There were many "good Germans" and other Europeans who either outright or by default supported Nazi Germany. In America & most other countries many people will continue to support the crimes of the Corporatocracy - especially if they perceive they have a stake (mistakenly or otherwise). Americans have been sold down the river by those who believe they are ruling the world. The WEF, Bilderberg, etc prefer China as their model going forward. Proven money maker and more efficient means of controlling populations. Joe Biden & fellow impotent leaders have been installed which says everything necessary about the current state of America and Americans.
Except where are the Maquis? Where is Anti-Fa? Where is the Underground? post-Marxist culture—one that kept Marx’s radical materialism and denial of religious transcendence, while dispensing with his confident predictions about the self-destruction of capitalism—would naturally tend to be radically bourgeois. By that, Del Noce meant a society that views “everything as an object of trade” and “as an instrument” to be used in the pursuit of individualized “well-being.” Such bourgeois society would be highly individualistic, because it could not recognize any cultural or religious “common good.” In the Communist Manifesto, Marx and Engels described the power of the bourgeois worldview to dissolve all cultural and religious allegiances into a universal market. Now, ironically, Marxist ideas (which Del Noce viewed as a much larger and more influential phenomenon than political Marxism in a strict sense) had helped bring that process to completion. At a conference in Rome in 1968, Del Noce looked back at recent history and concluded that the post-Marxist culture would be “a society that accepts all of Marxism’s negations against contemplative thought, religion, and metaphysics; that accepts, therefore, the Marxist reduction of ideas to instruments of production. But which, on the other hand, rejects the revolutionary-messianic aspects of Marxism, and thus all the religious elements that remain within the revolutionary idea. In this regard, it truly represents the bourgeois spirit in its pure state, the bourgeois spirit triumphant over its two traditional adversaries, transcendent religion and revolutionary thought.”
In our world of fractured, broken cities and the internet as our community forums the "underground" exists online. It is easily ignored as a force as the corporate online forums keep everything neatly in their respective boxes. Our reality today is very different even though there are things in common with Weimar and rise of Nazi Germany. The variety of fascism we face is unique, as far as I'm aware, in the history of mankind.
Unique to our sentimental history. Americans do not see the weaponization of human life during the Cold War. Covid is the fruit of this blissful state.
