Nazis Take Over America and Establish a New Reich
Nazis Take Over America and Establish a New Reich
With Joe Biden safely in the White House, America’s most powerful corporations have launched a new privatized reign of terror almost identical to Hitler’s Germany in the 1930s.
Conservative and Right-wing pundits endlessly cry about the “leftist” revolution sweeping across America. They’re correct that there is a threat but refuse to recognize the real problem. paraphrasing Sun Tsu, you can’t even begin to fight your enemy until you know who it is. By refusing to see the elephant in the room, conservatives are only hurting themselves.
There is nothing leftist about the neoliberal revolution in America today. I’m not playing a game of semantics and words matter. We’re racing into an era of corporate tyranny even worse than the notorious Robber Barons of 19th and early 20th Century America. This is textbook fascism and anyone who doubts that should look at how Neoliberals operate, and more importantly, what their goals are.
It hurts me on a cellular level that there are people out there who sincerely believe billionaires like Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates are closet Leninists. Do you honestly think the world’s most obscenely rich capitalists are plotting against… themselves? No, they’re not, and stop saying they are.
So if neoliberals aren’t communists, what are they? This is actually an easy question to answer. As Spock would say, “When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.”
What’s the opposite of communism? It’s fascism, of course. Anyone who’s seen a World War II movie, even a bad one, at least vaguely understands that fascists and communists don’t like each other. Let’s test this hypothesis and see if it holds water. If we’re going to talk about fascists, there’s no better place to start than the biggest fascist of all, the Nazis.
Right from the start, Hitler aligned himself with Germany’s most powerful corporations, and that partnership played a key role in his meteoric rise to power. He violently crushed unions on the behalf of his new bedfellows, and that was just the beginning. Socialists were the first people Hitler eradicated from society, even before the Jews. Hitler tirelessly worked to dismantle the public’s ownership of infrastructure and handed it over to corporations. And let’s not forget the most orgasmic gravy train of them all; war mobilization.
The Nazis’ state-sponsored white-collar banditry was so unprecedented in scale and pervasiveness, journalists didn’t even have words to describe it. The English language needed a whole new word for Hitler’s ambitious scheme, and underpaid writers facing a deadline in two hours are experts at making up words.
One particular word caught on, and pretty soon, everybody was using it. From that point onward, Hitler’s economic vision for Germany would be known as privatization. Origin stories are fun, but that one doesn’t get much fanfare in America, and it’s understandable why. If the general public knew that Hitler invented the very concept of privatization, that would make things awkward for a lot of our business and political leaders.
Fortunately, every mainstream academic institution and news outlet in the Western world brain dumped all useful knowledge about what Hitler did, except that he was a very bad boy who was mean to people. Weird, right? Why would they do that? I hope it’s not because our ruling class is doing the exact same things Hitler did and it’s important to make sure that nobody notices. Our ambulance-chasing vultures, I mean journalists, would never deliberately lie to people, would they?
Thankfully, neoliberals themselves have graciously abandoned all lip service to labor issues. With great pride, they are now the pawns of Neo-Nazism Inc.
“Bill would allow tech companies to create local governments.” When I first saw this headline, my mind made a feeble attempt to escape the unbearable clown dimension I’ve been trapped in since at least 2014, maybe earlier. If anyone out there is a fellow dimension shifter, and you’re asking yourself “Is there a way out? Is there hope?” The answer is no.
Announced with pride and not facing a peep of hostile news coverage, corporations will soon be able to build their own feudal slave states. What could make a CEO smile more than the right to legally terrorize and murder people with an iron fist? Ah, just like the good old days of the Industrial Revolution. Company towns are back with a vengeance!
Barring acts of God, our bleak future is inevitable. Even if this particular abomination of Third Reich fanfic doesn’t quite become codified, we’re only witnessing the first salvo with many more shots to follow. Shortly, there will be a hundred identical bills trying to squirm their way through state legislatures across the nation. Only a few need to see the light of day. One is enough. With even a single precedent, it’ll be the new normal for corporations to rule Americans like Medieval serfs.
That article I linked above reads like a well-written horror copy-pasta. It somehow gets even worse with each passing line of text. The proposed Nevada legislation has all bases covered:
-Corporations will be authorized to make and enforce their own laws. Read that again and think of the implications. The right to enforce laws inherently means the right to use force, up to and including lethal force. Fun, right? Corporations can already “cancel” us from public platforms, and soon, they’ll be able to cancel us from being alive. Every R-rated 1980s action movie just became real, and we’re the civilians who get gunned down by corporate mercenaries in the opening scene. Yes, “murdered by Facebook death squad” is a thing that can literally happen now.
Who would have guessed? Mark Zuckerberg, that goofy, insufferable t-shirt wearing prick, is going to be part of a new class of domestic war criminals. I already have this mental image of a somber museum dedicated to the infamous Zuck Killing Fields. “Here lie the victims of the Zuckerberg Holocaust, 2023-2061” the epitaph reads. “Casualties: 5 Million.” I hope he got bullied a lot in Middle School, because that’s the only comfort we have left.
-Participating corporations need to have at least $250 million and a plan to (pinkie swear) invest at least $1 billion into their company town over ten years. This is extremely important. It has to be made abundantly clear from Day #1 that only rich people can play. Imagine the chaos if they didn’t include this rule! Any ol’ group of Americans might decide they would like to incorporate and have their own plot of land where they can be left alone and not live in constant fear of being “canceled.” That simply wouldn’t do!
Only mega-powerful corporations can be feudal tyrants. If you’re anyone else, discard foolish delusions that you’ll be allowed even a crumb of land. You’re a serf and will always be a serf. Don’t get uppity. Remember that corporations have the right to kill you at any time and for any reason, as established by the previous rule.
The corporation leading the charge for privatized slave labor camps is a certain Blockchains, LLC. That’s interesting in itself. One of the defining and most royally effed up things about company towns in the late 19th and early 20th centuries was they also forced their inhabitants to use company-issued currency. Unsurprisingly, corporations were greedy bastards who overpriced the goods in their general stores, leaving pretty much all the workers just barely scraping by and up to their eyeballs in debt. Forcing people to work just to put them into unpayable debt to their own employer sounds pretty awful, but not if you’re a fascist.
That’s relevant now because blockchain is an ideal form of currency in the 21st century. It has the added bonus of being totally worthless. While it’s true that all currency’s value is imaginary, at least the paper Dollar actually, you know, exists. The Federal government also has to at least pretend to respect the Dollar. There are real-life consequences for a government that gets too greedy devaluing its magic toilet tissue. But if corporations could make up their own bullshit cryptocurrencies in the spirit of their fascist ancestors of the Industrial Revolution, they could do whatever they wanted and no one would call them on it.
But all those things you just described are against the law! Dear Reader, look at tech companies now, without company towns. Are they obeying the current laws they’re subject to? No? Then why do you think they would obey additional laws?
I’m also not being hypothetical. In 1892, Andrew Carnegie deployed armed Pinkertons for a full-scale assault on a town of striking Pennsylvanian steelworkers. Look up the West Virginia Coal Wars for even more extreme examples of corporate violence against American citizens.
If corporations get their own feudal states, complete with private armies, do you think they wouldn’t all instantly become Hitler wannabes? Let’s not delude ourselves, or downplay how utterly disastrous this trend is.
We’ve spent years grinding our teeth in fear that someone might be cloning Lenin in his basement, and didn’t notice neoliberals sacking the whole country like barbarian hordes raping their way through Italy. We collectively fiddled while civilization burned. Come to think of it, everyone pokes fun at Nero for fiddling while Rome burned and I think that’s pretty unfair. What was the guy supposed to do? Run outside and join a bucket brigade? Nero couldn’t have done anything, but we certainly could have.
While we were looking behind every bush and under every rock for Ivan, neoliberals seized control of every institution that matters. After they were done, they locked everyone else outside, making us look dumber than characters in a comedy film for children. Now they’re celebrating by the fireplace and dividing up all the stuff they stole from us.
Here’s but a partial list of what we stand to lose:
-Our video games. Except Fallout 76, because nobody actually likes that game.
-Roughly 83 billion Pokémon cards accumulating across America since the ’90s.
-Those stupid beanbag animals that were only popular because the CIA drugged our water supply and I refuse to accept any other explanation.
-Everybody’s rare stamp collection. There’s enough unused postage to overnight mail a Saturn V rocket to Siberia. This is done immediately, causing the postal service to collapse. It’s replaced by a corporation.
– Novelty state coins that every suburban millennial kid was trying to collect all 50 of, but no one has ever succeeded. I’m fairly sure a couple state governments forgot to make a coin at all. What was the point to begin with? Obviously, this was an experiment to see how many coins would stay in circulation. We all lost interest at the same time because the CIA deactivated their 5G brainwashing transmitters.
-All copies and editions of Berenstein Bears. We weren’t crazy, the Mandela Effect is real, and we do have fragmented memories from a parallel universe where Berenstein is spelled with a “stein.” Nancy Pelosi orders the books burned and leftover ashes thrown into a pit. The workers are also thrown into the pit and buried alive. There can be no witnesses.
-Wait, no, no! Not my 1960s Playboy collection!
Is any of this really so shocking or controversial? Everyone has a dream. If your dream is to fly to the Moon, you’ll probably look up to an astronaut. If your dream is to write sonnets, you’ll look up to a poet. If your dream is to wield absolute power to control and destroy other people as you please, then a Nazi is the perfect role model for you.
Neoliberals are just as extreme as Hitler’s cultists who put people in death camps. They incrementally weaponize Cancel Culture as fast as they can get away with, and it’s never enough for them. With Joe Biden safely in the White House, neoliberals are comfortable saying that they want people to be murdered by government predator drones. It’s self-demonstrating. Neoliberals are the new Nazis, and are exactly the same as the original Nazis in every way that matters.
If conservatives want to sit around and swing their bats at a communist pinata that exists only in their imaginations, they have the God-given right to have at it. The problem is that if they do this, they lose, and so do the rest of us. the American Right is the only coalition with the numbers and money to make a meaningful difference in a counter-revolution.
