It is not only pivotal for America but globally now that corporations are monopolising every aspect of Life. We need to wake up to the truth that the majority are the true power who create the breakthroughs and finance their development through our taxes and work. I do believe this basic truth is awakening the masses now because of the arrogant stupidity of those in power and the never ending stream of abuses of that power we are now witnessing. They are systematically shooting themselves in their collective feet. Biden pardoning his son is such a blatant example of this arrogant abuse, only possible through total lack of understanding of how we are all a lot more informed and connected now than at any other time in our history. With much help from committed purveyors of truth such as you Lily.
I think it’s vital that the lawbreakers of the last 10 years (at least) be held accountable. And if pardoned preemptively, their crimes still need to be exposed. Many are waking up, but only accountability will close the loop and break the elite capture and corruption to which we’ve been submitting. This will be a real test of our commitment.
I was very distraught about the political divide after the 2020 election. I dropped everything and decided to develop a solution. I started with the root cause which I determined (as Lily concluded in this article) was the political structure consisting of a government completely controlled by political parties with political parties in turn controlled by the power elite. Major media is not only owned and controlled by the same power elite, but they profit from the attention demanded by the fear tactics.
But I didn't stop there, I went on to invent new the first realistic solution to this political dilemma, a new form of direct democracy that protects the government from outside influences including lobbyists, the elite, and political parties. It also solves the problems attributed to true democracy by Madison, the great Federalist who wanted a king for America along with Alexander Hamilton. It is based on a new process for creating federal laws and policies that capitalizes on the collective intelligence of the people, not on yes or no voting according to people's biases. Many parts of it have been used successfully around the world, achieving better results while bringing people together and eliminating political division. The details and a plan to get there are in the book End Politics Now.
Your phrase, "It's a fallacy to label fascism as solely right or left-wing; it transcends these labels..." goes directly to the issue. It is the specific personality that seeks top-down control through manipulation and deceit that also is paranoid of being revealed by critical thinkers that is independent of political philosophy. Any philosophy will do if it works in getting this type of person greater authority. They readily morph outward appearances as needed. Liz and Dick Cheney are good examples.
It is a people problem not a political philosophy that leads to these issues.
Politics is a distraction, shadows dancing on the wall that the cat paws at in vain. To be fair to the cat, they usually tire and move onto something more meaningful.
The shot callers control all sides, there is no political solution. Real power is financial power, perhaps more generally the control of physical resources, the movement of these resources alongside the financial tokens assigned to them and the allocation of these tokens. Few will know what the senior leadership of BlackRock or Chevron even look like. Most have never heard of Glencore or Drayfus.
Occassionally I try to explain to people how they are being misled by those that promote the phony left/right divide. Both sides use it to convince people to surrender their liberty for the "greater good"---just employing different rhetoric. I wish I could explain it as clearly as you have in this article.

A call to action! 😎✌🏾
