      It’s the opposite for the US as it is for any other fascist regime. The state is controlled mostly by companies with minimal regulation so that they don’t end up cannibalising the country and the military is used to impose their imperialist hegemony.

        I thought this was the case for Neoliberalism and Fascism being two sides of the same coin? Neoliberalism being this situation, where the companies/private sector more or less controls the state, and under Fascism the state more or less controls companies/the private sector (isn’t this how the economy was run under Nazi Germany? Where the fascists used/controlled the private sector for their own ends?)

      Is it? The whole “fascism is a left wing ideology” thing appears to be quite prevalent, at least in the west

        It’s really quite sad. It didn’t take much reading for me to realize how much I had been lied to about Leftist ideology. It really just takes an open mind and a little bit of curiosity to set you on the path of realization.

        One day I had had enough on being confused about what socialism actually was, as the term kept being thrown around during and after Bernie’s first run for presidency. Just a few hours of introductory reading on Wikipedia and I was sent down a rabbit hole of realizing I had been lied to about so much.

    The USA government with the Bretton Woods institutions like the World Bank and International Monetary Fund are the one who are controlling the former European colonies with transnational private firms from European and European emigrant countries. Despite their slogan of minimal government intervention, the NATO and Bretton Woods institutions support heavy government intervention and authoritarian control by financial institutions over the international economy to dictate the prosperity and economic collapse of countries according to their servitute to the former international empires. Also, they employ non-profit companies that are funded by European diaspora countries to take over the public sector of poor countries after they force the local governments to cut public services.
