Why say white supremacy when it's fascist. They are not the same thing. Fascism is promising much more change. This isn't the kkk, this is a group trying to overturn representative government, fix elections, persecute critics and opponents, and scapegoat an ever expanding group of others for all of society's ills.
Run by a supreme leader, or group of leaders, they will become mad with power and become worse, and are already starting off from the worst people in the country by character.
It's both. Hence the whole deliberately signaling to white supremacist neo nazis and filling ice with them.
They are two sides of the same coin. It's not like you can achieve one without the other. One is tactical focused, the other strategically guided. One devides the other controls.
Fascist can be other races other than white though. It is becoming rather popular in latin america. Including with latin americans in the US.
One who brought fascism to Latin America? Two: Latinos see consider themselves "white". Three: no nonwhite fascist government has done anything of note.
So yes, it's not all Fascist have to be white. But when someone says someone is a fascist people don't picture Black people.
We will be seeing latin american countries following the same mold, and get help and support from the US doing it, that will help them fix elections and quash resistance. Just with intel alone they could do a lot of damage, the US has everything compromised electronically.
In europe as well, all non fascist politicians should presume all of their communications are intercepted and read by their opposition if it could help them, I'm not joking. Part of the plan here is to topple more and more countries to the Russia model.
We will be seeing more coups, like venezuela, which was a covert military coup, their generals are the de facto rulers now, civilian leaders are figureheads kept in place to sign over assets to connected groups, while the army keeps order, and when there is resistance the US will help them form and arm paramilitary groups, perhaps with illegal drug and gun sales, to do things the army doesn't want to do directly, like run death squads.
As an aside, that grab operation on maduro was not possible, and would not have been attempted, if they didn't have an agreement with the military to stand down,and intel on the president and any loyal contingents. Helicoptors are vulnerable, even to small arms venezuela has including non fixed artillery that they couldn't reliably take out, like machine guns, rpg's, manpads, russian shoulder fired stuff. All in a mobilized venzuela in one of the most protected places in the country.
