Leftist Infighting: A community dedicated to allowing leftists to vent their frustrations

The purpose of this community is sort of a "work out your frustrations by letting it all out" where different leftist tendencies can vent their frustrations with one another and more assertively and directly challenge one another. Hostility is allowed, but any racist, fascist, or reactionary crap wont be tolerated, nor will explicit threats.

Two things to say here, one, the "trains ran on time" line was for Fascist Italy, not Nazi Germany, and two, it was never anything more than propaganda made to make people think that the fascist regime was efficient, when in reality it was quite the opposite, it was horribly corrupt and disorganized
The way that "at least Mussolini made the trains run on time" is still treated as fact by so many people isn't proof that terrible people do some things right, it's proof that too many people still fall for literal fascist propaganda
But I suppose it's fitting, because "Trump is going to take out the cartels!!" is also little more than propaganda to support a US invasion of Mexico
