Fascism, Democracy, and Capitalism
This chapter explores the intricate relationship between fascism and democracy, arguing that the rise of authoritarianism is rooted in capitalist interests rather than a straightforward conflict between the two. It critiques the Democratic Party's alignment with far-right ideologies while examining historical ties between American elites and Nazi Germany. The conversation emphasizes the need for a united left movement to effectively combat growing authoritarianism and resist the dilution of democratic rights.
