So Japan really wants to be involved in Taiwan
honestly, I was about to post that, seemingly, fascist countries simply don’t learn their lesson, and they get back up to their old tricks quickly.
but that makes me uncomfortable considering the implications. What do we do with countries that have fallen to fascism?
I’ve been dedicating a lot of time to that lately. My response is going to be: let them learn their lessons by themselves. By this, I mean, China is poised to be the next global hegemon (if we can’t consider it to be already given its industrial base). Essentially: once socialism is global hegemon, keep rogue fascist countries unindustrialized, demilitarized and sanctioned up and down. Estonia, Finland and Poland want to go full fascist and cry about communism? Cool, let them. Fascism will eat them inside out, they’ll never be able to catch up to communists economically if they remain in fascism, and seeing the grass being greener on the other side, they’ll do the communism themselves.
There’s an idea I’ve heard people spread about a 100 year or so repeating cycle of authoritarianism/fascism. Capitalism will inevitably lead to fascism. If no progress is made towards advancing socialism, anything that is done to overcoming fascism is merely slapping a bandage on an infected wound.
What do we do? Resist by whatever means we can and organize the working class. Every step towards that goal, no matter how small, chips away at it. Fascism is doomed to fail. We just need to help it along.
Don’t put other fascists
in charge of the rebuilding project
You get rid of the rot. You get rid of the people (from the positions, not execution), the political structures, and capitalism, to rid the country of fascism and the potential of reinfection.

Japanese fascist: Let’s start another war with China. The First Sino-Japanese War wasn’t a fluke. We will surely win this time.
