Kanye West, now known as Ye, has embraced fascism, expressing admiration for figures like Hitler and Mussolini. This embrace has been consistent and public, moving beyond isolated incidents. He has defended Hitler, denied the Holocaust, and praised Nazi propaganda techniques. Ye's embrace of fascism coincides with a broader shift in global politics. The article argues that Ye's political evolution reflects the decay of American capitalism and the rise of far-right forces. He has become increasingly vocal about his views, utilizing his platform to spread antisemitic and pro-fascist ideas. The article critiques those who attempt to explain away Ye's views as a mental health issue or a publicity stunt, arguing that they are dangerous expressions of political reaction. It posits that Ye's embrace of fascism reflects a deeper crisis within bourgeois society and a growing acceptance of extreme right-wing ideologies. His influence, amplified by his fame, makes his pronouncements particularly dangerous in the current political climate. The author claims Ye's words contribute to normalizing fascism and emboldening fascist elements globally. find the original article here: https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2025/05/15/mhae-m15.html
