Funding the Future What's the choice? Care or fascism?

This video argues that we are facing a stark economic and political choice: fascism or care.
Fascism is not history. It is happening now. It has a distinct economic logic built on extreme neoliberalism:
- Market worship
- Punishment instead of protection
- Austerity
- Fear, and
- The use of the state to enforce cruelty while insulating wealth.
The economics of care offers a different framework entirely. It puts human needs first, makes security and freedom from fear a public duty, and insists that markets must serve people rather than control them. Care is not sentimental. It is economic realism, social resilience, and democracy’s defence.
This is not an abstract debate. The structures we build now will decide whether we live in a society organised around fear or one organised around care.
That is the choice. And there is no neutral ground.
