  • Why are so many Pro-Palestine (I am pro-Palestine and anti-genocide) Americans refusing to vote for Harris due to her stance on Israel?

  • You're more likely to get a socialist revolution than democrats and Republicans getting rid of FPTP at a significant enough level to matter.

    What do you think would happen to the Democratic Party if Harris loses? (serious)

  • In the end, a populist agenda like he’s running,

    Trump just straight up isn't a populist? Fascists are pseudo-populists at best. They don't actually care about democracy or what the majority want, just like liberals (using marxist definition of liberal)

  • I mean we have two parties fundamentally representing similar donor interests, they swap controlled opposition roles which is more convincing than one party constantly being controlled opposition.

    The US, and bourgeois democracies in general, have less political variation than one party socialist democracies. In China you have everyone from liberals (right wingers) to Maoists in government. In the US you basically only have liberals and scratched liberals.

  • My personal belief is that is he’s elected, our contry is on course for a soviet style breakup.

    What do you mean by this? We already have austerity politics, and there isn't a foreign superpower in control of most of our media apparatus.

  • I’m less worried about that, not because there aren’t evil people among the Democrats, but because the Democrats are positioning themselves as the anti-fascist party at the moment. Starting up a fascist movement of their own at the moment would be bad business.

    Their rhetoric sure is, but if you look at their actual policies they're continuing and escalating some of the worst things Trump did. Migrant concentration camps, massive police funding increases, worsening security and surveillance laws, the whole nine yards.

    Also, fascism is the reassertion of the dominance of financial capital over the system and the democrats take money from the banks just as much as the Republicans.

  • I'm more worried about democrats having triangulated into fascism in the medium term tbh. Like competent diet fascism vs incompetent blood and soil fascism

  • That is what I try to communicate to folks who are freaking out about Trump. You have to worry about the next guy, and the next guy, and the next guy. You can't just keep voting Democrat, you actually have to get organized if you want to stop fascism, because Trump isn't the font that fascism springs from, he is an inept conman who is riding the wave.

  • think that is an absolutely absurd rule that can only stand to benefit the far-right.

    Lol no you can still call fascists fascists. We are just asking you to use more accurate language.

  • Just as a heads up, we don't like horseshoe theory here, which "authoritarian" falls under. Please refrain from horseshoe theory posting.

    Also, factually, China isn't a dictatorship. They follow a proletarian democratic model that is significantly distinct from bourgeois democratic models.

  • If there is one thing this Genocide on its way to Holocaust has shown us. is that the Democrat Party leadership are without a doubt sociopaths of the worst kind

    Nah, they're normal people well adjusted to an evil system. The trial of the nazis showed that it wasn't mental illness, just normal people doing very evil things.
