Have you seen the way people mock the Russian V-Day parades because all the tanks are busy so only a single T-34 was present?

That tank was fighting Nazis while the US was still playing ‘wait and see’ and its cultural elite were sucking the Fuhrer’s dick.

Poland is already fascist. There’s not much state violence happening because there is literally no real opposition. but we’re already years past after a obvious series of political murders and just look what happened when some Iraqi refugees wanted to cross the border from Belarus.

And this is even before we take the Ukraine war and all its consequences into consideration.

I’ve seen enough thin blue line stickers on cars here. it’s already pretty normalized

It already is in certain regions comrade. I don’t know the context of this post, but right wing ideology is far more widespread then left wing ideology in most places, ageism for example is becoming rampant all over the earth thanks to relentless American fear mongering and culture being shoved down all of our throats through the media, American creators and people of influence, etc. racism in the west as a whole towards Arabs and Chinese is very much a real thing, “family values” and other vague conservative terms is being used without end with most right wing leaders and politicians across the planet to gather support, and literal Nazis do actually exist as we speak in America and Europe, the list goes on. It already sadly is a reality: right wing ideology has been very much normalised for most places, and will continue to become normalised further as our conditions worsen under capitalism.

I agree. What’s sadder still, but not really material (just aesthetic) is that they will co-opt left language to do it too so the people doing the fascism feel good about themselves.

Libs already are justifying oppression of the poor and crying about “crime rates” which means they want more police to protect their class. It’s only a matter of time that expands totally.

It’s like that already.

In the state I lived previously I saw many nazi tattoos and people spoke rather openly about their fascist affiliations, or that of the people close to them. Also it was saturated with outrageous conspiracy theories and undying loyalty to Alex Jones and others.

To add to the other comments, I’d like to say comrade, as one SEA comrade to another, the things you mention are not so far from what already happens or have happened here.

Not straight-up “Nazism”, in it’s particular manifestations in 1940 Europe, per se, but what about the mass anti-communist killings in 1965-66 Indonesia? The smaller but still notable state-sanctioned killings/arrests in Thailand, Singapore, Burma, Cambodia, Brunei, Philippines and Malaysia?

Literally all countries except Laos and Viet Nam (and Cambodia), which interestingly enough faced their own fascist rule through South Viet Nam, their war for independence, and attempted genocide by the US military.

Not to mention the infamous genocides and other racial mass killings, happening before, but also currently happening, like in Burma. What about the racist attitudes and disregard exhibited by Singaporean, Malaysian and Thai societies against migrant labourers? The tribal and aboriginal peoples throughout Southeast Asia, from the Thai Hilltribes and Khmer Loeu in the mainland, to the Orang Asli and Papuans in the maritime, facing relentless (euro-inspired) chauvinism for being underdeveloped, backwards, and lazy? What about the Chinese and Indian peoples (From Burma and Viet Nam, to the Philippines and Indonesia we all know of all the expulsions, whether ultimately justified or not, whether perpetrated by the colonizers or the nationalists)?¹

And how many are actually taught in each countries the national curriculum? In which countries are the Communists slandered for being terrorists? It’s by far a majority.

As for segregation, in for example, Malaysia, it has been this case since colonisation. We are all too familiar with the separate linguistic / ethnic group schools based on the three government recognised races: Chinese, Indian and Malay². We may have gain independence but race poisons our everyday discourse - and yet almost no attention is given of how this actually came to be. It is mystified through racial essentialism, which I contend perhaps is even more dangerous and stable.

SEA through the dialectic of uneven and combined development will face increased contradictions brought about their own capitalist development. Unlike some of the socialist states within SEA, region-wide, I can’t foresee a situation in which these contradictions are managed non-antagonistically.

Instead of evoking a demonized European Past which only gains notoriety through their implementation of colony policies on White people, we should instead look at the very real processes happening in our own backyard.

¹ This requires elaboration because anti-Chinese sentiment has long been a mainstay in Southeast Asia for the past couple of centuries. However comparing them to European Jews, are useful - and common - but inadequate.

² I like to note that in Singapore/Malaysia, race and ethnicity is interchangeable. It’s treated as one and the same, and it’s not just a mere misunderstanding of the terms either. It is an explicit, concerted effort by the ruling classes to cater to their communal bases but especially for the Malay (ruling class), where it allows them to act like they have the majority through the vaguely defined meanings of Malay, including technically “foreign” ethnic groups like Minangkabau, Javanese, Bugis, among others. And the educational linguistic divide is a necessarily complicated issue aswell but it will be too much to elaborate here.

Strap up and learn how to use your tool, everyone. The hard days are coming; where you’d rather have and know than not.

Just strictly speaking about the US, It’ll take a little while, but I agree. Some areas in the South or rural segments probably a bit quicker. Rn, the Democrats have too much to gain by pointing at the Nazis and saying “you want these Republicans or us?” so for the time being, because there is no real left to threaten the far-right. But over time, as things get worse and people demand more help from their government, the far-right stuff will be used as a “well at least they aren’t Gommunists” and then that evolves into “well at least they’re fighting the gommunists” then if things don’t change they turn into “you don’t support the Nazis? Fuckin Commie”. None of this is a quick turn, which is why libs fall for this shit so often, they don’t wake up in LGBTQ-friendly Bronx and wake up in Nazi Germany, the far-right sentiment stews and rots within the country until the stink is unbearable and these libs will say “how did it ever get this way”

Please don’t fantasize about the world reverting to 1940 European fascism. The world has moved on. Fascism is operating at a larger scale now. Death isn’t industrialized, it’s ambient. Segregation is both ghettoized and international. The borders are permeable to maintain discipline of the whites. The panopticon is completed. We don’t need secret police and informants because monitoring is complete and continuous. The fascists are literally issuing kill orders based on metadata alone.

You are living through everything already being normalized. The fact that you made this post is evidenced that it’s all already normalized. The US has managed to kill people before they were born by poisoning entire countries with chemical warfare and depleted uranium, likely based on the effectiveness of killing multiple generations of Japanese residents of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Don’t expect gas chambers - they are a solution to a logistics problem that doesn’t exist anymore. Don’t expect explicit mystical rhetoric about master races - if advertising of the 1940s doesn’t work today, why would other narrative forms from back then work today? Don’t expect occupation of white countries - we barely acknowledge occupations of brown countries, but white countries are subjugated by the transnational military known as NATO.

If you think fascism is coming instead of already here, you’re missing the forest for the trees.

idk if you guys use tiktok that much but it’s literally a neo-nazi breeding ground rn. The “gnome hunting” trend, “#AryanClassic”, Odinism and black sun aesthetic, hyperborea, it’s like scientific racism level bad
