This. I can understand an American not understanding the history of a symbol, the confederate flag comes to mind, but the eagerness to murder to make sure America is top dog is big red flag.

When exactly did fascism stop in the states? Was it after the Civil War ended slavery but didn’t give blacks the right to vote? Or when we gave them the right to vote but also sent their men to die in Vietnam? Or did it end with the USSR while we supported the genocide in Palestine? Fascism in the states exists on a spectrum and voting is often choosing which direction it will creep towards.
Not knowing history can do that sometimes
I don’t really take stalk in how people vote in a liberal democracy, its built to dismantle class consciousness. Vote however your internal values and material conditions dictates, but please don’t act like voting will save us from fascism.
But also, anyone who isn’t apart of the one true Vanguard is a liberal or a fascist.
Bureaucrats are assigned some of the poorest families and their ability to get a raise depends on improving the income of those families.
Doubt it will happen but if it did they will blame the inevitable bubble pop and depression on socialism.
Capitalism is not some mysterious being, its a phenomenon and it is fundamentally incompatible with democracy. If the workplace was democratized then you would not have capitalism.

You think Xi has absolute power? Not even Mao had absolute power.
You both are right but one is more consequential. Let’s dive in:
Bombing Iran does not have bipartisan support, many Dems are voicing their opposition. The Dems even advanced a bill where the president would need congressional review to specifically bomb Iran in this instance.
The President making unilateral military decisions like bombing Iran does have bipartisan support. The Dems have not challenged it’s constitutionality or proposed significant changes on this front and instead go for a case by case congressional veto. This policy also aides in our genocidal program of Gaza…
It’s not even profitable though… At this point it seems it is just about control, like they would rather have a money pit then let independent workers, ie creatives, have any profit.

76·6 months agoYes it’s a proxy war. Doesn’t mean you should go around “liberating” your neighbors by folding them into your own territory.
It is also true people benefited from Obama’s DACA program. This isn’t a simple trolley problem let alone a single track
I’ll just tell that to my brother in law who just got released from ICE custody. Like I know this picture is probably true for Gaza, but it isn’t for many of my neighbors and family.
What the hell do you think federation is? A Trotsky plot?
That’s your choice to make and passing judgment doesn’t seem to have any material consequence. Compare that to a Palestinian, why should they care what kind of asshole we elect to office, when they care about whether that asshole will keep giving money to Isreal? They have different material conditions but I would not disparage their values over that choice. This idea that a choice is universally good or bad regardless of context is used to police our history, not just our voting. It feels very liberal coded.
