Didn’t Germany, Italy and Spain have ‘limited capitalist democracies’ in the ’30s? Anyone who has any doubt that Trump is a Fascist is burying their heads deep in the sand. The idea that Fascism was defeated in the 1940s has not been paying attention to regimes in South America and Africa etc., etc. Are you sure this denial is Party policy?Italy, Germany and Spain did not have the same solidified capitalist democracy as France, England and the USA during the 1930. They do have now, and Fascism can not be established in those countries in this epoch . Donald Trump has been limited on several of his attempt to establish his authoritarian measures.
From the Socialist Standard
One thing that Italy and Germany had in common was that they were relatively recent unified states, in 1870 and 1871 respectively. As a result, feelings of national unity were not as strong as in longer-established states such as Britain and France. The more virulent nationalism there reflected the ruling class’s need for a stronger central state that could overcome the remaining regionalist loyalties.In the case of Germany, its attempt in 1914 to get a place in the sun commensurate with its industrial and trading strength, inevitably at the expense of Britain and France which had carved out substantial colonial empires for themselves, had failed. But the problem remained for their capitalist class and any second attempt was going to be more aggressive because more desperate.
Fascism, then, in its proper sense was an inter-world-war historical phenomenon which is not going to repeat itself because the conditions of that time are not going to. In this sense classical fascism is not a threat. So why ‘anti-fascism’ today?
Why is it so easy for the US now to crush Cuba, after so many decades of “face off”?
————————————————————————————————
Capitalism has reached a new phase in our times, and the situation in Latin America has changed too, and Cuba has been squeezed more in our time than in prior epochs, and Cuban state capitalism is in a deeper crisis than in prior epoch too, and at the present time capitalism has removed its hypocritical masks of national sovereignty, human rights, and constitutional rights, and openly they are showing their own aims and interests against other countries, workers have elected leaders who do not care about those principles anymore, like in the case of the USA and Brasil, Trump openly has said that he is willing to depose and destroy cuba, and public said that he is going to destroy Iran, before there was not any president that was openly committed to those criminals threats .
