Economically Fascism is Fascism whoever is in power. I mean specifically rule by the rich, Plutocracy, as in Crony Capitalism, be it Military contractors, or Woke Corporation$, just follow the campaign donations.

Plutocracy-https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/plutocracy Politicians-https://www.npr.org/sections/itsallpolitics/2015/02/18/387125444/why-congress-doesnt-really-worry-about-what-most-americans-think Crony Capitalism-https://www.economist.com/finance-and-economics/2022/03/12/our-crony-capitalism-index-offers-a-window-into-russias-billionaire-wealth I have no fix for this issue, but we ain't a democracy or a republic and maybe have been since...1865? On one hand we're less free with a plutocracy. On the other hand, when we were a republic, we did slavery (millions killed), the wars against Native Americans, against Irish, Chinese, and Mexicans. Perhaps a nuanced? If so we can go with Orson Welles last comment in Graham Greene's The Third Man. (12 seconds) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cydkTy6GmFA In any case we may not have the time to correct this once, republic, because I concerned about the existential threat from Putin, and Xi. But that is just me, for the team here, continue with quantum modalism or whether eternal inflation promotes or negates this?

Thanks to the filibuster there's not a snowball's chance in hell of it getting confirmed by the US Senate. Maybe if we're lucky in a few years we'll have a less fascist Senate and they will confirm it, but Ukraine can't wait for distant elections and a long drawn out trial in the world court, it needs that money right now to survive, and Biden has the executive power to seize that Russian money and give it to Ukraine anytime he wishes.
