Bernie Sanders is absolute garbage.His "anti-war" essay is the equivalent of going to a Christian fanatic and feeding his fantasies of martyrdom by going "Yes, loose women are wantonly genociding innocent babies with abortion, but you should let it go for practical reasons." pic.twitter.com/703mkzeYEB— Roderic Day (@RodericDay) June 18, 2021
In the west, social-democracy and fascism spring forth from the same seed, namely white supremacy. Western social democrats believe that they can transition towards some form of socialism without destroying the imperialist order they are leading. They want the benefits of a socialist society while keeping the colonialist superstructure. This position is more aligned with fascism that it is with communism.
Of course, the Marxist definition of fascism is different than the definition used by the broad public, so going around saying “Bernie Sanders is a social-fascist” is probably not a good idea.
Okay, what is /c/shitliberalssay for if we’re going to call everyone to the right of us (including a socdem, for fish’s sake) a “fascist”?

SuccDems aren’t socialists.
