This is utterly wrong. Fascism is not a meme. Fascism isn’t spreading throughout the Western world like a mind virus.
Fascism is the predictable result of the last 40 years of grinding neoliberalism. It is capitalism in decay.
Fascism is not a grassroots movement. It’s a false revolution, funded by the capitalist class, which leaves the capitalist class in power.
People aren’t born racists, supremisits, and bigots. Those ideas are taught.
