Every one of BlackRock's department leaders, including Fink is a WEF Young Global Leader
ESG is the metric behind the WEF's Stakeholder Capitalism. It IS fascism.
Stop using leftist framing. All that does is amplify their power. It is not fascism nor national socialism nor even communism. Those are dead ideologies.
They are fascist, and making sure everyone knows that fascism was born from socialism, and is inherently leftwing is what destroys leftist framing. Not calling their vaguely defined variant of authoritarian socialism by some new term. Never let them call fascism right wing and you will win bigger.
And fascism does exist today. After the starvation period communist nations become fascist ones. Communist China is a fascist nation.
The merger of state and corporate power under ideology and party is fascism. The state helps the corporate sector by destroying their competition and making them above the law, the corporate power helps the state by controlling the media apparatus and providing massive kickbacks to politicians (party leaders.)
Is it a different iteration of fascism? Yes. It has a more global scale than just conquering Europe. Has it changed in tactics and ideology? Yes. The found that people indoctrinated in marxist thought make the best disposable blackshirts. They applied marxist and fascist thought to create things like critical race theory.
The foundation of the postwar global regime has been antifascism. You aren't going to win by calling them fascists and declaring yourself the real antifa. It is simply one of their many words for enemy. Fascism, as in the authentic mid-century Italian variety, can easily be critiqued from a reactionary view, such as its egalitarianism, antiracism and materialism, but that's not the point.
Stop using progressive framing. Fascism is a functionally meaningless word in its common usage that should be stepped over. If calling progressives fascists was an effective tactic, they would have been dislodged from power at some point in the last 90 years that it has been tried.

Spez: The best candidate for the current inheritor of Fascism is Israel. The Revisionist Zionism of Likud has a lot of overlap with Italian Fascism, although with a much greater racial awareness. There is a reason so many jews that would go on to found Israel were hanging out with Mussolini, at least until Hitler pressured him to throw them out.
We need to call the current system of corporate/USG collusion what it is--Fascism. I agree getting caught up in definitional arguments is a waste of time, but it is necessary to call things by their proper names and Megascandal is correct, "The merger of state and corporate power under ideology and party is fascism." The ideology is neo-Marxism and for the time being the Fascist party in the US is the Democratic Party. Confusing the matter further is the fact that for at least 60 years here in the US "Fascist" has been the go-to epithet used by the left against the right, so much so that most people believe Fascism is a "right-wing" ideology.
Orwell's point is that "Fascism" had been a term used so promiscuously it came to refer to any political ideology one dislikes. This is still true and unfortunately this confusion makes people more comfortable with our current form of Fascism. The Citizens United SC decision cleared the field for American Fascism, and when you look at the relationship between corporate lobbyists and our "representatives" it's apparent that our republican democracy is bought and sold by corporations. In fact, Eisenhower's "military-industrial complex" is a synonym for "Fascism."
We aren't calling ourselves cringe like antifascist, we are calling fascism left wing. Which it is because it was born from socialism.
Leftist dogma is defining fascism as right wing, as their opposite, when it couldn't be further from the truth. Calling Fascism LEFT WING is destroying the argument of the enemy because their entire justification is that "right wing is fascism and we must defeat right wing to defeat fascism." Their ideology is completely obsessed in calling fascism right wing to the point that it is an ideological lynch pin for them. When fascism is literally what they are doing from rigging elections, to having banks stop serving people they disagree with.
