The Real Deep State Revealed
TLDR; for years, folks across America have decried the “Deep State” within the U.S. government. But the real Deep State played them all.
Look around at the United States right now, and you’ll find a slide into “illiberalism” that mirrors Viktor Orbán’s takeover of Hungary in the 2010s. But, let’s call it what it really is: fascism.
Fascism has two main tenets:
- A hatred of socialism and Marxism
- A hatred of Liberalism for allowing socialism or Marxism to exist
Where else have we seen such positions? Within the elite circles of American Liberal democracy throughout the last century. Simply put, any time there is an overwhelming opposition to ordinary folk gaining power beyond the control of aristocratic or monied interests, you’re likely to find fascist seeds taking root.
Following World War Two, Sir Herbert Read, the noted British scholar and anarchist pointed out that fascism in the United Kingdom had never been unmasked — that rather than revolution from the effects of war, the fascist elements of British society consolidated their power and remained hidden within the power structures of that society.
