MODERATORS
Even if we DO vote, we still get Republicans. They just wear a different color and use a different letter.
That’s just what a Republican would say to potential Democratic voters 🤔
No, that's what a leftist would say who recognizes that there can be no progress for the working class by continuing to enable the capitalist elite.
Yes, and we need a revolution if we can't effect change from within the current system.
BUT THE FUCKING POINT is that WHILE THE SYSTEM STILL EXISTS, NOT SUPPORTING THE DEMS ENDS UP SUPPORTING FASCISM.
Supporting either is a support of fascism, as the Democrats, being a neoliberalist party, fundamentally enable fascism. This bullshit didn't just spring up overnight, it was the result of generations of political fuckery by the owning class to slowly and methodically consolidate power while keeping the working class pacified with bread and circuses.
Your simple, fallacy logic doesn't fly. Real change doesn't come from a ballot box.
Fascism - a far-right, authoritarian ultranationalist political ideology that emerged in early 20th-century Europe, characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and subordination of individual interests to the state. It promotes national rebirth, militarism, and often racial superiority.
Can you explain to me how you think the Democrat party is fascist? Because in this definition of fascism, the only one I can stretch to make work is "militarism", but then A LOT of countries would be falling under the fascist label.
Republicans, on the other hand, check all of these boxes.
The Democrat party is flawed and weak. They are not fascist. Learn to use words properly based on their definitions.
One is fascism. The other enables fascism through systemic means. Thus, support for either is supporting fascism.
Go read theory. You'll learn a thing or two. Malatesta has good works on this subject.
Can you, using the defnition of fascism, describe how Democrats enable fascism?
Can you go read theory to gain an understanding of complex systemic forces? I'm not going to sit here and explain textbooks worth of information about the inner workings of political systems to you.
So you're acknowledging that you don't have a firm enough grasp on the point you're trying to make to explain to me how Democrats enable fascism and are instead suggesting I read entire textbooks to understand how Democrats enable fascism because you can't?
So you're wasting my time with nonsense?
Thanks.
