This is a liberal pitfall: attempting to explain fascism rising because of identity politics.

What’s your point?

Palestinians in Gaza are not allowed to freely travel to the West Bank.

You’re making a lot of claims about what’s going on in Gaza and making huge, sweeping statements that attempt to correlate Palestinians’ experience with others in history. I recommend you read about what is actually going on in Gaza before continuing. You seem ignorant about some of their most basic and fundamental struggles.

“Give us the land you’re sitting on, or die. I don’t care where you go”

If the Israelis truly didn’t care where the Palestinians went, they wouldn’t be confining them to a 25-mile long open air prison. Extermination is the goal.

Are you sure you aren’t describing America’s education system?

Incinerating the planet in the name of profit is a very recent concept.

If you want to play with AI slop, maybe log off lemmy and start doing this on your own… Not a single source cited.

Could I leave my job at the factory to go to university?

Yes… as is evidenced by an entirely free education program.

If you’re making the claim that “factory workers of the USSR had no freedom to go to college”, then supply some evidence please. Stop beating around the bush.

Higher education was free in the USSR as stipulated by its constitution.

By worshipping the musings of the 20 something, slaveowning, landowning, white men who set out to create a nation built on the wholesale genocide of Native Americans.

By continuously degrading wages, prohibiting public transport, withholding healthcare, perpetual wars, diminished education, disenfranchising voters, and the bipartisan effort to concentrate power to the executive? Fascism is not a new phenomenon. The reasons for its proliferation are well-documented, and even as leftists have accurately pointed these out, they’ve been laughed away by liberals. The liberal framework cannot explain how fascism takes rise.

Ruzzian propaganda!

How’s that 100 years of “voting for the lesser evil” treating you?

George Orwell was a snitch who ratted on communists to UK intelligence.

Some estimates say there are as many as 12 vacant homes per homeless person this country in the United States.

Edit: millionaire in OP is from Canada

Naive as hell. Yall are a joke. Way to avoid any of my questions.

Yall are the type who’d be ridiculing a 1940s German Jew for not voting liberal. This is why leftists accurately point out that liberals will side with fascism when things get rough.

If, in 30 years, when the choice is between a democrat who wants 20 genocides and a republican who wants 21, will you still be voting blue? This is why people call you blue maga. There is no red line. You all will sacrifice however many Palestinians or Ukrainians it takes to bide time till the next election cycle when the Democratic party is definitely going to have a liberal Renaissance led by AOC and Bernie, and fascism will be defeated and we can all dance for joy. Never mind the lives of tens of thousands of Palestinian children it took to get you there.

Do you think Germans in mid 1930’s Germany had a duty to vote liberal despite democracy having already been thrown out the window? As people were getting sent to death camps and there was zero hope of fair and free elections, did Germans have a duty to vote blue? Or did they have a duty to start getting organized with vulnerable groups, learning sabotage, and getting armed?

Your “pragmatic” utilitarianism has resulted in a genocide and an incinerated planet. Your empire is over and devolving into fascism, and it’s time you start realizing that.

In democracy, politicans represent constituents. Biden and Kamala ignored constituents. Biden and Kamala lost. This is how democracy works. This outcome was more American than apple pie.

Soooo, was there “standing” to weaponize ICE and start deporting US citizens? Was there standing to weaponize the DOJ? Was there standing to cut funding for NPR and PBS? Was there standing to pardon all the Jan 6 rioters? Was there standing to cut all government programs via DOGE? I could go on and on.

Taking the stance of “well, Trump won’t be able to do this because it is illegal” is naive as hell given what we’ve seen in the past 100 days.

This utterly blind faith that the liberal institutions will somehow halt Trumpian fascism is exactly the same blunder as was made by liberals in early 30s Germany during Hitler’s meteoric rise.

Take a step back and realize the American political experiment is over. Given how it’s gone genocidal and incinerated the planet, we have a duty to dismantle it from within.

“American genocide is a forgone conclusion, so I will give full support to the genocidal regime whether the color is red or blue”

This is why people call you blue maga. There is no red line. There is no amount of evil that would make you all start to consider the legitimacy of the US empire. You all will sacrifice however many Palestinian kids it takes to bide time till the next election cycle. All under the guise of pragmatic utilitarianism.

You say “perfection”. What I think you meant to say was “principled anti capitalism”.

I’m not asking for perfection. I’m asking for literally any semblance of solidarity or anticapitalism.

Regardless, until a truly anti capitalist party gains power, the devolution into fascism will continue.

In 30 years, when the choice is between a dem who wants 15 genocides and a Republican who wants 16, yall will still be bleating this tired ass “perfection as an enemy of good” motto. Think of a new one, please. Or even try to start defining what your idea of “perfection” actually is.

This is blind faith.

Many of his wishes have come true in recent months. What makes you think this is impossible?

It is from this standpoint that the World Socialist Web Site has exposed the fraudulent “Fighting Oligarchy” campaign mounted by Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The large turnouts at their rallies, as well as the huge participation in the April 5 and April 19 protests against the Trump administration, express the social anger among millions of working people and their desire to fight back. But Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez never indict capitalism as a system or call for a struggle against it. And they supported and hailed the Biden administration even as it was presiding over the greatest-ever accumulation of wealth on the part of the financial aristocracy.

For all their fulminations against the oligarchy, they carefully avoid advancing any demand that would deprive the billionaires of their ill-gotten riches. They pretend that society can be changed without a drastic redistribution of wealth, which requires the expropriation of the billionaires.

So, despite its ability to “easily” be amended, it still enshrines the right to enslave people? How is that supposed to make me feel better?

Stop apologizing for your wack ass constitution that was made solely by 20 something, white, male landowners. We are seeing now how easy it is to throw it out. Weak ass document.
