Well first we need to understand some of those terms.

Neither Fascism, nor Sharia law, would be alternatives to any economic system, the first being a political system the second religious law. I could argue that most countries in the world are fascist, although a more liberal version than in the past.

The only real workable alternative to capitalism, 'the private ownership of the means of production', is socialism, 'the workers ownership of the means of production'. Instead of companies with private owners, companies would be owned by those who work them. Labour would share in the profits made. This would increase money in your pocket, in the economy, and increase motivation.

Politically we could be truly libertarian. A libertarian socialist system would break down the power that governments and the state have. Capitalism is the only reason we have, and need, government and state. We have it because capitalists need it to protect their capital, and we need it because it protects us from exploitation.
Or at least that is supposed to be how it works. Really though the problems we need protecting from are mostly the result of capitalism in the first place. It's an economic system that allows the few lucky owners of capital to exploit those who have only their labour to sell. Any gains we've had as citizens have come about through the people lobbying protesting, and worker organization etc.
Socialism was born out of worker organization, Anarchism came about when the left split between Marxists, who supported the state, and those whom apposed it. The capitalists, TPTB, know the power of organization, they are highly organized, and obvioulsy fear it in the people.

When the economy slows down it's completely artificial, we do not lose the machinery to do the work, we do not lose the labour, all we lose is the ability to work. Resources are kept artificially scarce in order to control the economy. If people had access to the means of production we could produce what we need instead of trying to collect a welfare cheque. Or working to produce consumer crap in order to increase someone else's bank account.

Capitalism, nor socialism, are what the mainstream teaches us. We are conditioned to believe one is freedom and the other is totalitarianism. Other countries do the opposite, but neither are what they claim to be.

PsyOps, just trying to sow divisiveness in America.

They know that this will just stoke the political divisions here by saying stuff like that.

So the theocrats/fascists in Iran are applauding revolting mobs? LOL. Its way past time those religious crazies in Tehran got Mussolini'd.
