RE: Is Socialism being used as a path to Fascism?

Ok, as promised.. I believe I have properly digested the substance of this content to be able to respond appropriately.

For the most part, your analysis is spot on but we may diverge on a couple things. I agree on how socialistic sentiment has been used to move us closer to a centralized Orwellian style government by shifting the Overton window. (Think the frog in a pot analogy). I would not call it fascist in strictly dictatorial sense. I do however believe if such a regime is realized it will be intolerant to dissent not unlike the CCP.

One crucial dichotomy that may not have been able to be explored here is that of nationalism / globalism. I recognize the latter as part of the mechanism for implementing the control desired. This, in my opinion, is why the US or any country of people with strong nationalistic values are a stumbling block to the global elites' organization and orchestration.

They have conceived quite a robust propaganda machine and you're treatment of the topic of BLM really illustrates how crafty they are in constructing a narrative. You may suppose it is just a Marxist or socialist movement but actually it is more than that if one were to take the writings of the official group into account. They are decidedly anti-west, anti-traditionalist and seem to have a bent towards anarchy / creating chaos in which state presumably they can dismantle the old system and usher in the new.

As they say... you can't make an omelet without cracking a few eggs
