      The OGs baby.

      The Nazis developed the Nuremburg race Laws and the "Final Solution" by studying American history and society. They thought that Jim Crow and Black Codes were some good shit, and things like the Trail of Tears and Native American reservations impressed them in regards to "the feasability and practicality of carrying out genocide."

        the roadblock that libs have when they try to understand fascism is they view fascism as a regime. failed regimes in fact. afterall, we defeated fascism!!! it doesnt work, the same way communinism doesnt work!!! it's like dividing a number by 0.

        but let's think about fascism as a society. what society would the regimes of fascist germany, and Italy have created had they not been defeated? idk...

        but in America I think you have that answer. this is it; a dictatorship of the bourgious that holds elections which wont chage shit, a militaristic state, a state so thoroughly capitalistic that it cant lockdown for more than a month...

        Mussolini got elected on a promise to give women the right to vote. once he got elected, he said only in municipal elections. then he said only women with a specific level of education. after that he said only women with a certain level of education that were married to men who paid greater then a certain amount of taxes.

        fascism is comedy when viewed from a far enough lens. it's the embodiment of capitalism's contradictions. that's exactly what America is.

        I do wonder if Generalplan Ost was considered feasible because of America's example of pushing west.

          Oh yeah, how could I forget that Lebensraum is identical to manifest destiny.
