Killing fascists makes you a fascist?
To crackers, it does; because that's their only defense for the fascism they already uphold, and the only way they maintain their unjust hegemon.
Murdering your political opponents is a fascist tactic.
Lol that minimizes what fascism actually is. Assassinations have happened throughout history, including before Capitalism and before the crisis within Capitalism that created fascism.
That "lol" is quite unnecessary. There is no need to ridicule me. I would expect better from a mod of a community like this.
I didn't say that is all fascism is, just that it is a tactic within fascism. It can be a part of it. But anyway I don't want to argue what is and isn't fascism, my point is just that political violence and murdering your political opponents does not work with democracy and shouldn't ever be hoped for or wanted, even if it is your political opponent being targeted. I want Trump gone as much as the next guy on the fediverse but I don't want him killed.
I dont need to, but I felt like it. I chose restraint and went with "lol" instead of really getting into how ridiculous and chauvinist of an opinion it is.
You said this: "Murdering your political opponents is a fascist tactic."
I mean the Soviets murdered the hell out of nazis, so there is a counterexample for you. The cubans also murdered the hell out of high level regime collaborators when batista was overthrown. Another counterexample. I'm not advocating for murder within our political system but like, you're not correct.
Fucking lmao you are such a wretched, servile dog. You know NOTHING of western history and make no attempt to prove that you do. Rank anglo ignorati that shouldn't even be regarded at this point beyond ridiculing.
Lol
I dont think you know what fascism means
