Someone on true anon yesterday was talking about how this is Matt Christman’s definition of “post-fascism” not sure what he means by that, but it sounds like he was cooking.

How is any of that “post” fascism? It sounds like regular fascism in its somewhat early/mid stages before they completely seize power, it might come to that an it might not that remains to be seen but it’s still a “regular” fascist movement. The Trump/MAGA movement has all the hallmarks of regular-ass fascism: return the nation to some mythical former glory by way of strongmen, militarism, misogyny, having some “others” as the enemy etc.
Imagine they said Fascism 2.0. Trump, Euro-nazis, etc. don’t need to do the seizing of power because global capital already did it. They’re just slipping into it like a hand in glove. There’s not going to be a fascist spectacle or big break from normality because neoliberal fascism has been slowly converting imperial society into a 21st century fascism.
Notice the way Trump has been doing fascism in the US isn’t by creating any new organizations (except space force I guess) but by peeling away or gimping organizations like USAID, EPA, education, etc.
I’ve been saying for years that Keynesian third way neoliberalism is just slower paced fascism that knows how to tie its shoes.
