Fascism is fundamentally not a racial ideology, certainly less racist than Marxism and much less racist than Nazism. Marx was an ethnic Jew and an ardent anti-semite who considered capitalism and Jewishness inextricably linked. Jews were capitalists and Capitalism was Jewish, thus the term "Jewish Capitalism" that Hitler latched on to. I could go on to categorize today's Neo-Marxist hyper-focus on race, but that would likely derail the entire thread lol. I understand the deep-rooted desire to obfuscate the issue and preserve the current false dichotomy status-quo, so let's agree to end it there.
get a load of this guy
