Being petty bourgeois they genuinely have a closer connection to the working class than the transnationalist bourgeoisie. Their xenophobia comes from a place of trying to protect the local community in a way that would genuinely protect them but that is wholly insufficient because it is not genuine community power, it is exclusionary though radical reaction (hence their failure to stop NAFTA because the type of protection that they would benefit from is insufficient to combat the contradictions of liberalism). Their :brainworms: about the protection of their local community in a fascist way conflicting with their need for cheap foreign labor is a contradiction of capitalism and the petty bourgeois do not have the revolutionary potential to address it. This lack of revolutionary potential fuels the death drive in the petty bourgeois and is the source of the fascist ideology
In the inverse the true bourgeois support a ‘liberal’ open borders strategy that provides cheap labor on conditions that benefit their donors’ specific forms. This contradiction between the common forms of capital personified is the only political question still being debated in the US political system, though truly you have no democratic recourse to influence it yourself. And of course the true solution is not allowed on the multiple choice quiz :hammer-sickle:
I also like that when you play risk and there emerges a strong power one could just put enough troops at your border so that it is more easy for the imperial hegemon to attack someone else first so that you live longer, even though teaming up on the hegemon would be the way to bring them down to your level again.
Fascists view local successes ie concentrating migrants and asylum seekers in camps as win - the cruelty is the point - even if it doesn't change the system dynamics and will come to haunt them sooner or later when they themselves are interned in the climate wars by an imperial power (at worst) or the revolutionary troops (at best).
