Lmfao, sorry (not sorry), I should have included feudalists too I guess, to avoid bootlicking pedants.. πŸ™„

The point stands - war is waged for profit by profiteers, not by random civilians trying to live their lives, always was, always will be.

One exception to it : fascists managed to convince people who can only lose stuff to a war that it's good for them too.

One exception to it : ~~fascists~~ capitalists managed to convince people who can only lose stuff to a war that it’s good for them too.

Fascism is capitalism in decay, there is no exception.

I'd say facsism is just capitalism when you try to say no.

As in literally, people tried to say no via socialism and then fascism was invented.
