Sexta foi dia de andar por São Paulo e pelo tempo com a @binha2504 Começamos no Brasil Colônia com o Pateo do Collegio. Construído em 1554 para abrigar a escola jesuíta de São Paulo, o Pateo foi o marco da fundação da maior cidadd da América Latina. Depois fomos pro Primeiro Império na Casa N°1 e o Solar da Marquesa de Santos. São Paulo cresci a cada dia mais em importância no Império e passou a ser visitada frequentemente pelo Imperador (muitas vezes para matar saudades de Domitilia de Castro, a Marquesa de Santos). Para o Segundo Império andamos para o Largo São Francisco onde está a imponente Faculdade ds Direito de São Paulo. Durante o avanço educacional do Segundo Império, São Paulo se consolida como cidade estudantil, contracenando ao lado do Rio de Janeiro na formação de políticos, intelectuais e magistrados. Dentre os muitos que se formaram na Faculdade estão: Alvares de Azevedo, Lygia Fagundes Teles, Monteiro Lobato, Julio de Mesquita, Ruy Barbosa, Castro Alves, Luis Gama, Jose de Alencar, Washington Luis, Prudente de Morais, Janio Quadros, Afonso Pena, Campos Sales, Oswald de Andrade, Di Cavalcanti e Ulysses Guimarães. Indo pra República Velha temos o Largo do Café com os edifícios-sede de diversos bancos entre eles Banco do Brasil e a BOVESPA. São Paulo se industrializava a passos largos e a riqueza do Café trouxe o progresso e o futuro para a cidade. São Paulo se consolida como centro econômico do País, ditando a economia e as ações da Bolsa de Valores. Terminando o passeio vendo o anoitecer no Banespa (atual Farol Santander). É só do alto que se consegue entender a dimensão e o poder de São Paulo. Mais de 13 milhões de vidas passam todos os dias pelas ruas, avenidas e becos de São Paulo. Cada prédio uma história. Cada rua um causo. São Paulo é única e é várias. São Paulo é... São Paulo. #SPCITY #SaoPaulo #SaoPaulo466Anos #PateoDoCollegio #FaculdadeDeDireitoUSP #SolarDaMarquesa #CCBB #FarolSantander #LargoDoCafé #LargoSãoFranciso #MuseuAnchieta #saopaulocity #MuseuDaCidadeDeSaoPaulo (at São Paulo) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8VNGGOHQZU/?igshid=8g0f2t3ectk8

The master of burns Yours Truly

[steversons]

But, you know, that's the whole point here?

Fascism uses the right-wing to promote its visions, as if they really care about the country. Once in the power, fascism systematically get rid of all and any opposition, only to remain indefinitely governing the people.

As Fascism works, so do Communism.

The difference lays on fascism using right-wing ideas such as conservative policies, religious policies, or freedom of economy to get the power.

Communism uses left-wing ideias such as free and universal healthcare, free and universal education, better social policies, etc, to get the power.

Left or right, there's no difference at the end of the day. Both want the better for the country and its people. The problem is extreme tendencies who uses the Left or the Right to ascend to the power and create an autocratic regime.

The post isn't against right-wing ideas. It's against fascism, a whole different thing.

here’s the thing about fascism 

it appeals largely to the middle class and to the wealthy, though many poor people can and do get swept up too. it appeals to people who are scared of the word socialism and who are feeling left out by whatever is happening in the current political game. 

fascism comes to power by convincing people they need the government to protect them. from what or who varies to whatever is convenient. protection from immigrants, protection from other nations, protection from corruption. it convinces them that they matter, it convinces them that all the other options are scary, are failing. it convinces them that they are a target. it thrives on cultural pessimism, it validates concern that someone’s way of life is being threatened. 

fascism is against democracy. it is against socialism. it is totalitarianism. it is control by one single party. it convinces you that democracy is failing, it offers you another way. 

fascism is hypernationalism: my country and my (very specific kind of) people come first. it appeals to the hyper-patriotic. it uses propaganda to promote unity behind a single nation identity and discourages diversity. it convinces you that because other people aren’t part of your country or your ethnicity, they are worth less. they don’t matter. it promotes racial unity over class unity or equality. 

fascism looks for scapegoats to blame economic problems on. in the 1920s and 30s, it blamed the jewish: antisemitism is a core facet of fascism and it’s very important to remember that. but the scapegoat can and has been shifted to various minorities and outsiders. it’s strict gender roles. it’s eugenics. it’s ostracization of the Other while propping up the Ideal. (straight, white.)

fascism is corporatism. it’s for profit. it’s war mongering. it glorifies war and sacrifice for a greater purpose. historically, it’s imperialistic. it turns you against the media, against the press, until the only news is the state run news. 

the further a politician moves to the right, the closer they get to fascism. 

fascism rarely comes to power through a majority. it relies on people who don’t care, don’t vote, it relies on a divided left. it paints the left as the bigger threat. at the same time, it keeps the message vague, so people can supply whatever they want to hear. it tailors the message to the crowd. it props up a leader, it centralizes power. 

it subjugates everyone, the people who support it just get oppressed last. in the meantime, everyone else suffers.
