people always tell me to grow up and then end up coming to the same conclusions in adulthood that I did when I was 16
I’m starting to learn a lot of liberals could have skipped like 15 years of political development if they had just listened to punk music as a teenager like I did (also protesting the Iraq war)
mfs could have used a little Refused
Yup things continue to get significantly worse, and I’m told one of the same two things
1.) “I’m sure children who died in factories during the Industrial Revolution would agree with you”
2.) “Unfortunately that’s just how the world is. I was like you once”
I really don’t know how else to say it. Like I can acknowledge the fact that I’m privileged and want to use my privilege to try and do something about the flagrant injustices around, but that comment is usually left with a snide response as well.
I keep shouting from the fucking mountain tops that the only way to make change is to build solidarity in your local communities, but fucking DNC plants are dropped from the sky it seems telling people to invest that energy into calling their representatives and VOTING. Which has yet to do jack shit materially
And surprise surprise. The same ghoulish developers and builders keep coming in to gentrify everything in fucking sight, corporations start outsourcing factory jobs leaving hundreds unemployed, rent increases astronomically all while millions of people are fixated on an election that is effectively kayfab
When you think of it like this, the DNC is so so fucking evil. They have a robust network of organizations that they could theoretically use to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives. But of course they fucking don’t, too busy posting about how the latest ruling or whatever has made them sad.
They’re going to do such a
when trump 2.0 is elected and opine about “the state of our country” or some shit while completely ignoring their role in all of this.The children who died in factories in the 19th century did fucking agree with me we have the fucking letters and they think August Willich was a lib.
And Willich challenged Marx to a dual for not being radical enough, so that’s really saying something
Everyone ships Marx/Engles but no one reads the deep lore of 1848 and ships Engles/Willich
My inner lib wants you to know that two ships can be true at the same time.
3 actually. Marx started a slanderous rumour that Willich was gay (possibly he was bi, it’s hard to say) because he suspected he was making moves on Jenny.
Bring this shit back. Cornel West needs to fist fight Biden immediately
The finger on the monkey paw curls and we see Cornel West on stage with Joe Biden exchanging fist bumps as he endorses him as the real Bernie sanders progressive
choosing to read this as Joe endorsing Cornel
As his new vice-president candidate
I came to those same conclusions at 16, then briefly thought teenage me was just being edgy and idealist, then very quickly realized that teenage me was right and we should in fact [redacted] every fascist cop.
every fascist cop
But you repeat yourself
yeah for real. There were a few years when I faltered, thinking huh maybe they all are right. I have been more and more vindicated as time goes on however.
I remember going through history and reading about the fall of Rome, Greece, Persia, etc and thinking to myself "it sure looks like I’m living during the decline of the US empire… Listened to Punk and Ska, and asked how “Trickle down economics” would ever work when a public corporation’s sole reason for existing is to provide value for shareholders.
I also remember talking to my dad in the early 2000s about global warming and asking how any of it could ever change. He told me we’d have to vote for the right people.
Then Citizens United happened and put the nail in the coffin for all of it.
Seriously. I can’t help it that I’ve always been ahead of the curve. More of a them problem at that point.
literally yes
social-democracy is objectively the moderate wing of fascism
The key word is objectively. If you disagree, it’s not a difference of opinion. You’re just wrong
I mean, the guy who said that went on to ally with social democracies against real fascists. And whatever the theoretical merits, I see no evidence that calling 90%+ of the U.S. population fascists will do anything to advance any leftist cause. It certainly doesn’t help grow any sort of American left-wing movement.
It really is OK to say someone’s take is bad without calling them a fascist. Fascists should be shot; anyone who thinks everyone from AOC to the right needs to be shot is (in the parlance of our times) deeply unserious.
I mean, the guy who said that went on to ally with social democracies against real fascists.
social democracy is the moderate wing of fascism
moderate fascists are better than extreme fascists
no contradiction here
tldr
Lol yep it’s word-for-word Biden voter logic
Fascists should be shot; anyone who thinks everyone from AOC to the right needs to be shot is (in the parlance of our times) deeply unserious.
They clearly aid and abet fascism though. You’d be a fool not to see that they’re ultimately enemies of real social change and they must be deposed or else nothing good can come.
Do you want to be (arguably) correct on some theoretical point, or do you want people to listen to you? Because the vast majority of people will immediately tune out “AOC is a fascist.”
Clearly it’s more complex than that, and I don’t think I’d be upfront about that. I think, if you talked about how there’s a historical precedence for people like AOC coming into power on a wave of radicalism and just being the same old same old, and how it’s an unavoidable consequence of our system, people would be more willing to hear that. And it’s the same damn concept.
I get that most leftists won’t consciously lead with that hot of a take. But we have it all over this public forum that libs frequently wander into, so you can tell a lot of folks who’ll lead with “AOC is not a path to revolutionary change” will break out “social democracy is objectively the moderate wing of fascism” after about two beers. And I’d say those are two very different concepts.
Then when they push back we’ll give historical precedence and evidence. My experience with MLs was having them be clearly correct in a way that a lot of others weren’t and then they would say wack shit like “AOC is a fascist” but I’d stick around anyway and now I understand why it’s true. I think it’s generally good for us to always be honest
I mean, the guy who said that went on to ally with social democracies against real fascists.
You understood history wrong. The European powers wanted to use Nazi Germany, Poland and Japan to destroy the USSR. Many of them had signed military and economic cooperation agreements with Nazi Germany. The British literally just signed the Dusseldorf Agreement for the cooperation between British and German industries in March 1939, and the Munich Agreement before that with the British, France, Italy and Germany in 1938.
It was the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, engineered by the Soviet diplomatic team and supposedly without Hitler’s involvement, at the last minute that saved the day. It drove a wedge between Germany and Poland (who had just shared Czechoslovakia together), forcing Germany to invade Poland, and in turn forcing France and the Great Britain to declare war on Germany. The entire Japanese cabinet resigned over the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact and backed down from interfering with the Soviets. Like, why do you think the Japanese government would resign over a pact signed by two foreign countries?
The European “social democracies” wanted the Soviet Union dead. They wanted to destroy communism. They simply did not expect to be outplayed at the last minute when the Soviets managed to turn Nazi Germany against the Europeans themselves.
What further reading can I do regarding all this?
The European “social democracies” wanted the Soviet Union dead.
Agreed – and Stalin would go on to ally with those exact same countries.
Stalin was often foolish and would have done well listening to more of zhukovs wisdom.
We liberated Europe from fascism, but they will never forgive us for it
That isn’t the point; it’s that your rhetoric is self-defeating.
I see no evidence that calling 90%+ of the U.S. population fascists will do anything to advance any leftist cause. It certainly doesn’t help grow any sort of American left-wing movement.
Neither does allowing people to believe that fake shills like AOC represent any kind of actual leftist movement. At this point, this type of politician is an active hinderence to advancing any real left politics, with the exception of their actions and stances disillusioning people.
I don’t disagree. My point is we can get all that across without flattening it to “AOC is a fascist,” which sounds like crank shit to everyone who is not already a communist.
This is a communist forum
if you can’t quote Stalin here then where?If libs are checking this out then good. Hopefully they’ll learn something. If not then they’ll engage with something else until they’re ready. This really isn’t a space where we should be concerned with optics and what libs might think of they’re even looking to learn
Quote Stalin all you want, but his word isn’t gospel, especially when he himself later allied with nations that would (at best) fall under his “moderate wing of fascism” umbrella. The CPC’s line on Stalin is something like 70% good, 30% bad, so there’s plenty of room for disagreement.
I’m not overly concerned with optics on this site, but what we meme about here pops up elsewhere, and if we want people to agree with us we do have to put thought into how to present our ideas.
Once again you misquote “social fascist” as “fascist” despite being corrected on this very error in another conversation. You are here in bad faith. Social fascist is a specific thing.
Fascists shouldn’t be shot, they should be re-educated. Only those who engage in crimes should be shot. I explained this to you and you still regress back to your liberal baseline
Good faith is phrasing your side of a disagreement as “I corrected you”
It’s repeating the same objectively incorrect argument over and over, changing the definitions of terms to twist it into what you want. Social fascism is not just simply “fascism”. This is a fact that you ignore. All fascists don’t deserve to be shot, not even the most hardline Stalinists shot every single fascist - they re-educated them if possible
You refuse to use the accepted definition of social fascists among communists and instead jump to a different term. Even when you know you shouldn’t and have been corrected on this leap, you do it again and again because you are a Liberal incapable of processing new information
There’s such a thing as knowing your audience. If you want to get your message across you have to do it differently to different people. Stating that social democracy is objectively the moderate wing of fascism should only be done to an audience that already knows what fascism and social democracy is, such as here on this forum.
This doesn’t mean that it is not true though, it just means that if you were to say those exact words to a general audience they would believe you were some crank who thought AOC was itching to put on an armband and do the goose-step. A more general audience would be more perceptive to hearing about how the system corrupts even the most well-meaning individuals, how politicians all end up doing the same shit etc.
This is a public forum that’s federated with plenty of non-leftist instances, and that’s well known to even more non-leftist instances we aren’t federated with. We have occasional efforts to direct more people back here, including lifeboat comms for reddit communities. There are even more ties to the much larger reddit through shared users and the whole history of the CTH sub.
We’re not speaking to the most general of audiences, but there is a benefit to not looking like cranks. This isn’t even a particularly good hot take to cling to, as Stalin himself eventually allied with social democracies against fascists.
I wouldn’t be too worried about what the imagined liberals in the walls might think. There can’t be too many of them and bad faith actors will always be able to find something and take it out of context. And if you can’t speak freely as a communist on a communist niche forum where can you?
Stalin, unlike any of the morally pure western leftists, actually held power and had to defend it and he did so successfully. It’s not like aligning the USSR with “moderate” imperialist nations didn’t have it’s downsides but the alternative was to be overrun and slaughtered by the more radical fascists.
A pragmatic alliance made for lack of better alternatives doesn’t change the analysis of the nature of social democracy. They serve the same master as the fascists. Where the social democrats wants to preserve capitalism by bribing a select labour aristocracy into complementary the fascists use more direct violence but ultimately they will both tend to side with capital if it’s rule is threatened.
Not my fault you’re objectively wrong, chief
I made the mistake of arguing with them, when this is, objectively, the best response
It’s completely objective!
Should and Would are diffrent. It would fix a good part of the world’s problems.
I always said it, but I never understood it till I watched Bernie’s stance on Gaza in real time.
“The mask of humanity fall from capital. It has to take it off to kill everyone — everything you love; all the hope and tenderness in the world. It has to take it off, just for one second. To do the deed. And then you see it. As it strangles and beats your friends to death… the sweetest, most courageous people in the world. You see the fear and power in its eyes. Then you know.”
" What?"
“That the bourgeois are not human.”
many people are saying this folks. The succdems - that’s what i call them, i call them succdems- they’re very nasty people.
I feel incredibly sad and depressed and disillusioned with Bernie, AOC and everyone else. Fuck them all. They will sell the rest of the world to the devil for a promise of some progress on the domestic front that’ll get broken anyways. And they know it’ll be broken! They know it! So why not stand in solidarity?! Why make the deal at all?
I’m just done.
Especially Bernie, fucker has been in the game long enough to know better, at least AOC I could understand early on and blame it on her being naive but she’s just angling to be another career dem politician like the rest of them.
It’s because he understands the game, that he has been able to keep his successful political position for so long, I’m sure AOC wants a long mainstream political career like Sanders. I always like to compare Sanders to Corbyn, they destroyed Corbyn’s political career, and we all know the big difference between Corbyn and Sanders.
we all know the big difference between Corbyn and Sanders.
Length?
she’s just angling to be another career dem politician like the rest of them.
Her 6 months as a bartender was stolen valor. She’s no different than Mayo Pete doing his photo op tour in Afghanistan, except she’s way better at politics than him
They are politicians in the Democratic Party. Expecting more from them is just setting yourself up for disappointment
socdems are fascists
AOC is literally just doing what the unions want her to
stop,stop! they’re already dead!Do you disagree?
Rank and file
Not to discredit those based 17 year olds but 9/10 you can bet on a yankee being a fascist and end up correct, it’s on them to prove otherwise.
Self crit, love to see it
I do in fact have to hand it to him: if more libs could admit when they were wrong like this, they might not be libs for long, and we wouldn’t have to keep clowning on them.
They will say shit like this and upvote Lenin memes and then denounce Hamas and vote for Social Democrats

You are 100% right and i agree with you. When i read the tweet, i mostly felt positive about a lib getting properly disillusioned and admitting it simce that’s a beautiful fitst step to getting to the other side of western propoganda.
At the same time, i feel what comrade bazingabrain is saying in my bones lol. Its frustrating living in the west and being ML, as you acknowledge. I think its pretty fair to blow off some of thst steam here. But you’re right, we can’t just hate all the average people, who hage no power, around us, just for our own sanity if no other reason
Yeah, also a good comment, I was just incredibly tired and frustrated
Totally understandable

Maybe AOC doesn’t mind that Gaza getting flattened.
Maybe she reads settler the same way as Janet yellen reads Das kapital
Maybe she knows that Biden losing would only result in worse deviation for Gaza.
“You have no real choice in US but to vote for genocide”
yes, thank you for this searing critique of electoralism that everyone here is already aware of
The two aren’t equal. In our two party system, a vote for Biden is a vote against Trump. Sometimes the best option you have on a ballot is harm reduction, you can’t expect voting to fix everything. We need to organize outside electorialism, but voting is still an essential task in slowing down fascism.
In our two party system, a vote for Biden is a vote against Trump.
Sounds like a totally dogshit system we shouldn’t lend credibility to if the only choices are unlimited genocide or allegedly slightly more genocide
Fascism is here. You live in a fascist country under fascism. Enjoy exercising your right to rubber stamp genocide
“I, John Brown, am now quite certain, that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away, but with blood.”
Notice how the greatest American of all time wasn’t going around pleading for votes. Justice doesn’t come from a ballot box.
Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun
Ok I’m voting for Biden by not voting for Trump
Opps, you did a fascism.
A vote for 98% Hitler is a vote against 100% Hitler
You can’t “slow down fascism” by voting, fascism arrives on its own timeline based on the falling rate of profit. The capitalists don’t care who is in charge, they own both parties - when the time comes that fascism is necessary to beat down the workers and keep up profits, it will spring up like a flame regardless of whether the drapes in the White House are blue or red.
Really Adolf Hitler wasnt that bad when you compare him to 125% Hitler. Regular 100% Hitler is the only sensible choice when 125% Hitler is on the ballot
you can’t expect voting to fix everything.

We sure harm reduced the fuck out of abortion rights, didn’t we?
If Trump was in office at least there’d be one side of the aisle openly denouncing this genocide right now but they’re not at the moment because it’s not politically convenient for them. That tells me all I need to know about the Democratic party. All of their values are conditional and paper thin. Behind the rhetoric they really stand for all the same stuff the Republicans do.

We’ve had the largest investment in renewable energy in our nations history, investment in infrastructure, a reduction in inflation, economic growth for the bottom 20%. His administration has protected access to contraceptives and abortion medications, expanded protections for trans people, and improved the immigration process.
If you think foreign policy was better under trump you’re delusional. Perfect is the enemy of good, we don’t need to love Biden to understand how keeping trump out of power protects millions of vulnerable people.
“Investment in renewable energy” is meaningless. What that means is private companies get tax break and investment incentives. And that means people making startups, getting government funding for the initial investment, and then pocketing the money through the extraction of surplus value from its workers. You start a business for free, pay less in taxes, and that’s it. A business that sells solar panels, a business that’s trying to make carbon capture profitable (read: it’s not), a business painting rooftops white. These are all ultimately meaningless things that don’t do anything to address the problem of climate change. The solution is to string up oil executives on the National Mall and nationalize the industry. Then to stop pulling the shit out of the ground.
Investment in infrastructure basically goes the same way. Incentivize people starting construction companies, get contracts with DOT, hire immigrants and undocumented workers, extract their surplus value while painting crumbling bridges and asphalting roads in rich neighborhoods.
The reduction in inflation was The Fed which is largely separated from The Executive unless republicans are in the white house. They actually know how to put pressure on people. If Trump was still there, we would see a reduction in the acceleration of inflation as well. Please note that inflation has not actually been reduced, the rate at which inflation grows has come down.
There has been no growth for the bottom 20%. They simply stopped measuring most of those people and the rest have either died of covid or been pulled up on the spreadsheets by the wealthy getting wealthier.
His administration just gave up on abortion because they want moderate Republicans instead of radical feminists. And they haven’t protected shit. Republicans will take away contraceptives if they want. Leaving it up to the states is a cop-out.
He sure as shit hasn’t improved the immigration process.
Biden has kill millions of vulnerable people. We’re not talking about being perfect. We’re talking about failing to do even the most minute tiny bit of anything about these problems outside of “let private companies do it” and “states rights.”
If you think Biden is holding back fascism you’re a fucking moron.
GOOD post
Reminder that the nubers for 2022 from BloombergNEF have China spending ($546 billion) nearly 4x as much as the USA on green energy investment.
huh, I guess building the wall & detaining and rejecting asylum seekers against international law counts as “immigration improvement” for liberals.
Literally just whatever Biden is doing is good.
Kind of how he’s like the most pro environment of all time and if you point out he opened up oil drilling to the point were producing more oil than any country ever younget a lecture about how he had to do that and it doesn’t change the fact he’s super good on the environment.
Kindnof like how he’s the most pro labor president that literally took executive action to kill a strike.
Our most environmental president since Nixon
fucking Tricky-Dick Nixon was more liberal than every president I’ve ever lived through
Liberals love to say this buy Nixon started the clean air and clean water acts because several American rivers were frequently catching on fire because they were so full of chemicals.
He wasn’t trying to protect the environment he was trying to stop disgruntled cleavlanders from fire bombing his home.
Perfect is the enemy of good
What is the acceptable number of Palestinian children for Israel to murder? 100k? 500k? 1m? Do you have any shame at all in going out of your way to defend ethnic cleansing???
I second this. Give me the number. How many dead Palestinians is good enough for you liberal fucks? Count the corpses and then tell me that wanting this to stop is “perfect” and not just basic humanity.

Trump assassinated Soleimani and moved the embassy to Jerusalem; he’s said he’d reject humanitarian pauses and increase hostilities with Iran. I agree Biden should work to cut funding to Israel, but at least he’s been pushing for water access and electricity for Gaza, for medical care and humanitarian corridors; as bad as it is now, trump would make it staggeringly worse.
at least he’s been pushing for water access and electricity for Gaza, for medical care and humanitarian corridors
I want to make this crystal clear: NO HE HASN’T
Every word he’s ever said on the matter in public is a lie, he has given the Israelis EVERYTHING they’ve asked for unconditionally, while making occasional polite requests that they can completely ignore with no consequences. He is an absolutely committed Zionist and his preferred solution is for the Palestinians to leave or die. Literally the only further thing Trump could do is officially send in the US military to do ethnic cleansing in Gaza, rather than just doing it unofficially as Biden has.
Honestly getting US troops on the ground might end the genocide fastest. I feel like a few quality vids of🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻on US soldiers might turn chuds against Israel.
I mean probably not but I’m an optimist.
If people like this saw ACTUAL political pressure exerted for a good cause, they’d dismiss it as “aUtHoRiTaRiAnIsM” or some bullshit. It seems like they think any actual political power being wielded is only valid if it stymies progress
but at least he’s been pushing for water access and electricity for Gaza
No the fuck he hasn’t. Using what as leverage? Don’t you know lip service when you see it? Biden is the biggest zionist ideologue in the entire party. Watch his floor speeches back when he was bald. He’s more bloodthirsty than 3/4 of Likud.
I’m not saying Trump is better, but the only difference you’d see is what flag gets painted on the American made and American paid for bomb.
at least he’s been pushing for water access and electricity for Gaza, for medical care and humanitarian corridors; as bad as it is now, trump would make it staggeringly worse.

Those are just words with no meaning. The reality of the matter is that there are lawsuits being prepared against the US and UK for being complicit in the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. Biden’s administration is complicit in genocide.
Biden wanted the embassy moved for DECADES. And how are you stupid enough to think Biden is doing anything to even “push” for water and electricity in Gaza? He is pushing through more arms to the fucking Israelis. Stop being coy you genocider
humanitarian corridors
“Rest assured, we are working hand-in-hand with the German Reich to create humanitarian corridors for the safe and secure passage of Jews and other, uh, ‘particular groups’ to Eastern Europe.”
he’s been pushing for water access and electricity for Gaza
that and going around congress to give Israel money to destroy whatever infrastructure Gaza has left.
we’re not going to do a damn thing other than protect Israel in the process. Not a single thing.
- Biden when asked if there would be any conditions on support for Isreal
Until one of you fucking liberals can explain to me what is worse than “unlimited unconditional support” you can stop trying to make this argument
The only difference is of a republican was president every elected Democrat would have a Palestinian flag in their profile, when it’s a Democrat you just get the president saying anybody who says they support Palestine is actually just a Trump supporter (literally in the last 24 hours)
This is already the worst devastation in the history of Gaza, not being able to criticize that means she’s a careerist hack that is just waiting for her marching orders. The new Pelosi
Didn’t you hear Trump’s going to nuke Gaza instead of doing what Biden is currently doing, which is bypassing Congress to give Israel weapons while openly calling every protestor a MAGA idiot
do you even convince yourself with this warmed-over bullshit?
deleted by creator
It would be the exact same, the democrats dont have a real political project thats why theres no serious pushback on anything real. Someone else telling them no and accepting that is the true metric of their political agenda not what they say can do.
Right, Trump would probably bypass Congress to send aid to Israel, continue to veto UN resolutions demanding a ceasefire, call peace protestors names, and actually be sued by advocacy groups openly accusing him of genocide.
Oh wait.
Your guy’s a fucking loser who should be strung up too.
There is a genocide going on in Gaza right now, tens of thousands of women and children have been killed by American made bombs that Biden has supplied to Israel by bypassing congressional approval. The Biden administration is complicit in genocide.
You do realize if we keep following this logic forever the DNC basically loses any incentive to improve at all, as long as they remain even slightly better than the GOP they will keep winning. So at what point do we say “enough is enough” and draw a line where we won’t support them even if the other option is worse? Does that line not exist? If it doesn’t does that mean we’re trapped in this cycle forever? What’s the long term plan here? Trump isn’t going to turn into dust if he loses this election, even if he did his supporters would just find a new cult leader, so are we are just eternally supporting awful liberals forever to keep the super awful republicans out of power?
