Hot take here:

The whole "social democracy is the moderate wing of fascism" thing really pisses me off. If liberals == fascists, then words don't fucking mean anything.

    I don't literally believe that but I say it to be provocative to soc dems when they support US interventions and stuff like that

    See, I find that saying things that mangle words to the absolute limits of their meanings for shock value is actually a bad way to make people have better opinions.

    How is it any different? Because they kill 20 million communists in Indonesia and Latam instead of inside their own borders?

    Edit: The DSA aren't in power nationally and have yet to truly confront the contradictions of imperialism and the welfare state. In the best case scenario where they take power they will be forced to confront them.

    The party will eventually have to choose between taking a revolutionary stance or choose reform and thereby wither in consent to capitalist imperialism. That will be decided by whether the socialists can win out over the social democrats.

    Why do you think it has to do with how many people someone killed and where?

    Berniecrats tend to not understand imperialism or completely support it through ways they think is different than right wingers. The difference between saying that putting kids in immigrant cages is bad but unilateral bombings in the middle east is good is superficial, from the point of view of the victim both are fascist actions.
