[Marxism] Re: Return Of The Renters

[Chris Brady <cdbrady@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yeah, I can see the operational definition of the USA at this point in
history as not characteristically fascist.  But I agree with Ward
Churchill about the experience of Native Americans that the US
Government has operated in a fascistic fashion toward Indians.  I also
remember, quite vividly, the hyper-belligerent attitude and
confrontational tactics of the swarm of Republican storm troopers in
mufti who assaulted the election offices in Florida during the final
moments of the last Presidential contest.  I can still see their
hysterical, raging, white, male, thuggish faces, their violent,
intimidating gestures, and their civilian, middle-class style of dress
(in lieu of brown shirts or bandoliers).  Fascism is always there for
the taking, if capital requires it.  Ultimately, though, in the
capitalist mode fascism remains a subordinate feature, overt or covert,
dormant or active, as it may be.
