leftist infighting
(lemmy.blahaj.zone)
(this is a sarcastic post meant to highlight the absurdity of some of the “greater good” rhetoric we’ve been hearing, especially around leaving vulnerable populations like disabled people behind in case of revolution, basically accelerationism)
Infighting amongst leftist has literally existed as long as leftist ideology itself has existed. You can't learn the history of the left without reading about dozens of examples.
And that's why fascism seems to win. Seems like they can compromise as long as the people the don't like suffer
It's less that they can compromise and more that the only policy that they care about is policy that hurts minorities. They'd happily jump on a grenade or march into an oven so long as they can take a liberal and an immigrant with them.
On the other hand, look at how much effort it's taken for the fascists to get power again. The groundwork for the current administration was started under Reagan and solidified under Bush Jr. They had to take every branch of the government by force to get to where they are because there just aren't enough of their supporters to actually get them into office without bending the rules until they break.
