"The People's Representative" ... I think we are starting to see a major shift of the working class towards the GOP. To them Socialist = Woke, and those "Marxist CEOs" need to be run our of town and replaced with the "Independent Capitalist People's Army."

It's almost as if there was another period of history, I. Other countries, where a far right group started using socialist talking points and blaming 'the other' to rise to power, just to rip away all labor unions, public services and education, and dump all the budget into the military.

Just as a fun note, Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, The PRC, Venezuela, Pinchochet's Chile.... ALL banned labor unions, ALL of them eliminated opposition parties... ALL of them ruled/rule through terror and fervent nationalism.

Most people in this state don't even know about the Everett Massacre or the Technocracy movement. They just have strong opinions about the culture war.

I mean...everything they said was true. I'm not real sure what you think you're saying to people with that comment, but I don't believe you're accomplishing it.

Not really, they've made notable historical errors and mischaracterizations showing a underdeveloped understanding of fascism. I didn't want to say anything additionally because I see this type of comment daily.

What does that even mean? Are you a bot?

I'm saying that Republicans voters are goddam sheep that think they are revolutionaries but really just crave to live under an authoritarian autocrat.

Dems are weak on most issues and are losing ground because they don't want to cut on education to pay for mass incarceration of the hundreds of thousands of drug addicts.

The GOP will get their way, and the Hegelian dialect tells us that eventually we get the American Night of the Long Knives, and neighborhood purges. It'll probably happen in the next five to ten years after the monetary system collapses.

The American Left doesn't really exist. It's dead and will be a other generation or more until it resurfaces. I think we'll probably get Ecofascism instead though.

It means your general grasp of general themes is reasonable but the historical particulars are lacking and therefore you will miss how much more insidious and quiet the fall further into fascism will be in America.

Oh I get it. Voter suppression and election engineering is already in full swing in the southern states. Dems will never win again in states with a Republican Secretary of State.

Stop with the catch phrases if you want to have a serious conversation, it comes off as pseudo intellectual. Both sides have valid criticism like always.
