Does it seem to anyone else like the bourgeoisie today........ [View all]

is a whole lot quicker on the trigger to bring out the fascists than they were back in the 30s? Back then, they only trotted out and supported the far-right when there was an actual existential threat to the system. Today it seems like they'll bring out their fascist attack dogs just because it gains them a temporary advantage in the short term.

Is it hubris? They ALWAYS think they can control these social forces, but are they more prideful about it today than before?

BTW, all are welcome to comment, but please remember this is posted in the Socialist Progressive forum, a protected group. No red baiting.
