You comparing additional deaths per year per capita or what?

Capitalism is a right-wing ideology. There is no center. The political spectrum is not a gradient. It’s either left or right. You either believe people should be above others or you believe in true equality. If you want a better future, elect people who understand this properly and fight for workers rights.

I would argue that fascism is the capitalism’s second final form.

Final form is feudalism, as always

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 week ago

I would say fascism is just Capitalism when it needs to put on a mask and do especially brutal acts to protect itself, then blame its sins on fascism, rather than Capitalism. It's like an alter-ego.

The final stage of Capitalism, rather than feudalism, is Imperialism. Feudalism had very specific relations and relied on workers largely producing their own goods like clothing, peasants were relatively self-sufficient and thus paid large rents to their feudal lords. Capitalism relegated the new proletariat to repetitive, small-scale tasks that, when combined with others and new industrial machinery, resulted in vast expansions in commodities produced.

Imperialism is when domestic markets are all "taken," and thus must spread internationally to super-exploit foreign populations. This is self-defeating, though, and provokes war.

It's also helpful to highlight the relationship between imperialism and fascism. Fascism can be described as turning the tactics and violence of imperialism (that are initially reserved for the periphery) inwards, on "undesirable" parts of the imperial core. Usually this follows on the heels of closing imperial horizons.
