Title.
Weimar Germany doesn’t count because the USSR eventually took down the Nazis.
Basically, has this kind of fascistic oligarchic hegemony and weak progressive resistance ever been seen before? What came after?
Victorian era in the utopianist period before the scientific socialists edged them out.
With a dash of the tsarist Russian period when the narodniks were starting to run around

At least militant syndicalism then was somewhat powerful and destructive.
Narodniks agrarian socialists who focused primarily on educating the peasantry by focusing on recruiting among the proletariat to train cadres that could be dispatched into the countryside during their initial years.
Post-1848 years up to the Paris Commune: 1848-1873
The Arab Spring was 100% the most important event of the 21st century so far and like 1848 it’s failure has triggered dominoes-like decades of repression that has washed across the world
18th of Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte is a novel about Donald Trump
The Arab Spring was 100% the most important event of the 21st century so far
Not the genocide in Gaza ???
The failure of the Arab Spring guaranteed an Israeli attempt at genocide, tho I get your point, the Palestinian genocide is the most defining event of the 21st century
From Class Struggles in France, it rly is spot on as a description of trump
“To the proletariat, the election of Napoleon meant the deposition of Cavaignac, the overthrow of the Constituent Assembly, the dismissal of bourgeois republicanism, the cessation of the June victory. To the petty bourgeoisie, Napoleon meant the rule of the debtor over the creditor. For the majority of the big bourgeoisie, the election of Napoleon meant an open breach with the faction of which it had had to make use, for a moment, against the revolution, but which became intolerable to it as soon as this faction sought to consolidate the position of the moment into a constitutional position. Napoleon in place of Cavaignac meant to this majority the monarch, in place of the republic, the beginning of the royalist restoration, a sly hint at Orléans, the fleur-de-lis hidden beneath the violets.[87] Lastly, the army voted for Napoleon against the Mobile Guard, against the peace idyll, for war.
Thus it happened, as the Neue Rheinische Zeitung stated, that the most simple-minded man in France acquired the most multifarious significance. Just because he was nothing, he could signify everything save himself.”

Wow! It’s impressive how in point that is.
Yeah, from what I understand Hitler was viewed similarly on his rise to power (as a fool and a buffoon)

Idk. The end of The War of Spartacus in 71BC. What do you have to look forward to after that? Half a millenium of Roman rule? Then the Middle Ages. Shit sucked.
I see parallels with Rwanda in the early 90s. Tensions followed by assassination followed by genocide. Key difference is that there was a civil ware beforehand.
