again you can see this most clearly when looked at in its most developed and perfect form, in the conspiracy fears of transhumanism.
The motif of elite/celebrity organised paedophilia is also an extremely powerful attractor in this space - the ultimate sin against nature, against the fundamental human bonds which reproduce society, protect the vulnerable etc
I mean they actually are all nonces, but. It still functions as a sort of blood-libel.
i don't think anyone in the world has a coherent position on any of this. everyones stance has become a mess of contradictions and fudging.
I've been wondering for a whether we could do with a thread about "right-wing anti-capitalism".positions are becoming increasingly incoherent. tending towards an anti capitalist right and a pro capitalist left.
Ha! Well I sometimes try and get involved but you default to telling me I've got the wrong end of the stick.yeah ive talked about this loads but you ignore everything i say
I've never been in a sex basement, so I can only imagine - at length and in salacious detail - what kinds of things they get up to in them.
I think Nazi Germany can fairly be called 'state-capitalist', in that wealth remained in private hands but the economy was directly controlled by the government. The British and American economies worked along similar lines during the war, I understand. Something similar seems to have emerge independently in China, which is looking more and more like Nazi Germany all the time.I mean to start with the obvious, classical fascism/Nazism was explicitly against the free flow of capital, the speculations of (((financiers))) etc - very much in favour of private property, corporatism, the wage labour relation (with unions firmly kept in their place) etc, but the explicit offer was of strong popular government against the Judeo-Bolshevism which had weakened economies, undermined cultural integrity/racial purity, and sapped the nation's will (i.e. ability to act coherently in its own interests). So it's "anti-capitalism" only up to a point - there are still very much bosses, owners, private wealth and so on, it's just that the ruling framework is provided by the state/nation, which acts to protect the interests of its own against the predations of transnational actors and the sedition of enemies within.
Yes, of course there isn't really. What I'm getting at is the right-wing populist movements that have convinced a lot of people that they're under attack by a nebulous "elite" - which includes anyone who reads the Guardian or New York Times but not, apparently, billionaire real estate barons - so the left, which in other circumstances would benefit from this discontent, loses out to a resurgence of nationalism, nativism and (in the USA, certainly, less so the UK) religion.There is no "right-wing anti-capitalism" that proposes to disrupt this fundamental arrangement in any way...
