Last two flags are in the wrong order. Not just chronologically, but with regards to causation too: the Nazis were heavily influenced by American racists.
An argument could be made for the American traitor flag to be on both sides of the swastika, but that would be pretty messy..
A Stars & Stripes with 48 stars would probably be too subtle..
Hitler spoke about the American south and Jim Crow with reverence, he thought it should be a model for German racist policies.
This was something he wrote about in Mein Kampf.
Greater than just the South, the eugenics movement in the US in the early 20th century, with forced sterilizations and criminalizing interracial marriage, happened nationally.
Though you don't need to be capitalist to be racist as fuck. Racism exists all over the world in many different government and economic systems throughout all of human history

i mean not just the south, the west and midwest too where do u think he got all those ideas about contiguous "living space" and about exterminating the people who already live in the land u want to steel and about consecration camps and reservations that continuously move towards a frontier until the displaced people have nowhere to go, amerikkka from its very inception was the template for nazi germany.

Fascism is Capitalism's immune system, activated when the wealth gap gets too large.
Activated when the people get's too aware of the exploitation and begins fighting back
Maybe we shouldn't be using an economic system whose immune system has historically lead to genocide, especially in an age where nukes are now a thing.

The CSA precedes the Nazis. In fact, Nazi race laws were partially based on slavery laws from the southern US.
In simpler terms, it's greed.
That's too close to a "it's just human nature" asspull too often used to justify capitalistic skullduggery.

It needs another frame showing that feudalism never went away. Capitalism is just a way to walk us all back to feudalism.
Not really. Capitalism was born from feudalism, but is entirely different in character.

An anarchist would take off the capitalist mask to reveal hierarchy
Capitalism is a hierarchy so true as well

Facsism is just capitalism when you try to say no.
Understandably, workers didn't like capitalism. So, when they found out about socialism, many of them grouped up and tried to say no. After which, facsism was made to counter this.
So, I mean literally fascism is just capitalism when you try to say no. You only get mercan staal neo classical economics because you say yes.
