Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) urged her Democratic colleagues to stop attacking the "oligarchy," arguing that the word did not resonate with most Americans.
Fascism is the open dictatorship of the most reactionary, most chauvinistic, and most imperialist elements of finance capital, used as a tool by the ownership class to crush the working class and revolutionary movements when their rule can no longer be maintained through “normal” parliamentary democracy. It is capitalism in decay and crisis, resorting to extreme violence, nationalism, and repression to preserve class dominance.
The CIA and broader U.S. intelligence apparatus from George W. Bush to today function as instruments of the ownership class, increasingly showing fascistic tendencies as capitalism faces deeper internal crises. After 9/11, intelligence agencies expanded mass surveillance, covert operations, and political manipulation — not just abroad but domestically — to suppress dissent, manage working-class unrest, and defend imperialist interests. Under both Republican and Democratic administrations, the intelligence state has blurred the line between “security” and repression, normalizing extraordinary executive powers, criminalizing protest, and targeting leftist, anti-imperialist, and labor movements — all while intensifying nationalist narratives to justify it.
You made a “joke” about pressure cookers and ovens. Which have obviously been used as murder weapons and extermination devices. And then lack the spine to admit to what you said.
I provided a correct definition of fascism. What is your understanding? That fascism is “something bad that happened a long time ago, somewhere far away?” It’s a structural issue that requires a class-inclusive structural analysis. Or did your 2nd grade history class not encourage you to think in such terms?
Im not sure what you think links to books for sale represent
I think books represent knowledge that would alleviate your ignorance. It’s an attempt to cure you.
but I know Prashad IRL
You’re a no one who is pretending to have any authority because lying on the internet gives you feelings of power

Extremely poor taste “joke”
The above comment already explains how the intelligence agencies enforce and perpetuate western oligarchic control and exploitation.
