We Need A New Word Over Fascism

Simply being a private organization isn’t really enough to qualify it as being such: at that point you have standard corruption issues within our national framework.

The web has enabled a specific kind of almost fascism but not quite, by route of having private organization claim to support left-wing values, but enjoy all the benefits of not being regulated by the government: in this case such private organization can act on behalf of foreign governments.

Certain countries are often thought of as being Communist, but it doesn’t matter if that country is capitalist, communist, or fascist ( capitalist isn’t the same as fascist. )

A website that acts on behalf of a foreign government enjoying benefits of a private enterprise, goes a little bit beyond Fascism in the traditional sense of the word.

And I feel like belittling Russia gate by turning it into a partisan issue, has made it harder to actually address actual foreign interference.

We need to be against US influencing other countries, but we also need to not rule out foreign interference just because a country claims to be “communist”.

Foreign influence, in reality, can come from any kind of systemic structure.

I’m not sure why this oversight issue exists on the left, that enables private companies to enjoy the benefits of being private why claiming to support left-wing values. But such a company is never really left-wing in its organization.
