Capitalism in Decay
Fascism is capitalism in decay. As with anticommunism in general, the ruling class has oversimplified this phenomenon to the point of absurdity and teaches but a small fraction of its history. This is the spot for getting a serious understanding of it (from a more proletarian perspective) and collecting the facts that contemporary anticommunists are unlikely to discuss.
Posts should be relevant to either fascism or neofascism, otherwise they belong in !latestagecapitalism@lemmygrad.ml. If you are unsure if the subject matter is related to either, share it there instead. Off‐topic posts shall be removed.
No capitalist apologia or other anticommunism. No bigotry, including racism, misogyny, ableism, heterosexism, or xenophobia. Be respectful. This is a safe space where all comrades should feel welcome.
For our purposes, we consider early Shōwa Japan to be capitalism in decay.

Eminem was my favorite musician when I was a teenager. The movie 8 mile felt like I was seeing my own life being depicted. The loving but entirely incompetent and traumatized mother, the absolute monster of a stepfather and the sheer pointlessness of everyday life hit so hard I still choke when I watch it.
I saw this movie probably 10 times or so.
Oh and bonus points: em is on the spectrum afaik. Makes sense given his exceptional skills imo.
