    Classic liberal move, history somewhat repeats itself. They’d rather have fascists than leftists in power.

      It’ because fascists don’t endanger neolib capitalism, but leftists do

        Oh yeah, because not wanting 90% of my country’s media to belong to 10 people, or have proper taxation for richer folks, or good use of my tax euros for proper free health care and education for everyone make me a Stalinist.

        I’d absolutely rather have billionaire fueled propaganda against brown people and the poor, all the while they eat lobster and literally burn the planet to the ground. At least that’s not slightly leftist, right ?

        stalin, mao, min, castro …

        Who could forget the time FDR, Churchill, and Hitler met at Yalta to decide what to do with the defeated Soviet Russia?

        And for the love of god, don’t google any pictures of Nixon. Very real chance you’re going to catch him shaking hands with some shady communist characters.

        None of them electoral politicians, like the ones we’re talking about here. Try again.

        Like the rich propping up fascists to keep their wealth and power ? That’s completely unheard of right ? It’s literally happening in France right now.
