Y’all do realize that communism is fascism with extra steps, right?
It must rule being a liberal. Just being able to say whatever, talk out your ass like you’re an expert on a subject you don’t even understand, be completely submerged in the capitalist cultural ooze and somehow think people who disagree with you don’t know shit.
I long for a world where I can be as blissfully ignorant as a communist as you can be currently as a liberal.Liberal democracies use actual slave labour - and I’m not going to waste my time trying to explain imperialism to you, because I know there’s a whole other thing we’d have to educate you on first.
The USSR had a lower recidivism rate, lower death rate and higher QoL for inmates in the gulag system from 1952 onwards than the US has in its current system to this day.
We are infinitely more surveilled than any communist scare-story. You only don’t notice political repression because you stay within what is acceptable. We coup, cheat elections, kidnap and kill to our hearts desire in the west - and not just brown people! We have black sites where police can take you, we have bullshit charges and violent cops.But despite liberal democracy creating a violent all-surveilleing repressive police state dedicated to extracting wealth from the poor and giving it to the rich, it is somehow communism that is fascism. I assume this is because of “authoritarianism”? The idea that a state exerting power is bad in and of itself, no matter on behalf of whom and to what end said power is used, is fucking ridiculous. Cooked up by Hannah Arendt - an actual antisemite - in order to make Hitler an equal to Stalin. The concept is meaningless, any definition is either so broad as to encompass all states or so narrow as to just mean “enemy of the US”
You should read Blackshirts and Reds, it deals with the many differences between the two.

No? Communism is a movement towards abolishing class society, via collectivizing production and distribution. Fascism is a violent reaction to capitalist decay, employed to retain bourgeois property ownership and break up labor organizing. They are diametric opposites, which is why they have historically bitterly hated each other.
but why then has the bird the symbol of a fascist regime, and not, say, the silhouette of Karl?
The hammer and sickle is the sign of the communist movement. I assume you mean to insinuate that the USSR was somehow fascist, but I must be misunderstanding you, nobody would be that ridiculously wrong on the internet. The USSR saved the world from fascism despite the best efforts from the capitalists in the west.
Trying to zero in on where your head is at.
Are you saying that any symbol that features intersecting lines is a fascist symbol or something?
The bird has the hammer and sickle, the symbol of the joint partnership of the industrial proletariat and the agrarian peasantry, the symbol of Marxism-Leninism. The hammer and sickle was created in the RSFSR, the first socialist state in history. Using any one person as symbol for the working class movement, and not symbols of the working classes themselves, is akin to liberal Great Man Theory.
Removing the author/artwork name at the bottom right is trashy.
including the author would also be wrong, as the original author did have some completely different text… would not know how to handle without a multi-line disclaimer. still i agree with your critique some how.
If no license is indicated in an artwork/software the implied license (it is not required the indicate a license) is “All rights reserved”. This post counts as a derivative work, the author have the right to allow/disallow it.
Outside of legal wording, when making a derivative work it’s nice to at least give attribution to the original artist or citing the source of the original work.
“Oh no by moving left we mean we’re going to very strongly condemn ice but then also condemn anyone principled enough to take a real stance” - Average shitlib
No reason to descend to “extremism” maybe quieter and less publicized genocide?
Look, if Kamala was in charge this wouldn’t be happening, because you wouldn’t see it in the media so you wouldn’t care, and that’s what we mean by going to the left. Also some of the guards in our camps will be queer!
We were okay with genocide in other countries, and in our own when we do it but this is too far!
A reminder that you can join orgs like PSL, the two-party system is designed to prevent change and we can break it.
They mean left of Hitler, barely. C’mon what more could you ask for really
gotta think strategically. it’s not the time to be leftist right now. we just gotta wait until elections and put kamala hamala in power.
then we rest assured fascism doesn’t exist anymore as long as you keep voting for whoever you think is not fascist. but for now just give everything they want so they don’t get angry.
Shumer is just as bad for working with them. He’s an enabler. No quarter.
