Never have we said the words should be removed from (correct, historical) usage.
I dare say the native Americans and other victims of colonialism would agree that the Holocaust was indeed capitalist business as usual – as would the Palestinians.
Yes. As soon as the slave-owning bourgeois colonial gentry had defeated the British, they squeezed the poor farmers and crushed them when they rebelled (Shay’s rebellion). “OUR war of independence, not yours!” was the message, no matter that the poor had been deceived; after 1776 they had to buckle under again and know their place.
For the rural mass of the Russian population the “proletarian revolution” was a tinkle by telegraph.
“Nazism” is the excuse Putin’s govt. used to scare the Russian populace into supporting the bombing of Ukraine, and the Kiev Ukrainians call Putin “Putler.” In the UK, the govt. always reverts to WW2 verbiage about being “in it together” to fight a war, and the Greens and lefties join in for “helping Ukraine.”
So many Nazis, more Nazis than humans! Nazis fighting Nazis everywhere. It’s a “nazipourrie”!
Ideology? The main thing in people’s minds when they call someone a “fascist” is racism. But Fascism before 1938 wasn’t racist. Nazism was racist, but the Nazis didn’t call themselves fascists. Fascism was Mussolini, and the Nazis had a lot of trouble trying to get Mussolini to listen to their racist policies.
Today, both “fascist” and “Nazi” are mere epithets that people throw at one another. They are meaningless.Vance would still only have the rest of Trump’s term. Anyway, that is irrelevant, since capitalism determines how politicians act, not themselves.
There would have been a Second world war even if Hitler had never been born. Napoleon was more of a materialist than you when he said, “If not me, then someone else.”
When Trump is gone in three years, the same cycle of wars and crises and despoliation and pollution and holocausts on nature will continue under another President, Republican or Democrat, and that has nothing to do with Fascism (a dead Italian movement), but everything to do with modern capitalism.
Similar protests will continue after Trump is forgotten, and leftists will still be shouting about “fascism” and activists of every type protesting about this and that: and still ignoring and poo-pooing our message. And so it goes on.Critiquing fascism has never led to critiquing capitalism, but has hijacked the working class onto another reformist path. Far from representing workers’ interests, self-styled anti-fascists recently tried to obstruct an anti-war march in Germany because it was nationalist-led.
The fact is well known in the SPGB of the Communist Party of the 1940s critiquing us for opposing the war instead of enlisting “to fight fascism.”-

Obsession with “fascism” is a leftist, Leninist, obsession, to justify WW2 and wars of “national liberation” etc., all distracting the workers from the fact that it is capitalism that needs abolishing. “Fight fascism!” is yet another reformist slogan that trendy lefties are always spouting.
NATO readies for clash with Russia.
