that's not what i was claiming, and i don't recall saying anything about moralism (not particularly since i think moralism is a waste of everyone's time and energy). what i was trying to say is that when capitalism is in decline, movements arise to figure out what to do next. a century ago the main movers in that space were anarchist trade unionists, communist parties, and democratic socialists seeking to implement a new economic system. fascism arises as a counter to these things by co-opting the messaging of people looking to make a better world but with the aim of maintaining the current one. their propaganda works by promising to extend the benefits of aristocracy to more white (still using the same version of the word as before) people in return for those white people degrading the living quality of their minority neighbors.

Books i recommend that brought me to this understanding of how fascist propaganda works so we can counter it:

• Settlers - J Sekai
• Inventing Reality - Michael Piaenti
• Ur-Fascism - Umberto Eco
• Fascism is Capitalism in Decay - Vladimir Lenin
• Song for a Hard Hit People: Lessons in Anti-racism From a Coal Miner's Daughter - Beth Howard
