    Least fascist Republican. Seriously though, I feel like its mostly empty posturing. The capitalists in the US are trying their best to stabilize (without addressing any issues), something like killing all trans supporters would only accelerate the decline. Riots way larger and more violent then BLM would ravage the country, meanwhile all the capitalist class want is for the working class to continue to be screwed over. Such riots would greatly destabilize the imperial core (very bad for capitalists) and would shut down a large number of workplaces (also bad for them).

      Capitalists aren’t one giant United group or party who read theory and organize like MLs do. They’re mostly independent gang bosses that occasionally team up together if they can make more profit

      This Mississippi republican is not saying this shit in an attempt to further capitalism. He’s just transphobic af. Things can happen outside of a capitalist/communist framework

      I’m confident most capitalists/politicians outside of finance billionaires and people at the top of government position don’t understand class conflict on a geopolitical level

        Pretty much this, and to add there’s lot of infighting among the chuds even in more stable times, the reactionaries have breaks over what sort of white fascist state they wish to bring about. A good example in the US would be the various neonazi groups and KKK not getting along quite often.

        True to a degree but I do believe the capitalist class understands its interests. Politicians are basically just tools of the wealthy, the wealthy ultimately know what they want.

        The wealthiest and most powerful know what they want.

        Oh definitely, if they could they would. Luckily as of now conditions aren’t such that they really can. At most I could see the Mormon’s in Utah pulling something.
