Is this just a signature check when installing? Could it be bypassed by getting your dev cert and just signing everything you want to install? Things like obtainium and fdroid could even have a “load your own cert” option and automate this.

Nope. The Nordic countries are still controlled by capitalists, they (akd most of western Europe as well) just have given the workers some welfare policies in order to appease them and stop any revolutionary ideas. It’s no coincidence that these policies were in place while the Eastern bloc was around and they began to dismantle the welfare state as soon as the USSR fell and they felt they could get away with it.

(Disclaimer: I’m not saying that the welfare state is evil, and that we’d be better with the shitty US way of doing things)

It’s whitewashing because it’s implying that genocide, leftist suppression, etc are the exclusive characteristics of a fascistic system instead of business as usual under capitalism. This removes the bad aspects of capitalism (“if this is happening it’s because the US has turned fash, it’s not capitalism’s fault”).

He’s right tho. The stuff in the meme are just things that happened under capitalism.

Let’s not whitewash capitalism by blaming its atrocities on fascism.

Fascism is the takeover of the state by the capitalists.

What. Capitalism is already the takeover of the state by capitalists. The state apparatus is just the means by which the dominant class exerts its power.

Thomas Sankara and Rosa Luxemburg

gave order and safety to the poor.

Didn’t he end poverty by inviting all poor people to eat and then burning the place down with them inside?
