Fascists: I want everyone in the same country, rich and poor alike, to accept their place in the hierarchy and do their part to protect our Glorious Nation™ from foreigners. Seriously you guys, I can't stress enough how much I hate communism and want literally the exact opposite of what they want. Surely nobody will ever lump us-

Hannah Arendt was a big part of conflating these as "totalitarianism"
as if capitalism isn't totalizing. as if any mode of production wouldn't shape social relations
while it is easy to place all the blame on Hannah Arendt's 1950s political work, I do believe :porky-happy: would have come up with this little rhetorical trick with or without her writing The Origins of Totalitarianism
sure, I mean she was just the willing tool of the bourgeoisie at the right moment.
going to tell my boss that as capitalism isn't totalitarian I will be goofing off at work wish me luck
