    The privatization/defunding/enshittification of public services in favor of alternatively paying directly to large corporations, typically offering less value, will eventually lead to the workforce not being able to complete globally. You’d think that would be enough for them to be smart enough not to do that, but instead, they will just outsource the jobs to elsewhere.

    Not contradicting, trying to learn here. How is it a feature of capitalism, and not fascism? Or are the two similar enough they can effectively be put in the same group?

        Eh … capitalism is an economic model, fascism is political. One may enable or encourage the other, but I think it’s a bit of an exaggeration to say they are the same.

          What causes fascism to rise or fall? Whose interests does it serve? The economy is political, politics are economic in nature, you cannot divorce the two.
