Comment on Why fascism?
Cypher@lemmy.world 4 days agoMany people fail to grasp this, fascism is the mutual merger of state and corporate power.
Both work to enhance the control the other exerts in specific areas, such as corporate capture of regulatory bodies, and state capture of media.
Fearful idiots are easily duped by the state and media into ‘othering’ a group of people.
Claims that the ‘other’ group are weaklings eroding the country but powerful enough to be running some kind of shadow government are common in fascism.
This gives more ‘reason’ for the fearful idiots to push their ‘saviour’ figure into the role of dictator.
