I’m working on it. Maybe. Well, one day. Like when other Left of centre, anti trump, anti corpo type folks oppose the things I oppose in correct manner and degree, duh.

    I guess I am just not expecting to defeat fascism through electoral politics. It didn’t really work before and I don’t see any reason for it to work now.

        Sure but fascism isn’t just one dude. Them not getting elected doesn’t end fascism. We already have fascist in our government. They’re in our police force, military, local administrations, legislature, and judicial system. Many of them own significant portions of our national economy, some of them even have international capital. Fascists are willing to cheat, lie, and kill for power. You can’t stop that with a single election or even a series of them. If you think that you can then you have vastly underestimated our enemy.

        The nazis lost elections before they won them. They didn’t go away after losing, they got stronger.

        Fascists need to be identified and purged fron official positions, the financial assets of bourgeois fascists should be seized, and most importantly the material conditions (poverty mostly) that made fascism appealing to millions of people need to be resolved. I don’t think democrats are willing to do this.

            I honestly don’t understand how either of those people are relevant to what I said and idk what you mean by “everything you’re saying about everyone else”. I wasn’t referring to any specific people or any actions those unspecified people are currently taking.

            My comment was regarding the current level of fascist power, the inadequacy of elections to eliminate them as a threat, the historical effectiveness of elections in regard to the nazis, and actions that could be effective at stopping fascism.

              Biden and Obama were democrats while Trump is a fascist.

              I can understand it being confusing if you’re wondering how it’s relevant to what you’re saying instead try reading what I’m saying and you’ll see how it fits.

                Are you genuinely implying that biden and obama not be fascists makes them inherently good and effective at stopping fascism? I read what you were saying and it didn’t make any sense to me so I asked and I think it’d be cool if you explained things instead of adding obstacles to communication

                    Sure but normally fascists seize power from liberals or have it handed to them so being liberals doesn’t make them an inherently effective obstacle to fascism. I feel you are being purposefully obtuse and will be disengaging.
