        “Listen up 1940’s Poland and France! The nazis didn’t invade you. The fascism is always homegrown”.

        Da fuck?

          Did Italy invade Germany to spread fascism there, before Germany spread it France? Did either country invade the US to start the 1940s America First movement? Use your head. Obviously an invasion is different.

            No, Hitler was the only one. He spread it around like a drop of ink in a puddle of water. Free countries like mine weren’t affected because were Free which is like metaphorical wax paper boat against the inky puddle of fascism. When Hitler died all the fascism evaporated like, let’s say, a puddle in the sun, not the puddle from before, but a new puddle because it’s a different metaphor now.

      Fascism wasn’t founded in some far off land and infected Europe. Fascism was created in Europe and spread to the rest of the world. This is the fruits of their labor sown long ago.

        Fascism is European… Europe is an inherently fascist culture. Mountains are reduced to gravel, and water tables are used for coolant, the land becomes uninhabitable and in the european mind this is called “development.” Capitalism, fascism, socialism, communism - regardless the whole universe and every living organism in it is open to this sort of insanity. Time to start studying 3rd world, or what europeans like to call “underdeveloped” cultures. The whole Enlightenment started from the indigenous critique of european culture by native americans, the same ideas that (almost) overthrew the monarchy. We need to consult more of THOSE cultures, and less “european continuation” -isms.
