https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/ba9ae99b-b1bc-47a6-88b7-bf631a8dc34e Indian activist Shehla Rashid details how fascism thrives off of economic crisis, using religious and ethnic sectarian hatred and communal violence to distract from the problems caused by neoliberal capitalism. "When people don't get jobs, they are told it's because of Muslims," she notes. "We are told that Muslims take away our jobs, Muslims take away our resources." "BJP's mode of operation has become very, very predictable," Shehla adds, referring to Prime Minister Modi's ruling far-right Hindu nationalist party. "So every time there is a communal riot, every time Hindu-Muslim violence happens, BJP is going to come to power." "This kind of thing works best in a time of economic crisis, because it is in every government's interest, whether it's a BJP government or a Congress government, to take the focus away from real issues, so then we are talking about Hindu-Muslim violence and we are not talking about education, we are not talking about employment."
