China’s Response to disaster vs America’s: This is the value of a Fascist State (Where fascist means Ethnonationalist, Authoritarian, State Capitalist, Mandatory Conformist.)
And people prefer it.
China demonstrated that Fascism won the 20th. Heterogeneous Immigration demonstrated that Democracy lost the 20th.

—“Fascism isn’t state capitalist. it doesn’t take sides on economics, it applies pressure on markets as the situation demands. If you want to read anything about Fascist Economics, I’d recommend, The Economic Foundations of Fascism by Paul Enzig And Hitler’s Revolution by R. Tedor”– A ( Intelligent and Informed) Friend
Hitler wasn’t the only fascist – he was just the last. So yes, the state:
(a) prevents contra-autarkic arbitrage for profit and exploitation of state resources (the same thing);
(b) biases production to commons by use of state financing;
(c) overrides market incentives when needed.
So we can fuss around with terms. But the bias in private capitalism is non interference in markets except by treating the state as just another customer, while state capitalism places higher priority on state as a customer than the market – particularly international market.
—“A fascist wouldn’t consider the state as anything as reductive as a customer. Or anything of the sort. The state is the arbiter of the people, it IS the people. “All within the state, Nothing outside the State, Nothing against the State” the state comes before all else.”—Hauptgefreitersiege @Hauptgefreiter1
This is a secular theological, or philosophical, rather than scientific or operational description. I understand the “strange’ continental obsession with restoring the theology of the church with some secular theology – from Rousseau to Kant to Marx to present – Europe is ‘stuck’.
But this point of view is one of an anglo who descends from the minor aristocracy, and the puritanical, empirical, common law tradition. We can understand the continent but the continent cannot understand us. We escaped even secular theology – I just don’t know if it was good.
Hugs brother. Thanks for letting me riff on your comment.
