    Awesome quote!

    Also, the first chapter of "Blackshirts and Reds", from Parenti, expands on this subject.

      Who is running the border camps and the global war machine these days anyway? Couldn't be liberals. After all, they believe in liberty!

      How are the children trump put in cages doing on america's border? Oh still there? Huh that's weird.

      How about the population of Palestine american bombs are currently genociding?

      Abortion? Dems doing anything federally about that? No? Weird.

      What about the trans genocide legislation happening inside half of america? Anything federally to stop it? No?

      Weird. It's like liberals only half heartedly oppose fascism.... But oppose communism full throatedly? Weird weird weird how that is.

      It’s the Liberals doing the “no u are the actual red fascists” in the first place, communists are just setting the confusion of the incoherent hypocritical liberal straight

      Fascists and liberals, eternal allies literally the same people

      Now, you've just got jumped on a lot, but from your post history you're clearly not a throwaway troll account, and if you're an ex-Jehovah's Witness (my sympathies by the way) then you've already broken out of one all-pervading worldview so I believe you can break out of another, that of liberal capitalist realism. If you have the slightest interest in trying then I implore you to read even just some of this book, Blackshirts and Reds: Rational Fascism and the Overthrow of Communism by Michael Parenti. It's an excellent starting point for understanding what fascism really is, especially in relation to communism and 'liberal' capitalism.

      You should do some soul-searching to rid yourself of your internalized fascist elements
