I understand that most people's first reaction to the rampant fascism going on in the US is to compare it to Nazi Germany, but I'd argue that what's happening now is a lot closer to the CIA-backed dictatorships that plagued South and Central America during the 70's and 80's. The rampant neoliberal destruction of the administrative state, the forced disappearances, the clandestine detention centers operating within major cities, it's all incredibly hitleresque, of course, but I'd argue it's inspired as much or more by the work of Videla or Pinochet.
