This capitalism leads to fascism just isn’t true. We can look at what happened to Tito’s Yugoslavia or the Soviet Union or how most of former east Germany is now for the AFD or how the Soviet Union was aligned with Nazi Germany or the current state of North Korea that’s been ruled by one family its entire existence.

It’s just a concentration camp. But this was unironically the belief of the KPD (Kommunistische Partei Deutschlands (Communist party of Germany) in Weimar Germany. “Nach Hitler kommen wir” or “After Hitler, our turn”

Yep. Called the Moscow Line. They also referenced to social democrats as social fascists and constantly undermined the SPD. Thalmann deservedly reaped what he sowed imo.

I think it’s more accurate to claim that capitalism isn’t the only system that, at its extreme, may lead to totalitarianism. Take the USSR, North Korea, and so forth as examples.

Is the equivocation of language intentional, or are you actually ignorant to it? No one cheered on a genocide. Literally everyone, except maybe maga, agrees that Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank are being killed in large numbers and that it’s wrong. Liberals just disagree with tankies that the intent is to eradicate ethnic Palestinians. Largely because the population of ethnic Palestinians living with citizenship in Israel is nearly double the population of black and African Americans

living in the U.S. It creates a cognitive dissonance when you called it genocide while they hold seats in the Israeli parliament. It’s similar to saying two guys who lost their family in a fire are the same when one fell a sleep with a candle still lit in the house while the other tied everyone up, poured gas on them, and lit the match. The outcome for both may be equal at the end in that both families were killed in a house fire, but the process is dramatically different.

As unfair that it was that Kamala was picked at the last minute instead of winning primaries it was either her or Trump. Her position on Gaza was much less than ideal but it would’ve been easier to work with her than with Trump. That was not the time to dig your heels in and demand perfection. You better be voting for pro-Palestine candidates the primaries(for midterms and general elections) or else I don’t wanna hear anything from you if you still have to pick the lesser of two evils later

It’s intentional. They prefer MAGA when there’s not a Dem Soc as an option. They’re afraid that a liberal will improve people’s QoL and increase the standard of living too much at to prevent citizens from murdering their friends and family in the Revolution.

He canceled $188.8 BILLION in student debt with razor thin congressional margins and a hostile Supreme Court. It’s like you think anything less than ripping up the constitution and being a tankie dictator is unacceptable. You completely lack any understanding of civics or how political capital is used and leveraged.

The student loan debt forgiveness is a bad example because it would’ve held more weight had it not been heavily contested by, you guessed it, republicans.

Not to mention the BIL and IRA that had massive investments in transportation, infrastructure, clean energy, domestic manufacturing, healthcare reform, and helped curb runaway inflation. Or preventing medical debt from negatively affecting credit scores. Or banking reforms that dramatically curbed predatory fees and lending practices. Most of these being completely undermined because Trump got back into office.

I don’t disagree that more could’ve been done to safeguard all of these changes (even though this would’ve been a lot easier if Congress was not as narrowly split as it was during Biden’s term), but you know how we could’ve kept all of those changes and made them stronger in the future? Right, by keeping trump out of office. Which clearly you had no problem with
