Nope. If we are going to use paradigmatic states, then we need to talk about the prime players.
Chase JP Morgan
The defense industry
The oil industry
And The Rest of Their Ilk.
How the **** are we discussing paradigmatic states and not even mentioning the 0.01%?
Fascism comes from a crisis for the 0.01%. Fascism is an uber risk for the 0.01%. They are more afraid of a worker's welfare state than they are of letting Trump and Musk loose on America.
Let me back this up. A Hitler went to jail and was disqualified from ever running for a seat in the Reichstag. He got pardoned and reinstated. It is now known that the big money in Germany were each and everyone making a deal with A Hitler in private. This was before the riots and fires.
I just hope the fascist government doesn't last very long. I'd like to live to see America free againIf Trump goes through with all the shit he's threatening, it's gonna take multiple decades to fix everything, and that's assuming society stops it's current shift rightwards after he's gone.
Because the wealthy overwhelmingly backed Harris (her best demographic was people making over $200,000 a year). She had about twice as many billionaire backers, raised three times as much money, had more PACs backing her, had the CEO of Goldman Sachs publicly say her winning was better for the economy. Not sure what needs to happen to make people realize this is a culture war and that the base of the right is actually the working class.
Okay, have fun with your conspiracy.It's not a conspiracy at all. A significant fraction of the US ruling class is straight-up fascist and sees Trump as nothing but a more useful way to motivate the GOP base than the likes of Jeb!.

Precisely how some German industrialists worked with Hitler back in the day.
And LOL at $200K and up incomes being any kind of measure of being in the ruling class.
Yeah see how you ignore the data? That's what makes it a conspiracy. She had more billionaires and more money from the wealthy through her PACs and campaign. Trump was picked by the working class and people are in denial about it and making up excuses rather than facing the reality.It's amazing how blinkered this analysis is. Here are two of the most blatant flaws:
Over $200,000 is the highest bracket in exit polls, but the more money you made the more likely you were to vote for Harris. That's the data. Yes many rich support Trump and many poor supported Harris, but the data is that most rich wanted Harris and there weren't enough of them to overcome the working class. But you guys just go on and on about how this is a big conspiracy by the rich and not something the working class literally voted for despite it being against their own interests because the Harris campaign could not appeal to them.
We are in stage 3, heading into stage 4 rapidly.
This but I doubt it'll ever get to stage 5. I'm just curious of everything I'm reading...what if it were the dawn of a blue executive, judicial, and legislative monopoly? Would the media be spouting that we would be headed to socialism? Or would they be patting themselves on the back still thinking it's a democracy?
Whatever we're heading to...it was voted democratically by the people. Wasn't it?
1) Myopic focus on "data" that doesn't account for the usual ocean of GOP dark money -- sure the GOP itself may have been cash strapped because Trump was using it as his legal defense fund, but that just reinforced the existing preference for the GOP to fund itself via dark money, PACs etc.
2) Said data does not even attempt to account for the GOP's media machine -- not only do Fox News etc. pump out GOP propaganda all day, every day, the mainstream media is already ready to help Republicans with endless variations on the great both-sides lie. E.g., it is estimated that in 2016 Trump got $ billions in free air time from the mainstream media, and nothing relevant has changed since then.
The working class didn't vote to impoverish themselves because that's what they want. Instead, they were propagandized to do that, and that propaganda machine is the creation of the fascist fraction of the ruling class.
