8. The Nitty Gritty: Capitalism & Fascism

A war would be disastrous for both countries. Especially the US.

If you mention the Israel lobby in the mainstream media then, more often than not, you’ll face accusations of antisemitism. There are of course people who ta...

Right now, Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, is attempting to dismantle major agencies of the federal government which are designed to protect the needs of working families and the disadvantaged. These agencies were created by the U.S. Congress and it is Congress’ responsibility to maintain them, reform them or end them. It is not Mr. Musk’s responsibility. What Mr. Musk is doing is patently illegal and unconstitutional – and must be stopped.

When we see a parallel government taking shape, we should not refrain from calling fascism what it is.

The super rich are in command, as Donald Trump and Elon Musk run a rampage on the working class. To stop them, the labor movement needs to lead.

In the wake of Hamas's deadly rampage of October 7, some Israelis are remembering Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's previous attempts to "keep Hamas alive" as a counterweight to more moderate Palestinian groups.

Last night, we visited Tesla’s European HQ in Amsterdam to tell the story of how one of the world’s richest people bought the ‘digital town square’, then used it to peddle disinformation and help push Donald Trump to victory. There are many reasons why Trump won the US election. But the use of vast oligarchic wealth, like Elon Musk’s, to change our media environment is a key part of the story. Trump’s victory could add 4bn tonnes of CO2 to US emissions by 2030. Despite owning an electric car company, Musk is now a dangerous impediment to climate action.

Canada and the European Commission need to suspend X operations and investigate whether or not these allegations can be corroborated, if yes, lawsuits, sanctions, and an Interpol red and silver notice are necessary against X Corp, Elon Musk, and his collaborators.

John Kelly, the retired Marine general who was Donald Trump’s White House chief of staff, entered the 2024 fray in stunning fashion, saying the former president fits “into the general definition of fascist” and wanted the “kind of generals Hitler had” in a series of interviews published Tuesday.

Somebody finally called out Bill Maher’s smug nonsense to his face. On an episode of his ‘Club Random Podcast’ Bill Maher tried to lie about student protesters, but his guest, comedian Bill Burr, wasn’t having it. Burr shut down Maher’s comments and put him in his place. In this video we’ll talk about this satisfying exchange and discuss horrifying new developments in Gaza.

The 10 tactics of fascism, with Jason Stanley Subscribe to Big Think on YouTube ►► https://www.youtube.com/c/bigthink Up next ►►"Never Again?" How fascism hijacks democracies over and over https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ye4jKSNHhms Fascism is a cult of the leader, who promises national restoration in the face of supposed humiliation by immigrants, leftists, liberals, minorities, homosexuals, women, in the face of what the fascist leader says is a takeover of the country's media, cultural institutions, schools by these forces. Fascist movements typically, though not invariably, rest on an urban/rural divide. The cities are where there's decadence, where the elites congregate, where there's immigrants, and where there's criminality. Each of these individuals alone is not in and of itself fascist, but you have to worry when they're all grouped together, seeing the other as less than. Those moments are the times when societies need to worry about fascism.
