Neoliberals clearly view him as a fascist. I don't acutally think this is the case at all, and we are really just witnessing increaingly antagonistic contradictions unfold within the bourgeoisie. Regardless, Libs clearly view him this way, and we should take note.
To liberals we are identical to fascists and we will be treated in exactly the same way as he has been by the media, big tech, the liberal establishment etc.
My origininal take on Trump was to reluctantly prefer him over Clinton since it was pretty clear she was a threat to multilaterialism etc. Trump might be a bastard, but I've never seen him laugh about anyone being sodomized with a saber, and he had an anti interventionist stance in general. His scaling up of the drone program was hard to bare, but there is no clear reason to think fewer people would have died under a Clinton presidency.
I feel like there is chaos under heaven and its really hard to predict what will come next, so I am just telling everyone I know to read theory and organize over and over and over every chance I get with mixed results (ok, not that mixed, mostly everyone just ignores me.)
To see Gadaffi die in such a way broke my heart and I knew Trump was the lesser evil to Clinton back in 2016 when I saw her cackling laughter at such a lynching
Here was a man that had fought his entire life for his country and funded and armed national liberation movements the world over.
Who raised his population to the highest living standards on the African continent whilst planning on using Libyan gold to fund a pan-African currency which would lift the poorest people on the planet into a formidable political block which would've ensured that Africans now "stood up"
And to see how the so-called Leftists responded to this NATO campaign was very disappointing.
This piece is a hilarious read to go back to if the actual events weren't so sad

Yes comrade, with no organisation we can achieve nothing. It is important to organise now.
I feel a lot of problems could be solved in the Left movement generally if they took seriously the study of Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin. They were incredible thinkers the like the world has never seen before or since.
To gain a firmer grasp of anti-imperialism for instance it would be wonderful if more on the Left could take the time to study the two following works by Lenin
The Right of Nations to Self-Determination
Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism
Or Chapter 2 of this Stalin piece which details what a socialist country will likely go through when they're encircled by capitalist nations
Good suggestions, but I am pretty familiar with the concept.
