    Most of those are quite business as usual for capitalism though. Calling it fascist while good for drawing a parallel isn’t entirely true. Its peak capitalist settler colonialism which is pretty close but not entirely fascist. Communist parties are still legal, people still have some civil protections (not many, but far more than you’d have in Nazi Germany or Fascist Italy). The US is basically diet fascist. Not quite fully there, but doing as much as it can to get close to it.

    Like I said, if the left actually got its shit together then the US would happily fully implement fascism but really that is the only reason it hasn’t fully done so.

    About as fascist as any other capitalist nation. Which is to say if there was any threat to the Russian bourgeois by their working class it would be. Probably the only reason the US isn’t full fascist yet is because leftism is so dead in this country that the capitalist class doesn’t need to worry about such things.
