So " there are no other people in this country , only American people " ???

[ "There are no other people in this country, only American people." What an amazing line, and one needed to be said more often. " ] COMMENT . 20th Century Fascism can only be understood by - I suspect - a rigidly orthodox Marxist point of view. A crisis of capitalism and German colonialism led to Hitler in Germany . A crisis of capitalism and Italian colonialism led to Mussolini in Italy. A crisis of capitalism and American imperialism almost led to socialist revolution in the United States. In all cases a crisis of capitalism in a modern nation-state leads to WAR with some over-vilified foreign enemy . Presently for the American ruling class POST-COMUNIST Russia does not live up to the superior moral standards of " OUR democracy " ( LOL ) . Any objective view of modern society , any SCIENTIFIC view, would agree with Marx that the American PEOPLE are divided into antagonistic economic classes. It would be ridiculous for militant organized labor , for example , to have a strategy based on the notion that " there are no other people in this country , only American people ". Does that include even the chronically homeless ? What keeps them homeless is sacrosanct landlord-capitalist PRIVATE PROPERTY right. In one way fascism can resemble communism or " socialism " ( which is why Hitler called his movement " National Socialism " ) : The fascist STATE must have absolute authority over capitalist PRIVATE PROPERTY without abolishing it. This was partially true for FDR's rather successful " New Deal ". Which is why many American plutocrats forever hated " THAT MAN " ( hated him for saving capitalism ! ) . Decaying American capitalism in the 21st century will not see a complacent , docile, yet EXPLOITED and OPPRESSED, American working class. We are not ALL just AMERICAN PEOPLE very solicitous for " OUR way of life ". Social reality is what it is ! There is no American " exceptionalism " . Russia's Putin gets that right. OUR way of life is not Donald Trump's way of life , not the corrupt Joe Biden's family way of life. Even the humble " man in the street " understands that " there are fundamentally two classes in this country " . And " no other people in this country " ( except perhaps the very stuff of fascism - the enraged petty bourgeois ! THEY were the battering ram for the Nazi movement in the last days of the German Weimar Republic .
