So your answer is yes? The companies like GM, Cadillac, etc. they were buildings tanks to defeat the Nazis were themselves fascists, because producing armarments is an inherently fascist endeavor? Even if the military they're equipping is actively fighting against real fascists?

I don’t think we can say that clearly looking almost ninety years back, but those 90 years lead to where we are today.

pressed into service?

or pressed the government into building more arms, and using them against the citizenry?

theres a pretty significant change between when the US was at declared war and when the companies making arms started pressing the US into undeclared war for the sake of selling the government more arms

  • Ukraine got rid of their nukes and look what happened.

    Drop your guard down and you'll get eaten for breakfast.
