Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca also apply here. See the sidebar on the homepage:
They should also construct a Victims of Fascism and Victims of Capitalism right next to it.
Well, wouldn't those technically be the same monument?
There's an argument that it's not capitalism if the state does it, and proper ideological fascism ultimately aims to absorb the role of capital into itself.
"Everything within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state" is quite literally the goal, per Mussolini.
Of course, when you combine this with their obsession with heirarchy it becomes very apparent they're just making the owners of capital have ruling class roles, like a particularly shitty absolute monarchy.
This, btw, is why whenever some doofus starts talking about the "third way," as an alternative to capitalism/liberalism and socialism/communism you can fairly safely just assume he's dogwhistling for fascism.
