Not every country is corrupt enough that this sort of takeover will work.

Those that are not will be invaded bombed into oblivion and they'll be under brutal economic sanctions embargoes etc to deliberately make material conditions as bad as possible for the people in those countries like capitalists have done to every nation that refused to let parasites plunder them
Fascism gets in using racism and xenophobia to win an election, and then erases democracy behind it. The country doesn't start as corrupt, but soon becomes wildly corrupt once the fascists take over.
A capitalist country starts corrupt The systemic incentives ensure it Capitalism is antidemocratic by nature Few employers rule over and steal the labour value from many employees then use that stolen value to buy policies or politicians on the free market Forcing evolution into fascism
In essence, there's nothing wrong with someone getting equitably compensated for their endeavors to produce a good or a service. It's also expected that the producer will try to get paid as much as the market allows. It's up to the political system to establish a level playing field for all.
But that is not happening it never gas under capitalism parasites are stealing the big half of everyone else's labour value that is where all profit comes from Stolen resources and/or stolen labour value
The political system is failing that test, and the fact that our government is captured by industry means it's getting worse, not better.
You're part of the political system. Contribute to making it the way you euphoria it to be.
That's just not true in any way shape or form at work you are a disposable battery you do what your told when your told and how your told all day every day In politics you are given 2 shit options both of which work for corporate donations not us Merging state and corporate power is called fascism
Check out the history of labor. You will noticed that a lot of positive changes occurred through people's struggles and pressure. Whenever that pressure relaxes, the gains that were achieved are reversed. Vigilance and protection of achieved gains must stay on relentlessly.
Exactly because we never addressed the cause of the problem You can't systemically incentivise obscene greed and disregard for life then hope to regulate the harms caused by doing that The only real solution it to stop incentivising shit behaviour and stop allowing exploitation
I meant to write "the way you wish it to be"
You make good points.
Communists usually do That's why we are taught to fear and dismiss them
And racism and xenophobia are great tools because the natural fear behind sharing resources w/others. Collapse of watersheds, desertification were some of the reasons behind the destabilization of Syria & others.Fascism always thrives w instability. (Based on what I read in Lester Brown's books.)
Precisely. Hence the rise of Fascism during the Great Depression. And fascists LOVE Global Warming, why else would they be pushing oil so hard? The greatest instability ever.
And we inadvertently drag those seeds around w/us when we flee (migrate) to other areas because of resource loss/food insecurity/job loss & regime issues. The locals see us as an unwelcome guest and xenophobia increases.
Oof.
Portugal, Spain and Italy were fascist regimes not so long ago
Germany sure is. I hope it doesn´t happen, but if so, not for a lack of corruption. We had a guy that killed people driving drunk become traffic minister, over 20 years ago. Things ain´t getting better. A politician swatted a guy for being called a dick online.
Which ? Give name
Otto Wiesheu the drunk driving minister and Grote, who some say, tho not me, is a bit of a dick. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_Wi... theweek.com/news/world-n...
