I. The Birth of the Technofascist Ruling Class
American capitalism has entered a new stage—one that can no longer be understood through the old frameworks of neoliberal globalization or even classical imperialism. What we are witnessing is the emergence of a fully integrated, technofascist ruling class, where the traditional factions of U.S. power—Wall Street financiers (the Yankees), military-industrial and energy barons (the Cowboys), and Silicon Valley’s tech oligarchs (the Digerati)—are no longer distinct entities vying for control. They are merging, coalescing into a single bloc that fuses finance, war, energy, and digital control into a seamless system of imperial governance.
This is not just capitalism as usual—it is a new form of capitalist dictatorship, where economic power is enforced not just through markets, but through algorithmic control, digital censorship, AI-driven financial coercion, and military-backed economic warfare. This is technofascism:
A system where finance capital doesn’t just speculate on industries—it owns them outright.
A system where military power is no longer just about war, but about enforcing economic compliance through sanctions, supply chain control, and AI-driven surveillance.
A system where digital technology is not just about profit, but about restructuring social, political, and economic life to serve the needs of capital accumulation and empire.
The old world of trilateral imperialism—where the U.S. ruled through a power-sharing arrangement with Europe and Japan—is disintegrating. The new order is one where the U.S. ruling class is preparing to govern alone, through direct financial, military, and technological control over global chokepoints. This is hyper-imperialism, a system where the U.S. no longer relies on alliances and multilateral institutions, but instead tightens its grip over global financial flows, digital infrastructure, and energy supplies.
At the center of this transformation is the merger of the Yankee, Cowboy, and Digerati factions into a single technofascist power bloc. The firms at the helm—BlackRock, Vanguard, State Street, Blackstone—do not simply invest in different industries; they are the architecture of imperial control itself.
II. The Yankee-Cowboy-Digerati Merger: The Anatomy of Technofascism
The ruling class of the U.S. is no longer divided along industrial lines. The same firms that control finance also own Big Oil, the military-industrial complex, and Big Tech. This merger is not simply economic—it is political and strategic, binding together every function of empire into a cohesive system of digital and financial control.
1. The Yankees (Finance Capital) as the Nerve Center of Technofascism
Finance capital has always played an outsized role in U.S. imperialism, but under technofascism, it no longer operates in the background—it is the command structure itself.
BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street do not just invest in Google, Amazon, or Microsoft—they control them.
The same investment firms that manage retirement accounts also dictate the policies of ExxonMobil and Lockheed Martin.
The Federal Reserve, Treasury Department, and Pentagon work in concert with Wall Street to ensure financial compliance at home and abroad.
Through direct ownership and government collaboration, monopoly finance capital has ensured that military and tech power are subsumed under financial control. This is what makes technofascism distinct from previous forms of imperialism—it is a financial empire first, where capital dictates military, industrial, and technological policy—not the other way around.
2. The Cowboys (Military-Industrial and Energy Complex) as Enforcers of Financial Empire
The Cowboy faction has historically been the most aggressive force in U.S. imperialism—whether through the invasion of Iraq, the control of Latin America’s resources, or the expansion of private security and arms production. But in today’s technofascist economy, they are no longer just resource extractors—they are enforcers of a financialized war economy.
Big Oil and the military-industrial complex are fully financialized, with ExxonMobil, Chevron, and Raytheon functioning as investment assets as much as they are economic powerhouses.
The Pentagon’s contracts for AI, drone warfare, and cyberwarfare are deeply intertwined with Silicon Valley’s monopolies, ensuring that U.S. war-making is increasingly digitalized.
The military itself is becoming an enforcement mechanism for financial sanctions, using AI-driven economic warfare to coerce nations into compliance.
Rather than sending hundreds of thousands of troops into foreign occupations, the new model of U.S. warfare is financial and digital—leveraging Wall Street’s control over global markets, AI-driven surveillance, and Big Tech’s monopolization of digital infrastructure.
3. The Digerati (Big Tech) as the Architects of Digital Control
Under technofascism, Silicon Valley is no longer just a sector of the economy—it is the central nervous system of capital accumulation and empire.
Google, Microsoft, and Amazon control the Pentagon’s cloud infrastructure, surveillance networks, and AI warfare programs.
Meta and X (formerly Twitter) act as global propaganda enforcement mechanisms, shaping public discourse through algorithmic control.
Palantir, a firm with deep ties to the U.S. intelligence community, operates as a bridge between finance capital, military intelligence, and AI-driven governance.
This is not just about corporate greed—this is about using technology to restructure global power dynamics in favor of a U.S.-dominated digital order, where all financial, industrial, and social activity is dictated by algorithms controlled by American capital.
III. Hyper-Imperialism: Chokepoints, Digital Enclosures, and the Future of Empire
This ruling class convergence is happening at a time when the old world order is collapsing. The U.S. is facing challenges from China, Russia, and the Global South, and instead of relying on multilateral imperialism, it is shifting to a model of direct chokepoint control.
1. Economic Chokepoints as Weapons of War
The Panama Canal coup was a financial and logistical maneuver to push China out of Latin America.
The weaponization of Taiwan’s semiconductor industry is a strategic move to ensure that AI and digital production remain under U.S. financial control.
U.S. economic sanctions are now algorithmically enforced, cutting off entire countries from trade, banking, and digital commerce with the press of a button.
2. The Digital Enclosure Movement: A New Form of Imperial Control
The internet is being partitioned into U.S.-controlled and China-controlled spheres, ensuring that the next phase of capitalism is dictated by whoever controls digital access.
Finance capital is integrating AI-driven surveillance to manage population control in both the core and the periphery.
The next stage of economic warfare will involve cutting off access to AI infrastructure, digital currencies, and automated financial markets.
IV. The Contradictions of Technofascism
While this hyper-imperialist bloc is more unified than ever, it is not without its contradictions:
Will Big Tech remain subservient to Wall Street, or will it attempt to become an autonomous power center?
Will the Pentagon accept that future wars are increasingly digital, or will military-industrial elites push back against full automation?
Will the empire be able to hold together as Europe, Japan, and the Global South develop alternative financial and technological ecosystems?
While the technofascist ruling class is consolidating, it is also becoming more brittle. Every new form of empire contains within it the contradictions that will lead to its eventual collapse.
V. The Empire Consolidates, but the Clock is Ticking
Technofascism is not a departure from imperialism—it is its most advanced stage. It is the total merger of finance, war, and digital control into a single ruling system, one that no longer depends on globalization or consensus, but on algorithmic power, financial dictatorship, and technological monopoly.
The question is: how long can they hold it together before the contradictions rip it apart?
