious understanding of it (from a more proletarian perspective) and collecting the facts that contemporary anticommunists are unlikely to discuss.

Posts should be relevant to either fascism or neofascism, otherwise they belong in [email protected]. If you are unsure if the subject matter is related to either, share it there instead. Off‐topic posts shall be removed.

No capitalist apologia or other anticommunism. No bigotry, including racism, misogyny, ableism, heterosexism, or xenophobia. Be respectful. This is a safe space where all comrades should feel welcome.

For our purposes, we consider early Shōwa Japan to be capitalism in decay.

Bratstvo was founded as a political organization in 2004 by Dmytro Korchynsky, who previously led the far-right Ukrainian National Assembly–Ukrainian People’s Self-Defense (UNA-UNSO).

Korchynsky, who now fights in Bratstvo’s paramilitary wing, is a [Shoah] denier who falsely blamed Jews for the 1932–33 famine in Ukraine, and peddled the claim that “120,000 Jews fought in the Wehrmacht.” He has stated that he sees Bratstvo as a “Christian Taliban” (Intercept, 3/18/15).

(Emphasis original. See here for further examples of the NYT’s casual profascism. Depending on your criteria for Jewishness, the claim that 120,000 Jews served in the Wehrmacht is not necessarily a lie, but it was not something that the Third Reich sometimes tolerated out of good will either.)

I understand that the Ukrainian state is a neonazi state. But WHY is there so many varieties of nazis?

It's the one thing that makes no sense to me. How many ways can someone be Russophobic and antisemetic?

That's because neonazism in Ukraine have many sources - OG banderites, skinheads, football hooligans, gusanos, white remnants, religious fanatics, etc. And also many foreign contacts and sources. All those were left to bloom for over 20 years and thus differentiated, and after 2014 most of those groups came unto the maidan clique umbrella, but unlike in nazi Germany there was no gleischaltung.
