The specific feature of fascism different from democratic dictatorship is that it was organized from fictitious capitalists within German. And second feature is mobilization of conformist mass against communism. In this time, fictitious capital becomes international, and overcome nation-state border. So fictitious capital doesn't need organize within nation-state. So current credit capitalist stage is featured from predominance of the economical over the political. According to the economic dominance, people's consciousness also change. So some political issue can't raise to mobilize mass. Rather direct protest against international economic institution such as WTO,FTAA, G7 etc emerge increasingly. It is the reason how we must organize people in new program and tactics.
