    What do you think most imperial clients state are like, in many Third World countries the state is the perfect union between the international and local corporate elites and the military, the only major historical difference between these states and the European fascist states is the defense industry is international instead of internal

        It's the primary element and the one that matters the most, the only elements I didn't mention are the underlying conditions and the cult of nation, which frankly when talking about the political structures of third world states I assumed was a given lol

        Those core elements of their ideology only concern the people inside their borders. Under globalization the excesses of fascism must necessarily be lanced away. Seizing territory is a 20th century phenomenon and explicitly reinforcing racial hierarchies hasn't been necessary in the United States.

        The meritocratic self-justification of hierarchies and automatic self-neutralization of dissent under liberalism is materially far superior to any results that Hitler and Mussolini's old and inelegant methods could ever obtain.
