1. La Tesis Central: Fascismo como Colonialismo Interior.
La noción de que el fascismo es esencialmente colonialismo "vuelto hacia adentro" es un tema recurrente, sugiriendo que las tácticas de opresión y explotación utilizadas históricamente en colonias se están aplicando ahora a las poblaciones dentro de los propios países.
- Fascism is colonialism turned inward.
- Fascism is colonialism turned inward. You do not stop fascism by allowing genocide "over there," you make it inevitable.
- Fascism is colonialism turned inward. The oligarchs don't want to give up capitalism.
2. Raíces Históricas y Paralelismos.
Se argumenta que el fascismo no es un fenómeno aislado, sino una consecuencia lógica de la historia del colonialismo y la supremacía blanca, con las mismas lógicas de dominación y deshumanización aplicadas a diferentes grupos.
- Colonialism paved the way for fascism. One acts on another nation’s people, the other acts on one’s own people.
- Fascism is an extension of the ideology behind colonialism, the nazis literally used the us and canada’s treatment of indigenous people as a goddamn blueprint for the holocaust.
- Colonialism and imperialism were genocidal regimes. The reservation system, slavery, mass deportations, lynching, all of this is the script that fascist groups follow when they have power because it has always worked as long as someone could be dehumanized and othered.
3. El Impacto en la Sociedad Actual.
La discusión se extiende a cómo esta "internalización" del colonialismo se manifiesta en políticas y prácticas contemporáneas, incluyendo la militarización de la policía, la supresión de la disidencia y la explotación económica.
- Fascism is colonialism turned inward. Our government and our corporations have been doing all the heinous shit to other countries around the world for over 100 years. It fucking sucks doesn't it?
- Fascism is what happens when colonialism comes home. Fascism is when white people are made to feel afraid we might be treated the same way black and brown people are every single day.
- Fascism is just liberal colonialism at home. I encourage you to learn some history. There's a reason the us is experiencing a round of shock doctrine right now.
4. Resistiendo el Fascismo y el Colonialismo.
Se enfatiza la necesidad de descolonizar las mentes y las estructuras sociales para combatir eficazmente el fascismo, argumentando que no se puede luchar contra el fascismo mientras se perpetúan prácticas coloniales.
- Therefore, if we're going to really defeat fascism, and not just quiet it for a few generations, we have to decolonize.
- If fascism is colonialism turned inward then you can't fight fascism by embracing colonialism. A year long colonial genocide is not compatible with opposing fascism.
- You cannot oppose fascism by supporting or turning a blind eye to genocide. That will not work. It cannot work. Fascism is colonialism turned inward. What you accept "over there" will come back to you "over here".
