“The fascist must expand to live. Consequently he has to control the world’s resources and markets, and he can permit no internal opposition.”
—George Jackson, Blood In My Eye
When George Jackson wrote Blood In My Eye, he wasn’t speculating about the future. He was reporting from the front lines of a war already underway—a war against Black life, against poor people, against revolution itself. What Jackson offered was not just a critique of American fascism; it was a theoretical framework for understanding how fascism functions in a settler-colonial empire in decline. He laid out its anatomy, its psychology, and its purpose: to preserve the dominance of the capitalist state by any means necessary, particularly through racialized state violence and organized counterinsurgency.
Over fifty years later, we are living inside the next iteration of that same war machine. The fascist state has been updated. It has been digitized, automated, and wrapped in the sleek aesthetics of Silicon Valley. We call this evolution technofascism—and it is no coincidence that the roots of this system stretch back to the exact conditions Jackson described.
This is not an homage. This is continuity. Jackson is not our inspiration—he is our foundation.
I. Jackson’s Analysis of Fascism: Colonial Logic Turned Inward
George Jackson made it plain: fascism in the United States is not imported from Europe. It is homegrown. It is the domestic face of settler-colonial rule, turned inward once the U.S. had expanded to its continental limits. The genocide of Indigenous people, the enslavement of Africans, the annexation of Mexico—these were all forms of colonial conquest. But once that conquest reached its outer limits, the ruling class had to secure the internal colony.
Fascism, Jackson argued, is imperialism turned inward—the state response to a growing domestic crisis of legitimacy, capital accumulation, and racial rebellion. His analysis was forged in the era of COINTELPRO, Vietnam, and the urban uprisings of the 1960s, but its structural logic holds true today.
And today, that logic has been upgraded.
II. Prisons as Prototypes: From Carceral Fascism to Predictive Technofascism
In Blood In My Eye, Jackson described the prison as a testing ground for fascist control. The prison was where the state perfected its tactics of surveillance, isolation, dehumanization, and ideological warfare. But what was once confined to prison walls has now become the infrastructure of everyday life.
Technofascism is simply the generalization of the prison logic to society as a whole. In this system:
- Facial recognition replaces the prison ID
- Ankle monitors become GPS surveillance on every phone
- Predictive policing replaces patrols
- Social media replaces the snitch
- And the carceral logic becomes ambient, invisible, and permanent
In short: we are all in the prison now—but only some of us are behind bars.
III. Corporate-State Fusion: Monopoly Capital in the Age of Algorithms
Jackson foresaw the rise of corporate-state consolidation. He warned that monopoly capitalism would demand an increasingly repressive state to protect its wealth from the people it exploits. What we call technofascism today is the logical result of that fusion.
- Amazon builds the infrastructure for ICE.
- Google partners with the Pentagon.
- Elon Musk’s SpaceX launches military satellites.
- Palantir feeds data to the police state.
- BlackRock controls the capital flows behind it all.
This is not just capitalism with fascist characteristics. It is a qualitatively new regime—where the state, the tech sector, and finance capital operate as one integrated apparatus of control.
Jackson anticipated this when he said, “the fascist must expand to live.” What he could not have foreseen is that the expansion would be into the mind, the screen, the algorithm, the cloud.
IV. Revolutionary Strategy: The Terrain Has Shifted, But the War Remains
George Jackson believed in revolutionary violence—not because he glorified it, but because he understood that the ruling class would never surrender power willingly. He believed that oppressed people had the right and the duty to defend themselves. But the battlefield has changed.
Technofascism doesn’t just send in troops—it sends you a push notification. It doesn’t always assassinate—it deplatforms, demonetizes, and discredits. It controls not just the body, but the perception of the body. It doesn’t only police you physically—it polices your behavior, your desires, your thoughts.
So what does resistance look like under these new conditions?
- It means building underground again.
- It means studying Jackson not just as history, but as strategy.
- It means creating autonomous infrastructure—off the grid, off the cloud, off their map.
- It means learning how to weaponize information, build dual power, and turn digital chains into revolutionary tools.
- It means fighting to win.
Conclusion: Blood Still in Our Eyes
We carry George Jackson not in memory, but in method.
We carry Blood In My Eye not as a sacred text, but as a blueprint.
The empire has evolved, but so have we.
And let this be clear: technofascism is not the future—it is the now.
But as long as there are people who refuse to be slaves to algorithms, who refuse to be managed by data, who refuse to surrender their humanity to a machine—then the struggle continues.
And when the final reckoning comes, the ruling class will not ask whether we followed the law.
They will ask who taught us to fight.
And we will say:
George Jackson.
