    A few days ago the US sanctioned an Egyptian bank for trading with Iran. (This means they are refusing to sell them USD.) Could this be a response to that?

      Likely, and this also goes beyond Iran. The US has basically weaponized the dollar system now, and everybody knows they need to get off of it ASAP.

            So when I see libs (liberals?) in reference to right-sided groups, that’s different than what the US calls “liberal” yea? Because I thought, in the US, the liberals were left. No?

              Fascists believe in inequality based on race or gender.

              (Neo)liberals believe in inequality based on class or wealth.

              So they both believe in inequality. A rich man gets better healthcare, better legal help. Better education. Better food as a child. Have more say and hold more power. Social democrats try to ameliorate that a bit but fundamentally still believe rich man should be above others. This is all right wing from a socialists perspective. This shared belief in inequality also explains how easily they can ally themselves with fascists.
