the mere existence of fascism is proof that dialectical materialism is correct in the sense that historical development is a matter of social relations & material conditions rather than randomized individual events/aberrations, as liberals would like us to believe

george jackson being able to theorize on fascism & predict what we’re seeing now, 50 years ago, or lenin doing it decades prior, using the materialist method of analyzing social relations—while the professional class acts as if fascism was elected into office in 2016, says what?

fascism was the inevitable outcome of a global capitalist system whose entire economy is predicated on constant war, terror, and violence and unsustainably expanding/creating new markets to achieve such a thing. fascism, as lenin taught us, is simply capitalism in decay.

you know that meme that’s like “the problem w/ socialism is eventually you run out of other peoples money!” well, the problem w/capitalism is eventually you run out of countries to invade and pillage & people willing to accept their own constant subjugation, terror, and death.

and as i said on instagram, what you’re seeing today, is simply a declining empire doing any and everything it can to maintain its tight, but loosening grip, on its own people—as well as the rest of the world.
