    a conservative in denial

    You think this is some game

    I’m not here for your bullshit. You’re the one playing games.

    Want to settle this? Find me a single article online written by a credible source that describes unequivocally how Mexico is a fascist state. Go ahead, I’ll wait.

      I already proved it, you just keep denying it. As I said it is okay if your country is not what you think it is.

      I suppose most people would not agree the US is fascist. It is and has been ever since corporations took hold. It was always proto-fascists though. They just didn’t invent a word for it yet.

      Mussolini said fascism should more appropriately be called corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power. People seem to link it Nazism, but in reality it is not about that.

      You see the Nazi modeled their final solution after what the US had done to the Native Americans. They admired the fascist state the US had created and how they murdered the Native Americans en masse.

      To top it off a bunch of wealthy US people were bankrolling the Nazi. US business was even helping them. IBM used their computing power to number the Jews for extermination.

      Of course the US went on to spread fascism all over the world. They called it “Democracy” but it is just authoritarianism coupled with unchecked capitalism using the wealthy’s favorite proxy, the corporation.

      I get why you get all defensive. I am clearly not going to convince you that your country is fascist, but it definitely is. Most people will disagree with me, but they are wrong.

      Fascism, as I pointed out, is when authoritarianism meets corporations. This unchecked capitalism brings out the worst of people. It produces billionaires and soon to be the first trillionaire.

      It doesn’t have to be wrapped up in Nazism, it has many flavors like fascism lite with the first women president who is here to change things aka maintain the stays quo for the wealthy.

      Until this is reigned in we are all living in a fascist world controlled by government infested with corporations directed by the wealthy. The is no democracy just more breads and circuses for you. And boy do you eat it up!

      Trust me, I come from a very fascist society. I can sense this stuff a mile away. The Mexican people are wonderful, but their government is beyond corrupt.

      I hope you prove me wrong and everything magically changes from this point on for Mexico because their track record is looking bleak. The statistics don’t lie.

      I have no doubt the US will also pull Mexico down as it already has and will continue to. Once you realize the truth it sets you free. You no longer wonder why you have militarized police or why people disappear. It is the corruption inherent in the system.

      For me it brings a certain amount of peace. I am no longer gaslight by everyone all around me. It begins to make sense. Then I can start working on real solutions.

        Good luck with your search, I’ll be waiting.

            Good for you. I got my list of sources describing fascism in the USA, btw. Let me know when you’re ready to swap.

              Uh the USA is like the original fascist nation, we spread it all over the world including Mexico. You think you are going to teach me something when I just explained the USA is worse than the Nazi!?

                Just letting you know that when things are true, credible people and experts write about them. However, you could seriously use a refresher on what fascism is, so maybe you’ll learn something after all, if you’re willing.

                  I already explained most people won’t agree. It is okay, I don’t need your approval. I define fascism as corporatism. I think I will take Mussolini’s word over yours considering that is exactly how the US and Mexico are really run.

                    I define fascism as corporatism

                    And I don’t need your shitty, inconsistent definitions while being told that I don’t know things. As I said, I’m not here for your bullshit.

                    This goes beyond the layman’s opinion of you or me. If I can find sources talking about fascism in whatever form it presents itself in any other nation, there surely must be some for Mexico. Let’s see it, then. Prove your case.
