Free market economy

Open up your markets so foreign capitalists can buy everything until they control your country and plunder your resources. That is why capitalists insist foreign countries do that. It also explains why the west is so hostile to countries that do not. Try joining NATO without a free market economy. They will not accept you.

HAVE Y'ALL THOUGHT OF THIS., The Mexicans have amassed Billions with Biden's Border Crisis, they are extremely wealthy. They could waltz in here and buy untold properties, which might not 'fit culturally' if you get my drift.

You do realise that the biggest foreign investors are totalitarian states like China and Saudi Arabia, Russia has poured billions into the UK economy over the years, they love a London Town house too.
How would you describe Chinas ‘Belt and Road’ initiative if not Neo liberal colonialism.
You just never really think stuff through do you?

Are they fascists too?
Anybody can be a control freak. Left and right doesn't matter. Anybody who supports censorship is a control freak. Democrats are the latest party to become control freaks. They want to censor the truth and let the lies they like to be told with impunity.

What are you babbling about, the point is that we live in a globalised economy whether we like it or not that’s why talking about Neo Cons and Neo Libs is for children who like a catchy phrase to pigeon hole their enemies.

“ Are they fascists too?”
Well in the case of the Saudis I would say they are an old school absolutist / rule by Devine right dynastic monarchy.
In the case of the CCP and it’s lifetime emperor Xi perhaps you should ask the Wuigas

You didn't answer my question. Is the Saudi Kingdom fascist? It is a totalitarian regime that is also capitalist. Are all capitalist countries that are totalitarian regimes fascists or not? Yes or no?

Found this interesting:

"Fascism was a twentieth-century phenomenon, but its ideological roots were firmly planted in the nineteenth century. Mostly obviously, fascism was an extreme form of nationalism. The nation was not just the home of a “people” in fascism, it was everything. The nation became a mythic entity that had existed since the ancient past, and fascists claimed that the cultural traits and patterns of the nation defined who a person was and how they regarded the world. "

"What fascism and communism had in common was a rejection of bourgeois parliamentary democracy. They both sought transcendent political and social orders that went beyond “mere” parliamentary compromise. The major difference between them was that fascists discovered in World War I that most people were not willing to die for their social class, but they were willing to die for their nation. Fascism was, in part, a kind of collective movement that substituted nationalism for the class war. All classes would be united in the nation, fascists believed, for the greater glory of the race and movement."

Saudi Arabia's system of government isn't modern enough to be called "fascist".

Just tell us your drift.

Don't be silly. I think you are making that up.
Since when was fascism dependent on modernization? Saudi Arabia is more modern now than fascism about a century ago. I call you on your BS.

Why does every democrat make up BS nonsense to support false narratives?
Is it really so hard for democrats to accept socialists cannot be fascists?
Fascists are capitalists. There is no such thing as a fascist country without a free market economy.
