Is fascism just a tone of voice to you?

[–] Luxemburgist@lemmy.ml 1 points 7 months ago (12 children)

I mean there certainly is a tone to fascism. That and mass murdering your political dissidents

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 15 points 7 months ago (4 children)

Which according to you is bad, but using force to stop it is equally as bad. Liberalism, everybody

When have Republicans mass murdered their political dissidents? Another tool of fascists: extreme hyperbole.

If you think they're so dangerous to society, VOTE THEM OUT, reshape the system, hell the bar them from office! Massacring them just makes YOU the fascist

Every war America has ever involved itself in, plus an absurd amount of massacred and lynched prisoners, civil rights activists and random black and indigenous people, plus every victim of America's fascist puppet governments abroad, plus everyone who starves to death in capitalist countries where food is locked up to rot, plus everyone who dies of covid due to our non-response, ect. We would literally be here all day if I wanted to list out everyone the American capitalist oligarchy and it's decorative "parties" has slaughtered on the altar of capital.

michael-laugh Oh, is it the most important election of our lifetime again already? vote

Lol, there's no shame in admitting you don't know what fascism is dude. It's not transmissible like Lycanthropy, and it's not When Violence. Also, how the fuck do you think the nazis were stopped. You think they were voted out?

Although if massacring nondescript "dissenters" is what makes a government fascist, I'm glad we at least share the correct opinion that the US is fascist.

VOTE THEM OUT

Can I persuade you to actually read Luxemburg, instead of just embodying the West German co-opting of her? Specifically, I'm thinking of Sozialreform oder Revolution?
