I’m so glad idiots like you are a joke to the silent majority, who will continue living free under liberalism long after fascism and communism are forgotten.
Have you been frozen since the 90s? All the proclamations that liberalism won and it was the end of history, and we’d just have technocratic tweaks to capitalism forever were wrong.
Capitalism tends towards crisis when it can’t expand its markets, it’s structural.
Hell this very post is about liberals being complicit with or facilitating the rise of fascism.
Because there’s nothing new under the sun, you can study the same dynamic in 1930s germany. The choice is socialism or barbarism, and the liberals choose barbarism every time.
to Those Leftists™, anyone thats left of them, right of them, or has identical political beliefs on everything except one issue are “libs”, its been thrown around so much on lemmy that it takes up the same part of my brain as “woke”, when I see someone use it unironically its generally safe to say I can ignore them.
Social democrats literally are liberals though; liberal is defined by support of capitalism, social democrats seek to buttress capitalism with social programs.
Not to be confused with Democratic Socialism, such as in Bolivia and and Venezuela, who aren’t liberals, nor are anarchists, or communists or various indigenous movements that are their own flavor of anti-capitalist.
Yeah, but I wasn’t replying to the social democrat. I can only go through seeing anarchists and communists be called lib so many times before feeling like the word liberal has lost all meaning and it just becomes another abstract insult
Where the hell do you see anarchists and communists get called lib?
Is it by republicans, who think liberal means anyone left of them and that communists are a type of liberal, and Mao’s Combat Liberalism was a pamphlet about doing liberalism, but really aggressively?
Those people are even dumber and more politically illiterate than the average blue maga.
Hahahah imagine expecting liberal media to stop fascism.
Liberalism creates the conditions of fascism; Capitalism tends towards crisis, eventually it must be buttressed by applying colonial methods at home.
Liberals always do everything they can to keep us on the path towards fascism, since socialism represents a greater threat to capitalism.

I see a few people helping the fascists around here, and one of them is you.
Could you elaborate? I’m curious how you arrived at that conclusion.
lol OK kid
Social Democrat, here: Both of you people suck.
Don’t worry, you’re a ‘lib’ to all the self-proclaimed Very Pure Leftists.

I just want to throw in here, that the ‘silent majority’ used to mean the dead.
* according to a comic I read on the internet, but meh, maybe I’ll look it up later
Wow, that’s very profound. Thank you for wisely using both of our time on that insight.
