I would say corporate control of the mass media is a requirement for capitalistic countries. I mean, how else do you convince the masses that having billionaires and hungry children of working parents in the same country is somehow 'normal'.

Feminism and BLM ideology are all over our culture and has infested the global corporations, institutions and universities and has brought with is the logically ridiculous Gender/Race Critical theories that are becoming more and more authoritarian in their behaviour and attitudes to opposing views.
The insistence of Gender Quotas, Race Quotas is a massive threat to the SME industries as a result which will undermine an economies ability to provide employment and opportunity to it's citizens in the future, and our ability to be able to take economic downturns.
The wave of statue toppling, the continued distortion of history, the undermining of the police authorities and political violence is the preserve of the political left....the silencing of opposing political views is the preserve of the political left.
The political left in previous times would have loved an anti globalist, anti war, pro LGBT, pro Black President...turns out when they got one, they despised him!!! Repeatedly calling him a fascist, a white supremacist, misogynist....because he didn't speak right, didn't make them feel warm inside, he didn't have the ability to disguise his narcissism like his predecessor...which was in my view his biggest fault which cost him a second term.
We live in an era where Global Corporations have been allowed to become more powerful than the nation states they are based in, this is not a left/right issue as both are guilty of allowing this to happen, they use that power to ensure they can stamp out competition at every level.
The best example are Facebook and Google who should never have been allowed to accrue their dominant market positions....but there are plenty more.
You can elect a Conservative Political party, but if major institutions (media, academia, state institutes) have succumbed to identity politics it is very difficult to deliver on conservative ideals, which is why in my view, genuinely far right political parties across Europe will indeed become a threat to peace in the decades ahead.
Tl;dr anything that doesn't agree with my bigotry is.communism and trump is apparently very progressive.

George Carlin said Fascism in America would wear nikes and a smiley face.
Whats really interesting is those that who are trying to defend the corporations don't even try to make good faith arguments, what you get is obtuseness ("but technically thats not fascism") and resorting to labelling everyone else racists and bigots...or human refuse.:oAre you still banging on about a coup? Even Hitler had the decency not to come out with nonsense like that until the Reichstag was burned down.
Ludicrous nonsense.
Good thing I know just the person to answer deal with your concerns with all the good faith you would like:You claimed that Parler was the equivalent to stormfront, another trope so standard that it has its own meme:
No, no... wait. Maybe that's not quite genuine enough. Hold on, I'll get another one for you:As for the trailer you've linked that you think proves a point, its a bog standard fps trailer. The little ad blast that caused a tiff was blatantly riffing on present day events "If you're a Nazi...*punch*... GTFO". Completely different and caused no small amount of controversy due to the current trend in certain quarters of defining "nazi" as follows
Wait, wait, wait... we're not done.
The good work will never be complete, of course
But yeah... let's have "good faith discussion" about how people Bambi disagrees with are fascists and Nazis. :pac:0 -

Did you not notice his increased vote from these demographics in the November election? How do you think he achieved that?
By inheriting a booming economy thanks to the obama administration, who also by the way didn't start any wars.
Also voting across the board increase. He still lost the popular vote mostly due to an energised black community voting against him.

It's very odd watching a bunch of Marxists complain about other totalitarian ideologies. The irony is obviously lost on some of you.
Communism, marxism, socialism are as evil and regressive as fascism.
Playing word games doesn't change that fact.
Free health care and public transport aren't evil.

Yes, Retr0gamer who you directly compared to Hitler unfavourably:Retr0gamer wrote: »There's only one person trying to over throw a democratically voted decision and it's not big tech.

Carry on whingeing about 'good faith' discussions while shrieking about how all the scary Nazis around you. Don't expect to be taken seriously on it with your posting history, though. It's hilarious watching the tears flow.

Excellent post.That only depends upon who is using them and for what gain. At their base level, both systems are quite different. But that doesn't mean that the likes of Communism can't be used by whomever to achieve totalitarian goals. As we have seen historically, it can be utilised by totalitarians to garner support among the "masses", as it's the "masses" that stand to benefit from its basic tenets.
But it's not a given thing, as it almost assuredly is with a system like fascism.
The only genuine overlap between both systems is an anti democratic nature of sorts and a rejection of liberalism to varying degrees. But Communism isn't necessarily anti democratic. Technically, you could have a Communist state, with democracy of sorts. That's probably not possible with a Fascist state, which by its very nature, demands a dictatorial head and is more easily used as a means of despotism.
Carlin's quote is noteworthy 0 -
