Isn't that whole division thing a bedrock of conservative thought? "Everyone has their place" taken to the point where, to them, it logically makes sense that everyone should be neatly sorted into different countries and we'll all magically live better loves when we have our own ethno states to stay in.
I started to lose you at the last paragraph. The way I've been told Social Democracy is simply Capitalism with a lot of safeguards & controls in place. Places like Norway and Denmark with better safety nets. It's still Capitalism and if the Capitalist class was smart they would implement this everywhere to keep their system safe...
I don't see how that's closer to Fascism because I think of Fascism as Capitalism in crisis. Those Nordic states are Capitalist but seem much more stable than even the US and other more oligarchic states like most of western Europe. So wouldn't Social Democracy be farther away from Fascism due to the increased economic and social stability?
Social democracy isn't just capitalists being smart, it's capitalists bribing the workers by redistributing the superprofits generated by imperialist growth. It is smart to get worker buy-in to capitalism by giving them a cut of the growth, but fascism doesn't occur just because capitalists suddenly become too stupid to do social democracy. It occurs when the superprofits decline and the empire has to turn inward to sustain growth. The social democratic ideological superstructure remains, but the superexploitation comes home.
It may not be THE basis of conservative thought, but its certainly a pillar.
Even if you do move, the next thing they’ll say is “why did you move here? You should stay and fix things where you came from”.
