On fascism



There are lot of argument on fascism now,
But, in current international credit system, the term fascism seems to be
inadequate.
In 1930', there were strong but union-dependent social democrat and
communist party.  And on the other hand strong united financial capital
existed in Europe and US.
For example, Hitler proposed national social democrat which insist on
nationalism, racism, anti-communism and critique of money.
He organized poorest unorganized worker and national financial capitals
Which integrate national real capitals. He won because left depended upon
trade union, and trade union is essentially conservative character as Marx
said. So in crisis situation trade union was unprepared with political
struggle, and Luxemburg etc. argued bottom-up method of organizing , so
worker's political awareness remain within trade-union interest level.
On the contrary, Hitler organized top-down organizing method. Important is
that Hitler's win resulted from not petite bourgeois rebel rather poorest
workers anger and organizing financial capitals.
In current international credit system, financial capitals organize beyond
nation-state internationally as commodified international capital, and its
political institution such as IMF, World bank etc. determine flow of
capital, so these international capital not works within nation-state but
beyond nation-state. It is the reason current far right fails to organize
capital. Fascism was nation-state organization movement, so nation-state
dependent financial capital which compete with each other gained its
political form as fascism,and led to war.
In current situation, capital flow freely moves beyond nation-state, so it
is unnecessary for capital to organize it own within nation-state.
Rather,contradiction of capital and labor appears as South-North, or
G8-third world. Neo-fascist targets ethnic minority, poor worker, immigrants
etc, and doesn't target other country. It is the difference between 1930'
and 2000'.
So if we call neo-fascist similar to 1930's fascism, it seems incorrect.
Rather we may better call them as racist, anti-immigrant etc, as concrete
terms.
