Annihilating Tribal Society
Modern states, through international institutions (i.e.
International Monetary Fund, World Bank, and NATO), routinely annihilate
peaceful tribal societies. As the dominant modern state, the United States
combines these institutionalized enforcement tools with its war-making capacity
to expropriate tribal territories and resources for the benefit of the market
sector (i.e. energy, consumer electronics, and the military industrial complex).
This collusion between US and EU-dominated institutions and markets is what led
to the genocides in the Great Lakes Region of Africa (Burundi, Democratic
Republic of Congo, and Rwanda) as well as in the Balkans.
If fascism is defined as a rationalization of theft through coercion, then it fits the US/EU model exercised in Central and South America, Africa and Asia, where tribal societies (i.e. Maya, Hutu, and West Papuans) are annihilated or displaced to facilitate access to their resources. Aided by imperial social media networks (i.e. Avaaz, Purpose, and Amnesty International), war against tribal societies and independent states now manipulates public opinion to support this institutionalized aggression.
The future seems to be a contest between secular and religious fascism.
