From Soft to Hard Fascism

Globalists have effectively organized a coup in Poland. What follows? Mass immigration and the digital euro. One of the last bastions of populist nationalism is being readied to fall. Without Brexit, this would have happened to the Britain. The globalist plan is to destroy national sovereignty and incorporate the western proletariat into a neo-feudalist system governed by transnational corporate power.

Last month, Germany’s domestic intelligence agency (Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz) classified the Saxony state branch of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party as a “threat to democracy” (sound familiar?). This is a major first step towards banning AfD on the grounds that it is unconstitutional. Why would Germany need to do that? Because the AfD is very popular. Like the Sweden Democrats, the AfD is populist and nationalist.

A suggested redesign of the EU flag

Germany is the center of the European project to unwind nation-states through regionalism and thus one of the central powers in the transnational project. What we are seeing in Poland, i.e, that suppression of populist-nationalism, is happening also in Germany. The fascists lost the big battle of WWII only to conquer Europe.

I’ve been telling readers of Freedom and Reason for years that the resistance to globalization has been growing. The migrant crisis woke up a lot of people in Europe (will it wake up America?). Populism has now reached the point where the globalists feel threatened enough to move to openly suppress democracy. This is where the soft fascism of corporatism in its social democratic formation shifts to the hard fascism of authoritarian rule.

The New Fascism has significant differences from the old fascism (which I have discussed at length on Freedom and Reason). These differences, which do not change the essence of the thing, have confused people about the true character of progressive and social democratic politics, which are corporatist with totalitarian ambitions.

As I have explained, progressivism is the antithesis of populism. Progressivism is managerial and globalist. Populism is democratic-republican in character and nationalist. Progressivism is totalitarian and technocratic in ambition. Populism is rooted in individualism and liberalism (which includes modern conservatism), i.e., self-government and national sovereignty.

For years, you have been told by the progressives who have colonized the administrative apparatus that populism and nationalism are very bad things. This was to prepare you for incorporation into the transnationalist system. If you believe populism and nationalism are bad things, or at least avoid openly supporting these ideas because you fear shunning and even canceling, then you will fail to defend your country. This explains the passivity of Americans in face of the millions streaming across our southern border. As a result, the elite are reshaping America with very little popular resistance. People are terrified of being labeled a “nativist,” “racist,” “xenophobe.”

The same authoritarian desire that finds Germany preparing to ban a popular political party is the same spirit that moves the administrative state in America to surveil and intimidate populist-nationalists across the country, the removal of Trump from state ballots, and the waging of lawfare against Trump and his associates.
