Poking the Bear Again

Authoritarian NeoCons, Fascists, seem little different than Commies. I wish StA was sane enough to post on this topic. He needs to climb out of the pit.

Fascism is the reactionary response to Communism

it has to be authoritarian, because Communists don't play by any civilized rules

the Communists are so extreme they force conservatives to fight fire with fire

so for example you could defeat the Woke, but then you'll probably get a Mike Pompeo as President instead

the culture war is a war, all politics is downstream to culture, so it is no holds barred, anything goes

Marshall McLuhan's guerrilla information war with no distinction between military and civilian

we are living in it right now, this is an epoch washing over us

Another accurate-seeming analysis.

this has all happened before

when the Crown Heads of Europe fell in the First World War, the world divided into two camps

the Bolshevik camp and the Fascist camp

then two third way options appeared

in Europe that was the National Socialists, Socialism, but only for the Germans

in America it was the New Dealers, Socialism, with J. Edgar Hoover keeping things in check

then the New Dealers crushed the National Socialists, replaced them with the Marshal Plan

the epoch comes in 1989

the Second World War was a frozen conflict until 1989

when the Iron & Bamboo curtains fell, the Marshall Plan got out of control

the Marshall Plan had no boundaries, so it started to expand, it went global, it spread worldwide

America is caught in the trap of being the Marshal Plan for the whole world

and that is simply collapsing under its own weight now

the Marshal Plan was George Cannon's Containment policy, it had context, it had limits

but even America cannot contain the whole world, America cannot save the whole world from itself

this is when America starts to become like the Communists, it's a One World Government by default
