A Tattered Scrapbook@anolandria The same argument also applies to capitalists…
DarcySorry Tatterd they are not even close to comparable.
I agree Capitalist are depraved but Nazis and Fascism are in a league of their own.
@Mor696 @anolandria If you look at the people standing together at DJT’s inauguration, and think about the role played by companies like Krupp in 1930s Germany, and the shadowy role played by fossil fuel and military contractors in ongoing genocides, and the reason why postwar Japan had to (pretend to) break up the zaibatsu, you may start to conclude that there is less than a hair’s breadth from one group to the other. Or, perhaps, choose to block me…

Cuba has comparable life expectancy as USA for the fraction of the cost. …with an illegal trade blockade.
Unless your definition of “success” is capital in the hands of the richest.
Also yes, capitalism has won so *hard* that we're paying the additional price of it crumbling into fascism.
@MichealDeSanta @dzwiedziu @Mor696 @anolandria People are fleeing the US. People outside the US are being killed by US weapons. People are being deported from the US to the world’s most repressive (per capita) prison state. I’m not quite sure how your “point” illustrates capitalism “winning”.
@Tattered @MichealDeSanta @dzwiedziu @anolandria
I'm not sure your "repressive (per capita) prison state" is correct.
The US has the most prisoners of any country in the world. Followed by China who has about 100K less. But the population of China is 1.419 Billion & the US is 340 Million.
Let's figure that out?
@Mor696 @MichealDeSanta @dzwiedziu @anolandria Good grief! “Deported to”. El Salvador has the greatest prison population per capita.

Feel free to apologize.
@Mor696 @MichealDeSanta @dzwiedziu @anolandria By the way, China has a much lower per capita imprisonment rate than the US, while Cuba’s is higher. My point was that “repression” is not an indicator of “winning” in the same way that China ≠ Cuba. But fascism is an outcome of capitalism, which was the original point.
