When I was in school, I had many teachers who wanted to teach about Marxism. Some of them liked it, some of them didn’t. But it seemed to be a standard view in liberal arts that everyone ought to at least understand what Marxism was all about.
But they never teach anyone about fascism.
In my view, we absolutely have a fascist system in the US and in most of the West. Sure, the Germans lost WWII — but the fascists won.
Big businesses crush little businesses. Big businesses become rich — just so long as they run their business the way the government wants them to. And government becomes rich and powerful — just so long as they serve the interests of the business class. It’s symbiotic. But ordinary people get screwed at both ends.
“I don’t need sex...my government screws me every day” applies.
