Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
The left is weak and the fascists still claim the left runs the media etc. it's crazy
because to fascists, neoliberals are "the left." To fascists, the neoliberals are a cabal of "globalists" eroding national interests, the family unit, the traditional culture, religion, etc. Because whatever Capitalism as a system does, fascists attribute to "the left."
Marx said:
The fascists see "the left" as responsible for this because capitalist neoliberals are "the left" from their twisted perspective. Fascists often posture as anti-capitalist on this basis.
Mussolini said in his last testament:
So fascists often see themselves as the "true champions of the working class". Obviously they aren't, but that doesn't stop them from seeing themselves that way. You see it with Trump ranting about the "forgotten man and woman" of the "flyover states."
In 1847, long before fascism ever existed as a named doctrine, Engels described "reactionary socialists" in his work "Principles of Communism":
Excellent post
