Capitalism has nothing to do with Nazism. If you find a capitalist throwing a sieg heil, they're a Nazi. If you find a Buddhist or a Marxist or a Christian or literally anyone working with people who throw sieg heils, they're a Nazi. If you (the general you, not you specifically) find yourself continuing to voice support for a president who didn't immediately get rid of Musk after he sieg heil'd on TV TWICE, you're a fuckin Nazi.
Nobody should have to tell you this.
Brother capitalism has a lot to do with Nazism. They're intrinsically linked. Capitalism always devolves into fascism. It's the end result.
Fascism is not Nazism, but Nazism is a flavour of fascism.
I do understand what you mean and historically you're absolutely right, it has always devolved into fascism. I don't think you can name a system of government that hasn't either started there or ended up there. But that was a process, capitalism isn't written that way on paper at all. The tenets don't line up. Like how communism in practice has very little to do with fascism (the managed economy bits often look similar on paper, though).
Am I missing something here? Where did anyone express support for Trump? This is the first I have heard about him in this thread - unless I have missed something obvious here this topic along with Nazism has come out of nowhere. I thought this meme was about capitalist exploitation or something. When did US politics get involved?
