I start to recognize about the execution of middlemachine:
* I CAN NOT execute my plan via the business-entrepeneur vector:
(without changing my talk, my look, dumbing down my ideas, etc)
* I MUST NOT execute my plan:

#antirelease
At the same time, the bourgeois overpowerment of what I believe is my way of life fully paints itself not as a contingency, but as systemic!
I will never, and could never, really have "good neighbours".

¶Reading: Robert Paxton
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Paxton
The article identifies five paradigmatic stages of a fascist movement, although he notes that only Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy progressed through all five:
1) Intellectual exploration, where disillusionment with popular democracy manifests itself in discussions of lost national vigor
2) Rooting, where a fascist movement, aided by political deadlock and polarization, becomes a player on the national stage
3) Arrival to power, where conservatives seeking to control rising leftist opposition invite the movement to share power
4) Exercise of power, where the movement and its charismatic leader control the state in balance with state institutions such as the police and traditional elites such as the clergy and business magnates.
5) Radicalization or entropy, where the state either becomes increasingly radical, as did Nazi Germany, or slips into traditional authoritarian rule, as did Fascist Italy.[6]
In his 2004 book The Anatomy of Fascism, Paxton refines his five-stage model and puts forward the following definition for fascism:
Fascism may be defined as a form of political behavior marked by obsessive preoccupation with community decline, humiliation, or victim-hood and by compensatory cults of unity, energy, and purity, in which a mass-based party of committed nationalist militants, working in uneasy but effective collaboration with traditional elites, abandons democratic liberties and pursues with redemptive violence and without
ethical or legal restraints goals of internal cleansing and external expansion.[7]
