Take-no-prisoners monopolized capitalism, where the state and the corporations become symbiotic, is the entrance to Fascism. That the US has entered fascism is a known and accepted reality among Europe watchers, since Europe itself has gained some presence in far right European politics. When the US Neocons toppled the democratically elected Ukraine government and installed a Neo Nazi government — I think that is very telling for geopolitical analysts. It also defines the NATO of recent decades.

Poking Russia with Nazi operatives on their border is an act of desperation on the part of the US. Russia has successfully ignored US acts of war, like sanctions, and followed to the letter Agreements like Minsky II and honored the human rights universally established at the UN, including the Right to Self Determination for ethnic minorities established centuries ago in Ukraine.

Russia is about as far from political Fascism as one can move. I notice there's a confusion surrounding this in the US. Repression can happen at either end of the spectrum and shouldn't be mistaken for Fascism, which is far more exploitive of the people and uses them to pay for the irresistible quest to conquer and rule the entire world, depopulating wherever necessary. Under Fascism, government exists to benefit the corporations, not the people. People are disposable because they massively over-produce themselves, burdening the world. Despite their rabid nationalism (USA!, USA!, USA!) even their own citizens are throw-away people. Ballast.

There are always specific agencies in Fascist governments that look to be rogue, operating without oversight outside the law. The new Ukraine government is rife with these. These same agencies are the ones that produce all the highly classified government documents. They successfully hide behind "state security." In this way, the Neocon Brotherhood is unstoppable.
