    I’m pretty sure that’s the difference between anti establishing and anti government. the “establishment” is the established power structure. technically fascists ARE anti establishment in most places. and that’s a very good thing.

      Fascists only pretend to be anti establishment their whole thing is preserving capitalism when it enters crisis.

        hmm, that feels a bit like splitting hairs. at that point we have to argue whether the establishment is capitalism, or the government. and that just seems like a pedantic argument about semantics that will accomplish nothing. point being, most fascists want to overthrow their current government.

          The government is part of the structure of capitalism though. It is an expression of the power of capital.
