      The victims of capitalism monument is already right next to it… housing costs compared to wages in Vancouver is insane.

        There’s an argument that it’s not capitalism if the state does it, and proper ideological fascism ultimately aims to absorb the role of capital into itself.

        “Everything within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state” is quite literally the goal, per Mussolini.

        Of course, when you combine this with their obsession with heirarchy it becomes very apparent they’re just making the owners of capital have ruling class roles, like a particularly shitty absolute monarchy.

        This, btw, is why whenever some doofus starts talking about the “third way,” as an alternative to capitalism/liberalism and socialism/communism you can fairly safely just assume he’s dogwhistling for fascism.
