SF protest

"Fascism should more appropriately be called corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power." -Mussolini

The only difference between what we have here and now and classical fascism is now they wear white shirts.

Very empirical evidence. The photo shows resistance and a mistaken ideological concept. If the US were fascist today, the demonstration would have been attacked, tens of thousands would have been arrested, for months if not years, and teams of declassed thugs would have physically attacked the demonstrations, burned the offices of the organizers, etc.

However, the US is not above the laws of capitalism and a new revolutionary wave is being to emerge worldwide. The US demonstrations on Feb 15 and 16 were a micro-manifestation of that resistence to the new world order's implementation.

While the sign in the photo is "wrong" it at least exhibits optimism and resistance instead of cynically announcing that there will never be a revolution here.

Many neighborhood in the US resemble a police state, mainly African Amerian, Hispanic and Native American, and occaisionally white working class areas as well. If the signmaker made an ideologically naive error, well at least that person was attempting to denounce the system, instead of denouncing revolution.

a) The poster-maker can't spell "fascism".
b) The poster-maker got the swastika backwards.

It was probably one of those freeper trolls who also did this:

The Fascist State organizes the nation, but leaves a sufficient margin of liberty to the individual; the latter is deprived of all useless and possibly harmful freedom, but retains what is essential; the deciding power in this question cannot be the individual, but the State alone. For Fascism, the growth of empire, that is to say the expansion of the nation, is an essential manifestation of vitality, and its opposite a sign of decadence. But empire demands discipline, the coordination of all forces and a deeply felt sense of duty and sacrifice: this fact explains many aspects of the practical working of the regime, the character of many forces in the State, and the necessarily severe measures which must be taken against those who would oppose this spontaneous and inevitable movement.
