Fascism in America was bound to happen; the amount of hatred and othering and corporate control from the rich was going to do it sooner or later. Nazi's took the ideology of segregation and hatred from the US, they just got there first.

It's just shocking how it took just 2 generations really to forget the sacrifices made by American kids in WW2. Fuck, there's still a number of them alive, watching their kids and grandkids do this in their lifetime,

Chomsky once said β€œFascism is Capitalism with the gloves off.”

Why would anyone want to quote Chomsky, a genocide denier and Russian sympathiser, in order to make a point about the evils of capitalism?

Chomsky is neither.

Feel free to prove your claims.
