Dearest Young Comrades,

When Walter Benjamin examines fascism's capacity to organize the masses without touching relations of property, he arrives at a lethal observation: "Fascism is the aestheticization of politics." Fascism manufactures militarist grandeur, glittering uniforms, grand parades, a dour halo of "sacredness" (aura), and presents its own barbarism wrapped in an aesthetic package.

James Vanderbilt's film Nuremberg places before us, with philosophical depth, that historical breaking point at which this aesthetic packaging is torn apart — the moment when fascism's mesmerizing shop window melts away in the rational mirror of bourgeois law. The film lifts one of humanity's greatest reckonings out of simple courtroom procedure and transforms it into the dialectical struggle between the ruling ideology's false myths and material reality.

The Desire for a Martyrdom Pulpit and the Illusion of Tragic Heroism

The philosophical center of gravity of the film is formed from the arrogant and manipulative strategy Hermann Göring (Russell Crowe) displays from the moment he takes his seat in the courtroom. Göring and the Nazi generals who share the defendants' bench with him understood Nuremberg not as a place of punishment for themselves, but as the final great stage on which they would mount the ideological defense of the Third Reich and bequeath the fascist narrative to the future.

The Unmasking: Rather than being hastily lined up before a firing squad or the gallows, Göring wants to code this court as an illegitimate theater in which victors crush the vanquished. His aim is clear: to turn the defendants' bench into a "martyrdom pulpit," and himself and the other fascist killers into "tragic and honorable heroes" frozen in the memory of the German people. Fascism, even in defeat, pursues romantic victimhood and the harvesting of a new mythology.

The Breaking of the Myth: Chief Prosecutor Jackson's Rational Legal Barricade

The film's truly revolutionary vein is the cold, rational, bulletproof legal barricade Chief Prosecutor Robert H. Jackson (Michael Shannon) erects against this insidious fascist aesthetic. Jackson is not an executioner moved by the desire for revenge; he is a historical reason that seeks to drain the ideological swamp in which fascism will reproduce in the future.

• The Material Power of the Document: Jackson does not confront the Nazi generals' lie — "We were only soldiers, we followed orders, we fought with honor at the front" — with the vagueness of witness testimony, but with the bureaucratic documents of massacre the Nazis themselves kept, the concentration camp archives, and official orders thrust directly in their faces.

• The Stripping of the Aura: This relentless assault of material reality tears Göring's and the other generals' glittering, medal-bedecked fascist aura away in seconds. The rational barricade Jackson erects shatters the illusion of epic and charismatic evil, leaving before us the sort of ordinary, selfish, cowardly "bureaucratic killer" prototypes Hannah Arendt spoke of — scrambling to save their own skins. Fascist mythology is crushed under the weight of its own archives.

Opening Manifesto: Capital's Unending Womb

Young comrades, the most vital truth this film shows us is that fascism is not a nostalgic "monstrosity" buried in the annals of history along with a few generals hanged at Nuremberg in 1945 or a dictator who took his own life.

Fascism is not a historical accident or pathological deviation that befell humanity. It is the most rational, most current, and most class-based option to which the capitalist mode of production, monopoly finance capital, resorts in moments of structural crisis.

Whenever the bourgeoisie sees that it cannot lull the masses to sleep with tales of prosperity, cannot manufacture consent, and the organized anger of the working class threatens its relations of property, it grasps the emergency brake it has kept in the bullpen — fascism. Fascism is an organic superstructural apparatus born from the womb of capitalism and nourished by its crises.

That fascist reflex unmasked at Nuremberg continues to find life today in Silicon Valley's digital panopticons, in the militarist war rooms of NATO summits, and in the hypocritical barricades of social democracy. This article is written not to recount the ghosts of the past, but to expose today's global fascist alliance and its collaborators in all their nakedness, to sharpen our consciousness and dig that unshakable class barricade. It must not be forgotten: the antidote to fascism is not the paper tigers of liberal courts, but militant class struggle organized in the street, the factory, and on campus!

Silicon Valley's Techno-Fascism: Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and "Libertarian" Oligarchy

The classical forms of fascism in the twentieth century aimed to bring the street under control through paramilitary gangs, street terror, and the naked coercive apparatuses of the state. But in today's world of monopoly finance capital, fascism is organized not only through physical barracks, but through algorithms coded in the sterile glass towers of Silicon Valley. These new-generation techno-oligarchs who market themselves as "libertarian," "freedom-loving," or "entrepreneurial" are in fact building fascism's digital infrastructure to preserve capitalist relations of property in the decaying age of bourgeois democracy. In this section, we will dismantle the anatomy of that dark, technocratic fascism behind Silicon Valley's glittering screens.

The Algorithmic Panopticon: From Radio Waves to Lines of Code

Classical fascism of the 1930s used radio — the most advanced mass communication tool of its era — and vast square orations to stupefy and standardize the masses. Goebbels' Volksempfänger (People's Radio) project was the technological instrument for bringing the state's official lie into every home. In the 2026 we inhabit, the mass manufacture of fascism has turned into X (Twitter) algorithms, artificial intelligence, and micro-targeted digital manipulation.

• The Invisible Warden: In the Panopticon prison designed by Jeremy Bentham and conceptualized by Michel Foucault, prisoners never know when the warden at the center is watching them, and therefore practice self-censorship by behaving as though they are constantly under surveillance. Today X and other major platforms function as Algorithmic Panopticons.

• Consciousness Engineering: The algorithm analyzes an individual's fears, anger, and sense of insecurity with the aid of artificial intelligence. In place of square orations come "personalized doses of rage" dropped onto each user's screen, stoking xenophobia and racism.

• Manufactured Artificial Outrage: The system channels the organic anger the working class ought to direct at capitalist exploitation toward fake enemies the algorithm elevates — "anti-immigrant" or "culture war" themes. This digital panopticon, which takes the place of the physical squares of the 1930s, atomizes the masses into isolation while simultaneously making them part of a fascistic lynch mob.

Peter Thiel and the "Dark Enlightenment": The Confession of Democracy's Liquidation

To understand the ideological backbone of Silicon Valley, we must place under the microscope the figure of Peter Thiel, PayPal's founder and partner in Palantir (the monopoly that sells mass-surveillance software to states). Thiel is the financier of the far-right Neoreactionary (NRx / Dark Enlightenment) current, which philosophically tears away liberalism's libertarian makeup with its own hands.

In the political manifesto he penned in 2009, Thiel confessed the centuries-old lie of bourgeois ideology in this naked sentence:

"I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible."

• Capital's Fear of Democracy: This confession is monopoly finance capital's most plain "simple truth." Thiel and the oligarchy he represents know very well that as capitalist exploitation deepens, the most minimal institutions of bourgeois democracy (elections, parliaments, mechanisms of popular approval) become obstacles to capital's absolute domination. Techno-capitalism needs a management model stripped of democratic friction — an absolute monarchical or fascistic one — to grow and preserve its profit rates.

• Financing the AfD: That is precisely why Peter Thiel's investment funds and finance-capital networks function as the logistical and ideological base behind rising neo-fascist movements in Europe such as Germany's AfD (Alternative for Germany). The institutional mind behind the AfD cadres proclaiming their claim to power at the Erfurt Congress in Thuringia is directly, umbilically tied to the vision of these Silicon Valley "dark enlightenment" techno-barons.

Elon Musk and the Absolutist "Free Speech" Fraud

If Peter Thiel is the theoretical and financial architect of this techno-fascism, Elon Musk is the global propaganda minister of this mechanism. Musk's rhetoric since purchasing the X platform — "I am a free speech absolutist" — is the most glittering packaging of bourgeois hypocrisy in 2026.

Let us deconstruct this fraud through the system's two-way practical operations:

Blue-Check Privilege (Fascist Assault)	Algorithmic Censorship (Class Embargo)
Application: Racist, antisemitic, anti-immigrant, and neo-Nazi speech from anyone who pays (blue-check holders) is pushed to the top by the algorithm.	Application: Keywords containing "strike," "union," "workers' rights," or anti-fascist organizing are rendered invisible through shadowban (shadow censorship).
Outcome: An unlimited, protected "freedom" space is manufactured for fascist trolls and racist provocateurs.	Outcome: The collective voice the working class and precarious youth raise against exploitation is digitally suffocated.

• The Modern Goebbels: Musk, hiding behind the lie of a "free marketplace of ideas," behaves like a digital feudal lord who normalizes fascist ideology among the masses. His libertarianism consists of capital's freedom to exploit the worker and the fascist's freedom to spread hatred.

Musk, who crushes the working class's organizing efforts in his factories (Tesla) through ruthless, illegal methods, also throttles the proletariat's voice in the digital sphere and clears the path for fascist gangs. Young comrades: not falling for the "freedom" tales these Silicon Valley oligarchs offer, deciphering the class barbarism hidden in the lines of code of techno-fascism, is the most vital front of modern class struggle. While capital wants to black out the screens, our task is to direct the naked light of truth onto those lines of code!

Imperialism's Global Whip: The Ankara NATO Summit and the Sanctification of Militarism

As vital as the digital "software" produced by Silicon Valley's techno-oligarchs is for persuading the masses into dissent and docility, so indispensable is the "hardware" produced by NATO, imperialism's global whip, for preserving the continuity of capitalist exploitation by force of arms. Fascism is not merely an algorithm coded in digital panopticons; ultimately it is concretized at the muzzle of the gun, along borderlands, and in the sound of boots brought down on the working class's head.

While bourgeois media and liberal academics package NATO as "a peace alliance that protects democracies," the most naked, most simple truth standing before us is that this apparatus is the global plunder and coercion organization of monopoly finance capital. In this section, let us begin from NATO's bloody genealogy and lay bare the class truth of the NATO Summit held in Ankara in 2026, and the structural need of the arms monopolies for fascism.

NATO's Fascist Genealogy: Counter-Guerrilla as an Internal Repression Apparatus

NATO is a counter-revolutionary organization established by the imperialist Western bloc after the Second World War to crush the rising wave of socialism and the organized power of the working class. While a few high-ranking Nazi generals were hanged for show at the Nuremberg Trials, NATO took into its bosom and nursed the intelligence and military cadres of the Third Reich (registered Nazi officers such as Reinhard Gehlen).

• Gladio and Secret Armies: The essence of NATO is not merely to protect member countries against external threats, but to drown in blood any possible workers' revolution or socialist awakening within member countries. The unofficial paramilitary structures organized in Italy as Gladio, in Turkey as Counter-Guerrilla or the Mobilization Examination Board, were born directly from NATO's logistical and ideological grace.

• Mercenaries of Class War: These counter-guerrilla networks used fascist gangs and religious reaction as mercenaries in the countryside and cities. The May 1, 1977 Massacre in Turkey, the Maraş and Çorum massacres, and the September 12 fascist coup; the Bologna Station massacre in Italy — these are bloody proofs of how NATO used fascism as an "internal repression apparatus" to discipline the working class in its own home and preserve capitalist relations of property. NATO's institutional character is that of a genetically engineered fascism factory.

The Class Truth of the Ankara NATO Summit: The Sanctification of Militarism

Global capitalism's stagflation crisis and market contraction are forcing imperialist powers to redivide the world. The 2026 Ankara NATO Summit was convened precisely in the midst of this imperialist partition crisis to make militarism a structural religion.

The proxy war stoked in Ukraine with no end in sight, the bombs rained on the peoples of the Middle East, and the encirclement strategy constructed against China through the Taiwan Strait are the empirical outcomes of global finance capital's crisis spiral.

Budget Robbery and Social Destruction: The demand placed before member states at the Ankara Summit — to raise defense budgets above 2.5% of gross domestic product — is an open class robbery decision. Billions of dollars in surplus value that ought to be spent on health, education, and the housing rights of precarious youth are injected directly into the war machine by bourgeois states. Imperialism impoverishes the masses to fund its own death machines. The only way to prevent the masses from rebelling against poverty is to pump nationalist chauvinism and fascistic hysteria into the capillaries of society.

The Fascism Requirement of the War Barons: Arms Monopolies and Right-Wing Alliances

So who does this wave of militarization rescue? The answer is clear: the vast monopolies of the global military-industrial complex. Arms barons such as Lockheed Martin, Rheinmetall, BAE Systems, and Raytheon are merchants of death whose profit rates are falling in capitalism's general crisis spiral and whose existence is bound solely and exclusively to war, blood, and tension.

To secure the profit rates of the war barons, borders must be militarized, anti-refugee hatred must be stoked, and societies must be turned into fascistic barracks in the name of "security." At precisely this point, NATO does not hesitate in the slightest to shake hands with fascist and far-right governments and open a space of legitimacy for them.

Global Actor	Class / Political Role	Militarism and Fascism Connection
Arms Monopolies (Rheinmetall / Lockheed)	Drive to Preserve Profit Rates	Manufacturing artificial enemies and walling off borders to increase war orders.
Fascist Governments (Meloni / Right-Wing Elements in Ukraine)	Ideological Mercenary Work and Mass Persuasion	Stupefying the working class with nationalist chauvinism, passing militarist budgets through parliament to applause.
NATO (Institutional Mind of the Ankara Summit)	Global Coordination and Protection	Legitimizing fascist actors under the banner of the "democracy front," fueling imperialist war.

• The Official Hypocrisy: The Giorgia Meloni government in Italy, rooted in neo-fascism, or the regime that places neo-Nazi elements such as the Azov Battalion at the heart of the military machine in the Ukrainian theater, are hosted in the corridors of the Ankara NATO Summit as "defenders of the free world." NATO's lie of a "democracy alliance" sold to liberals has knelt before the profit balance sheets of the arms monopolies.

Young comrades: behind the militarist discourse polished at the Ankara NATO Summit lies the direct sacrifice of your future, your labor, and your blood to global monopoly bourgeoisie. Fascism is imperialism's global whip, used to protect colonial markets abroad and suppress class contradictions at home. The way to break this whip is to grow organized class war without compromise on an anti-imperialist and anti-fascist front against NATO's military bases, militarist budgets, and fascist collaborators!

The Institutionalization of Betrayal: European Social Democracy's False Barricade

After deciphering Silicon Valley's digital panopticons and NATO's militarist war machines, we must confront the most insidious, most hypocritical illusion standing before us: European social democracy and the center-left, which market themselves as the "savior," the "progressive force," or the "sole barricade" against fascism. The bourgeois political stage constantly tells us this lie: "If you do not want far-right/fascist centers such as the AfD, Meloni, or Le Pen to come to power, you must align yourselves, however reluctantly, behind social democrats and center-left alliances." Yet the plain "simple truths" of historical materialism tell us the exact opposite. Social democracy is not a barricade against fascism; it is an institutionalized network of betrayal that clears the debris before fascism's path by disarming the working class and structurally paving the way for it. In this section, we will lay bare on the table the structural wretchedness of European social democracy in the 2026 world and its shameful partnership in crime with fascism.

Paving the Way for Fascism: Neoliberalism and the Precarity Crisis

Fascism does not descend from the sky by parachute; it grows in the economic swamps where the working class and broad popular masses are left helpless and driven to despair under capitalist exploitation. In Europe, those who feed this swamp with their own hands are precisely social democratic and center-left parties (the SPD in Germany, the Labour Party in Britain, etc.).

• The Left Hand of Capital: Whenever these parties come to power, they promise the working class "social justice"; yet the moment they take their seats, they become the most loyal order-takers of monopoly finance capital.

• The Barbarism of Austerity: The anti-worker austerity policies, budget cuts, and flexible work models implemented by Scholz's SPD in Germany or Keir Starmer's Labour Party in Britain have driven the proletariat, youth, and retirees into a terrifying spiral of precarity.

• Fueling Fascism: While social democrats liquidate the social state through neoliberal structural adjustment programs and impoverish the masses, they smother rather than organize the righteous and revolutionary anger the masses accumulate against the system parties. When the masses are impoverished through these left-labeled parties, they lose faith in bourgeois democracy and become prey to the demagogic, populist promises of the far right/the AfD. Through the austerity policies it implements, social democracy manufactures fascism's greatest human resource with its own hands.

Discursive Partnership and Disgusting Hypocrisy: Shifting Right on Anti-Refugee Politics

The tragedy and hypocrisy of European social democracy reaches its peak in implementing the very discourse and policies of fascists under the claim of preventing fascism's popularity. The European political stage in 2026 is full of the most naked examples of this disgusting mimicry.

The Collapse of the False Barricade: The SPD government in Germany, taking refuge in the excuse of "blocking" the AfD's rise in Thuringen and Erfurt, has itself seized the far right's agenda by tightening border controls and passing mass deportation laws (cruelly designed Remigration-style repatriation packages) through parliament. Keir Starmer's Britain is building a militarist border bureaucracy in refugee-hunting that rivals the conservatives.

• The Legitimization of Fascism: When social democrats make anti-refugee politics state policy out of a wretched rationality of winning votes from right-wing electorates or snatching fascists' arguments from their hands, they in fact gift fascism its greatest ideological victory. They carve this subtext into the consciousness of the masses: "Look, the culprit of the economic crisis in the country, the queues in hospitals, the inadequacies in schools is not capitalism; it is the migrants even social democrats are deporting!" Fascism's "scapegoat" mechanism is made the state's official ideology by the hand of social democracy.

Historical Déjà Vu: From the Killers of Rosa and Karl to 2026's False Saviors

This tableau of betrayal before us surprises no Marxist-Leninist who knows the dialectical flow of history. As today's young comrades, you must never forget the bloody historical genealogy of this false barricade behind which you are asked to align yourselves.

• The Bloody Legacy of 1919: After the First World War, as the working class in Germany marched toward revolution, it was again the German Social Democratic Party (SPD) that stepped onto the stage to save the bourgeois state and capitalist relations of property. SPD leaders Noske and Ebert funded and unleashed proto-fascist paramilitary gangs — the Freikorps (the institutional ancestor of Nazism) — to crush workers' councils and savagely murder the communist leaders of the German proletariat, Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht.

• Historical Continuity: Social democracy, which in 1919 murdered communists and thus prepared the rotten ground of the Weimar Republic, opening the way for Hitler's fascism, today in 2026 washes the paths of neo-fascism with rosewater by approving imperialist war budgets (NATO decisions), crushing the working class with neoliberalism, and hunting refugees.

Young comrades: the "progressive" shop window European social democracy erects is an institutional lie painted with the blood of the working class. Their anti-fascism is an aesthetic concern that lasts only until fascism takes the seat of power and disturbs their own bourgeois parliamentary comfort; in the infrastructure, both cliques serve the interests of the same monopoly bourgeoisie. Hiding behind social democracy against fascism is begging mercy from one's executioner. Our barricade is not that of those who shed fake tears in parliaments; it is the uncompromising, revolutionary, and organized class barricade of Rosas and Karls!

The Perfect Mechanism: The Organic Bond Between Bourgeois Democracy and Fascism

In the sections of our text up to this point, we have dismantled one by one the digital codes of techno-fascism, NATO's militarist barrels, and social democracy's hypocritical compromise. Now we must expose the main mechanism on which all these apparatuses rest and which binds them to a common purpose: the organic, inseparable bond between bourgeois democracy and fascism.

Liberal academics, civil society actors, and the establishment media tell us from morning till night that fascism and bourgeois democracy are two diametrically opposed poles. For them, fascism is an attack on democracy "from outside," an "malfunction" that disrupts the system's rational operation, or a pathological deviation.

Yet the most naked, most unshakable simple truth historical materialism teaches us is this: Fascism is not the opposite of bourgeois democracy; it is the other face of the same medal. Both regimes are twin forms of rule serving the same economic base — capitalist relations of property and the class domination of monopoly bourgeoisie.

The Illusion of Liberalism: Fascism as an "Exception Regime"

In stable periods of the capitalist mode of production — that is, when profit rates are high and the masses can be distracted with tales of prosperity — the ruling class prefers to sustain its domination through parliamentary makeup, false promises of freedom, and ballot boxes — that is, by manufacturing consent. This is called "bourgeois democracy."

But when capitalism inevitably enters structural crises, overproduction depressions, and stagflation, the mechanisms of consent collapse. The moment the possibility of radicalization by the working class and precarious youth against exploitation appears, monopoly finance capital tears off its polite liberal mask and resorts to naked force by suspending the rule of law.

Fascism is an institutional "exception regime" (State of Exception) to which capitalism itself resorts in moments of crisis it cannot manage through normal channels, sprouting from within bourgeois law.

Let us clarify how this perfect mechanism works by comparing the two forms of rule that change according to capital's needs:

Form of Regime	Capital's Mode of Rule	Illusion Offered to the Masses
Bourgeois Democracy	Manufacturing Consent and Parliamentary Makeup	"Freedom, Equality, the Ballot Box"
Fascism / Exception Regime	Naked Violence and Open Dictatorship	"Sacred State, Race, Security"

This table shows us, comrades, that bourgeois democracy is not the antidote to fascism but its incubator. The institutions of bourgeois democracy carry fascistic microbes within them, and whenever capital needs them, it injects these microbes into the social body.

Capital's Bullpen: False Saviors Take the Stage

In the 2026 we inhabit, global finance capital is implementing a massive "bullpen" strategy to prevent the working class and youth robbed of any future perspective from awakening to a radical, anti-capitalist consciousness.

When the righteous and accumulating anger the masses feel toward capitalist exploitation cannot be absorbed by the system parties, capital breaks its own liberal shop window with its own hands and pushes onto the stage the fascistic, populist actors it has kept waiting in the bullpen.

• The System's False Rebels: Figures such as the AfD, accelerating through the Erfurt Congress in Germany; Meloni in Italy, who has become neoliberalism's most loyal executor; and Trump in the US, who converts the masses' anti-globalization anger into chauvinism — are flung before the masses by monopoly bourgeoisie as "anti-system saviors."

• The Class Displacement of Anger: The task of these actors is to displace the anger the working class ought to direct at capitalist relations of property, exploitation in factories, and the hegemony of banks — redirecting it toward migrants, minorities, refugees, or fake "culture wars."

• The Mission of Protecting Property: However much "anti-establishment" rhetoric the AfD or Meloni use, the first thing they do when they approach or take power is to secure the profit rates of big capital, the arms monopolies, and techno-oligarchs like Peter Thiel. They are capital's most loyal vassals, who do not touch capitalism's relations of property but shatter the organized bonds of the working class to protect those relations.

Young comrades: to believe in bourgeois democracy's illusions of "freedom" is to refuse to see fascism's development. Capital possesses the structural character to throw parliament and the ballot box into the trash overnight when necessary for its own survival. To fight fascism means to fight totality against its incubator, bourgeois democracy, and capitalist relations of property. Without breaking the mechanism as a whole, we cannot protect our sanity or our future by defending one of its gears (liberalism) against another (fascism)!

Organizing the Front — A Call for Historical Optimism to Young Comrades

Comrade, the vital question you asked — the main artery that completes the missing link in the transition from cinematic aesthetics to techno-politics and transforms this article from a theoretical text into a current war manual.

The sharpest, most striking concrete example that will carve into the consciousness of the masses how Silicon Valley oligarchs' digital fascist discourse forms a practical partnership of exploitation with the concrete military decisions of the July 2026 NATO Summit in Ankara is: "AI-Assisted Autonomous Targeting and Mass Surveillance Systems" tested in the Ukrainian and Middle Eastern theaters through the Palantir Technologies and Starlink partnership, and at the Ankara Summit made the institutional backbone of all NATO.

Palantir, owned by Peter Thiel (its name taken from the all-seeing dark orb in The Lord of the Rings), scans, analyzes, and codes millions of people's digital data, social media activity, union ties, and anger against the rulers in real time with the AI software it develops as "elements to be destroyed or suppressed." Elon Musk's Starlink satellites stream this data as an uninterrupted military logistics network to autonomous drones on the front and the repressive forces of the bourgeois state.

Here is the perfect murder network: while Musk's X platform produces fascism's "software" by clouding the consciousness of the masses with fascistic trolls and inflating xenophobia, Thiel's Palantir turns this data into military targets, and the 2.5% militarist budgets increased by stealing from the pockets of peoples at the Ankara NATO Summit finance the "hardware" (weapons, missiles, boots) of these techno-fascist machines.

Before us stands not an abstract idea, but a global, practical, and digital militarist partnership of exploitation that begins in the lines of code of Silicon Valley and is concretized at NATO's gun barrels!

Shedding Liberal Illusions: The End of Paper Tigers

Young comrades, in the face of this vast global fascist encirclement, casting entirely into the trash the false prescriptions of salvation liberalism places before us is the first condition of our cognitive freedom.

The antidote to fascism is not the liberal courts (Nuremberg) we watched in James Vanderbilt's film, performing the autopsy of a past crime that is over. Because even if those courts delivered justice, they did not touch the capitalist relations of property — the womb that produces fascism.

The antidote to fascism is neither the European technocrats sitting in Brussels' sterile corridors, nor the ballot boxes of social democrats racing racists in refugee-hunting.

Fascism cannot be defeated by remaining within the laws of the rulers, their licensed courts, or the boundaries of bourgeois dictatorship. History has shown us that when fascism reaches parliament's door, liberal bourgeoisie has always lined up to hand over the keys.

The Spirit of the United Front Against Fascism: Dimitrov's Legacy

At precisely this impasse, we find the historical and founding compass of the struggle against fascism in the unshakable theses of Comintern's unforgettable leader Georgi Dimitrov — in the spirit of the United Front Against Fascism.

While Dimitrov tells us that fascism is the open terrorist dictatorship of the most reactionary elements of finance capital, he warns that the struggle against it cannot be fragmented either.

• Unity from Below to Above: The united front is not seat-trading at the top with bourgeois liberals or pink social democrats. The united front is the militant and organized unity from below to above of all the oppressed, youth, working class, and revolutionary intellectuals whom fascism targets — in factories, shipyards, campuses, and streets, everywhere life and exploitation exist.

• The Class Barricade: While fascism seeks to atomize, divide, and set against one another the working class and youth, the spirit of the united front is an unshakable class barricade that turns the barrel of all the oppressed — without distinction between migrant and native, student and worker — toward a single common enemy: monopoly capital and its fascist mercenaries.

The Sole Solution Is Class War: Taking Up Positions

The sole way to defeat fascism is to grow organized anti-fascist and anti-imperialist class struggle that targets its incubators — capitalist relations of property.

• On Campuses: We must stand against academic-capital partnerships that serve as fronts for Silicon Valley's techno-fascist projects, and erect an anti-fascist barricade that will put science at the service of the people, not monopoly bourgeoisie.

• In Factories and Streets: In the bosom of a proletariat being poisoned with nationalist chauvinism, we must organize internationalist class solidarity and nullify capital's fascist divide-and-rule tactic.

The struggle is empirical and concrete: standing against fascist gangs in the street, sabotaging strike-breaking techno-systems in the factory, and giving no passage to racist provocations on campus.

Preserving Mental Health: Organizing in Pursuit of Truth

Dearest comrades: I know that many of you in the 2026 world are struggling with deep alienation, cynicism, and anxiety within this intense spiral of manipulation, disinformation, and manufactured outrage. Do not let the fascistic lynch culture pumped daily on X screens, the militarist war drums, and hopelessness paralyze your minds. In this age of organized madness, the sole way to preserve our mental health is to pursue material reality relentlessly and to transform that reality into collective action.

Cynicism Is a Bourgeois Trap: The system wants you to fall into hopelessness, to shut yourselves in your rooms and passively consume defeat by merely scrolling screens (doomscrolling). A person left alone is driven mad. The cure for mental health is in collective practice. When you hold a comrade's hand, print a poster in a union room, stand shoulder to shoulder at a campus barricade, all of Silicon Valley's artificial intelligence illusions dissolve like soap bubbles. Reality comes alive again the moment you touch organized struggle, and becomes the safest harbor for your mind.

Closing Manifesto: Laughter and Organization Cannot Be Handcuffed!

We stand within the founding righteousness and historical optimism of defending all progressive values humanity has produced and standing against barbarism. The rulers may have trillion-dollar Palantir software, X algorithms, nuclear missiles sanctified at the Ankara Summit, and the handcuffs of repressive forces in their hands.

Yet standing against them is the clarity of dialectical reason and the unshakable, organized will of the proletariat, which will tear down all these military and digital barricades.

The rational will that at Nuremberg stripped the uniforms from those arrogant fascist generals and hurled them into the dustbin of history beats today in our consciousness, in our anti-fascist united front. We will overcome walls of fear with dialectical laughter, and precarity with militant organization.

We will not surrender our future to Silicon Valley's oligarchs, NATO's war barons, or social democracy's hypocrisy! Sharpen your knowledge, take up your legal and class rights as a barricade, weave the united front against fascism, and rise toward history's inevitable dawn.

Capital will be renewed, fascism will be crushed, the organized and righteous working class will prevail!

For a united front of flesh, bone, and steel against fascism!
