    What a stupid person. There is a fascist in the White House and he’s a conservative. It’s all to do with fear. Specifically fear or freedom your own, or someone else’s.

    The Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) historically opposed the Communist Party of Germany (KPD) due to ideological differences, particularly regarding the approach to socialism and the use of revolutionary tactics.

    I wonder how that worked out. Oh, right.

    Does anyone have that Wolfenstein meme of the two klansmen and a nazi soldier talking, and the caption is something like “two American liberals talking before being interrupted by a european social democrat?” I can’t find it

            Both of you could’ve simply named the political system that you think is magically immune to being overthrown, while somehow not being authoritarianism itself.

              2 things quickly:

              Authoritarian is a meaningless pejorative. All states/countries/political groups etc. must be authoritarian by necessity in class society.

              This meme isn’t about states being overthrow this meme is about how socialdemocrats entire ideology is built upon “reforming” capitalism by implementing a welfare state to more evenly spread the profits of the super exploitation of the periphery. When those profits dry up so too does the welfare state which inevitably pushes them right or left to deal with the heightened contradictions. The meme is pointing out the unfortunate pattern of it almost always ending in a rightward shift (due to many factors).
