Whatever he wasn't talking about there, that must've been pretty bad. It was enough to persuade Smedley Butler that war was a racket.

1. #fascism is simply the CONCENTRATION AND ABUSE OF POWER IN THE HAND OF A FEW #UNELECTED #ANTIDEMOCRATS (it usually ends in #catastrophe)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasces
2. this #bs #historian https://youtu.be/kbWLE07NGcw?t=402 says #god was killed by the #nietzsche and the #bolshevik (the #communists #commies #soviets) and thus the so well educated #civilized #Germany did the #holocaust (ok does not make sense but well!?)
no the reason is much simpler, #Germany had SEVERE #economic problems and 1929 #stockmarket crash #USA demanding all loans back from #Germany made it worse + a (#money) #corrupted #Democracy (yes it happened before) destroyed a lot of #trust of the people
in #economic (!) desperation (and possibly other problems) they voted for #extremists as a kind of last resort (stupid) idea to fix things and in the beginning #Hitler did fix some things like #unemployment and #hunger in the #cities, but of course the #madmen had bigger goals, like rule the planet, no matter if he killed everyone in the process
also it seems like powerful elites in the #West #USA feared #communism and the nationalization of assets as #realestate and #factories, so these #elites welcomed a #radical #Germany that would fight #communism = the enemy of the rich to death (and they believed their #Hitler and did and died, #German soldiers that survived LITERATELY stated that they were not fighting the #Russian population but #communism !!! )
check this out: "So there are a lot of #American #elites who were involved in helping #finance and helping rearm and helping rebuild the #German #economy during this period. It’s a shameful episode. Oliver and I go into it in some depth in the documentary Untold History and the book of Untold History because we think it’s a very important story that gets swept under the carpet when we’re talking about these people being the greatest generation. A lot of those folks who we call the ‘greatest generation’ were #Nazi enablers, and many of them saw the #Nazis as a #bulwark against #Bolshevism, as against #communism, and were therefore happy and willing to support and allow and tolerate and turn a blind eye to the rearmament of Germany during this time, because they saw the Nazis as the way to stop the #Communists and the #SovietUnion”
Among those who explicitly stated that was Senator #HarryTruman, who on the floor of the Senate said if the #Germans are winning we support the #Russians, and if the #Russians are winning we support the #Germans. And that way let them kill as many of each other as possible. That was not #Roosevelt’s attitude."

A quote from #SmedleyButler - the most decorated soldier in American history:
“I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer; a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914.

@brainnotonyet This happened before in American history. We need a Smedley Butler somewhere around Congress.
You want to know what crimes our governments commit? Read books such as 'War Is a Racket' by #SmedleyButler, who by his own admission served as a loyal servant of empire for decades before he opened up his eyes to the truth of what he'd done as a cog in the imperial machine. Go over to #Wikileaks and read through its archives. There's where you'll find info the likes of which tabloid writers such as Taibbi don't care about because it doesn't fit their own narratives.

They tell us via #legacyMedia and now #socialMedia, to blame the #BigBadGovt, but this narrative feeds into the above.
Fascism is the melding of govt and #bigBusiness. Today's system is #fascism, not #capitalism.
Some have called it #CorporateTotalitarianism, or #CorporateState.
To fight it requires getting #NEOed. #Networking #Educating #Organising Engaging with Power, #Disobeying.

2/2 Prof #GabrielRockhill's account is solid. When it comes to a history of #fascism, there's so much material to get through its understandable that you are not able to cover everything in detail.
For anyone interested the documentary, JFK to 9/11: Rich Man's Trick delves into all the points mentioned in detail. Exposing the actual perpetrators and heroes:

#TheFourthTurning is also a real thing.
Empires gut themselves from the inside. You do realise that the military have been lying to the #PoTUS for four years. The #militaryCoup that the Great #SmedleyButler warned off and wrote about in #WarIsARacket is here.
These are not small lies.
The entire #WarOnTerror was effectively a lie to gut the last semblances of #soveriegnty and to weaponise the #USD.
Again, not small.
#WhyBitcoin has alotta sh!t to gonna mop up.
