Corporations and countries are legally a kind of person, with some of the rights and obligations of people. But are vastly more powerful. They pretend to be real people with slogans like "we care about you". This is all a dangerous pretence, exploiting human emotions, our kindness and empathy and our capacity for loyalty. This is dangerous fraud. #corporations #politics #capitalism #nationalism

“When autocracy takes hold in a country, everything goes on as before—police go on policing, landlords go on collecting rent, people go on showing up to work. The transition takes place so smoothly because all the elements necessary to fascism were present under democracy.” todon.eu/@CrimethInc/115714319…
When autocracy takes hold in a country, everything goes on as before—police go on policing, landlords go on collecting rent, people go on showing up to work. The transition takes place so smoothly because all the elements necessary to fascism were present under democracy.
People imagine fascism as the opposite of democratic governance. In fact, it employs the same police, courts, property rights, patriotic mythology, and habits of obedience as state democracy. Wherever there is a powerful state with a monopoly on violence, fascism is only an election away.
This is why resistance to authoritarianism must take place at all times, not simply when an army is invading under swastika flags. We must never conflate the smooth functioning of the state with freedom itself. Assuming that the "rule of law" is identical with self-determination gives aspiring despots a free hand.

![This image is a black and white photograph depicting an official event, likely a state visit or ceremony. It shows several individuals dressed in formal attire, including military uniforms adorned with medals and decorations, suggesting high-ranking officials or dignitaries. The central figures appear to be two women wearing tiaras and elaborate dresses, indicative of royalty; one is Queen Elizabeth II based on her iconic dress sash and crown.
Surrounding them are numerous photographers capturing the moment using various types of cameras from that era, including film-based ones with large lenses and flashbulbs. The presence of multiple camera flashes illuminates a scene otherwise dimly lit by what seems to be natural or ambient light sources. Other attendees include men in suits, some wearing glasses, engaged in conversations or observing their surroundings.
The composition suggests the importance of the occasion as photographers focus on capturing images that likely will appear in newspapers and historical records.
