It's easy to laugh at the right-wingers, but the truth is that this is the way power is measured by the patriarchy - control over other people's bodies.
It doesn't matter if this power is obtained through the use of laws, money or physical violence (it's usually a combination of all three) - it's the power that matters, and the patriarchy doesn't care how it makes you look to the people you have that power over.
You are just politically incoherent, like people who call themselves "fiscally conservative and economically progressive" (or whatever claptrap so-called "centrists" tell themselves).
Liberalism fetishizes capitalism. If you're anti-capitalist, you have abandoned liberalism.
This is not complicated.
Next you'll be telling me you're an anarcho-fascist.
No, it's not true. The liberals never had the working class' backs.
Liberalism fetishizes capitalism, remember?
I don’t doubt Bernie Sanders though - he seems like a straight truth teller.
He's not consciously lying - Bernie, like all liberals, actually believes you can (somehow) represent both the interests of the working class while also representing the interests of the capitalist class that is parasitizing off their labor. As any leftist will tell you, this is pure delusion.
That's a rather silly thing to do - create an entire military-industrial complex to crush a mere "pipe dream." That is, unless you are suggesting that they know perfectly well that it's most definitely not a mere "pipe dream?"
Really? Is that why they've spent trillions throughout the last century on capitalist and fascist propaganda every year to convince you it's just a "pipe dream?"
It works on liberals because they pretend to be the "good" cop. Give something similar to Trump and you'll just be flattering him and his white supremacist base. They want genocide.
I don't know what is more disturbing - Trump winning, or you liberals, despite watching your undeserving holy cows betray you for the umpteenth time, somehow still refusing to acknowledge that fascism is a thing you might actually have to do something about.
