A Russian anti-Putin political analyst writes:
Every fascist regime begins by inscribing on its flag the claim that its people and its country are victims.
That was the case under Mussolini, under Hitler, under Putin. And now — under Trump.
First, the flag bears the message that the state and society are someone’s victim.
And then comes the swastika.

In my view, every fascist regime also begins by inscribing on its flag the megalomaniac ambition that its people and its country are great.
That was the case under Mussolini, under Hitler, under Putin. And now — under Trump.
First, the flag bears the claim that the state and society are inherently great.
And then comes the swastika.

PRE FACTUM.
The written flow on Facebook is pushing each status further down. That’s why I decided to repost some texts that I hold dear, with added reflections and clarifications...
The status I am reposting here is about the dramatic, almost catastrophic choice facing the USA today:
The existence of the USA and Trump’s presidency are absolutely incompatible!

The United States once held an exceptionally important and unique leading role in the international security system, because it rested on four geostrategic, geopolitical, geoeconomic, and geocivilizational pillars:
1. The U.S. was a global power — its actions had global scope, and practically the entire world was within its zone of responsibility.
2. The U.S. was allied with Europe and several other developed nations of the global West — notably Canada, Japan, Australia, and South Korea.
3. The U.S. was a democratic state, and behind its actions always stood the reason (and justification) that it was defending democracy in various regions of the world.
4. The U.S. was “armed” with astonishing soft power — the power of values and principles, of massive financial aid for constructive and noble purposes, and of the irresistible appeal of its remarkable democratic structure.
Now, the evil named Trump is systematically dismantling all four of these vital pillars of American dominance — of the indispensable role of the United States in the world.
And the U.S. can be truly itself only if it rests on those foundational four pillars.

The evolution of human communities over millennia follows its unchanging civilizational path, which is also its essential civilizational code:
From Tribe to Nation and...
Then comes a bifurcation point — a moment of strategic branching:
– either toward Society,
– or toward the Mob (a gray mass, a depersonalized whole made up of atomized individuals).
This movement is not linear.

At the heart of the USA—today’s *Roman Empire*—Donald Trump reigns, a modern-day Caligula, the mad emperor who appointed his favorite horse as a senator and even wanted to make it a consul.
Now, many of the senators supporting Trump are not even horses—they are mere mules and donkeys. And this time, the favorite horse’s name is not Incitatus, but Vance.

Dark prospects anead of the USA...
Because in an inevitable historical pattern, after Caligula, the next emperor is always even crazier—Nero.
And this time, it wouldn’t be surprising if the new Nero plays not the lyre, but a wooden flute, while a raging fire of rebellion engulfs his own Rome.
