What Is Fascism?
October 28, 2024
My friend, Robyn Harte-Bunting, expands on the graphic above:
“I think of Fascism as Socialism but with the appearance of private property.
“…State’s managers can do very well for themselves to a far greater extent than in a pure Socialist system, at least for a while [maybe a long while, especially if following on from a period of genuine prosperity generated by the free market, as in the US, which looks more corporatist than at any point in the past].
But the essence is that both systems generate the Misesian Calculation Problem and are fragile and unsustainable.
From this point of view, we have a distinction without a difference.
It doesn’t matter that Fascism is overtly violent while Socialism is covertly violent.
Fascism is currently unfashionable but all varieties of statism will f*** you up.“
