Like trying to pull a coup would have been the only rational, non-hypocritical response here

Yes. What kind of party hands over power to people they know is fascist?

A liberal one, yes. Which is the problem, and why liberalism eventually gives way to fascism when a capitalist state is in decline.

Liberals once again just giving over power to fascists. Tale as old as time.

Not even gonna resist? Really?

I don’t get it. He seems to understand the dems will never be a working-class party. Why’s he still in there instead of an actual socialist org like the PSL or FRSO?

I hope liberals learn from this and start organizing. The billionaire-funded Democrat party will never pin blame on the capitalists that fund them to get working class votes.

As this article points out:

Bernie’s coalition was filled with the exact type of voters who are now flocking to Donald Trump: Working class voters of all races, young people, and, critically, the much-derided bros. The top contributors to Bernie’s campaign often held jobs at places like Amazon and Walmart. The unions loved him. And— never forget — he earned the coveted Joe Rogan endorsement that Trump also received the day before the election this year. It turns out, the Bernie-to-Trump pipeline is real! While that has always been used as an epithet to smear Bernie and his movement, with the implication that social democracy is just a cover for or gateway drug to right wing authoritarianism, the truth is that this pipeline speaks to the power and appeal of Bernie’s vision as an effective antidote to Trumpism. When these voters had a choice between Trump and Bernie, they chose Bernie. For many of them now that the choice is between Trump and the dried out husk of neoliberalism, they’re going Trump.

Read Blackshirts and Reds

He would actually advance working class interests though, and all billionaire/corporate funding to the Democrats would be cut off as a result; Dems wouldn’t let that happen.

That’s the point of liberal “democracies” after all: keeping capitalists in power.

Get organized, that excuse of a democracy won’t save you.

It is the Fourth Reich

Love the implication that the shitty imperialist anglo organization was ever credible.

The most relevant paragraph imo

It’s worth noting that “fascism” specifically is a eurocentric — or even more specifically a 20th century-centric — ideology. You could argue the US has always been “fascist”, just that the fascism has been focused on people outside it — the countries it constantly wages wars on. Still a good way to describe the direction declining capitalist states are headed to, I guess.

Again, just go back to reddit/stormfront

Reddit and stormfront should be fascist enough for your tastes then. Just go back there. An open source community will naturally have slightly better people on average.

Just go back to reddit if even this is intruding on your echo chamber too much lmao

How the US Was Forced to Remove Sanctions on Zimbabwe

Not a good sign…

I’ll see myself out

Cuba’s biggest current shortages right now are energy and building materials like cement. Both of which are directly caused by the embargo, and worsened by the recent storm.

Yeah like with how the US sanctions on Zimbabwe were forced to be removed (for the most part, anyway), this will only end by direct action and protests in the US itself.

That is, if the civil unrest in the US due to the sanctions harms profits for the capitalists more than lifting the sanctions on Cuba does, they will choose the latter.

India and China don’t trust each other much at all

Seems to be changing now thanks to this summit

While it’s technically feasible, there’s little sign most BRICS members beyond sanctioned Russia and Iran are interested in joining a common depository

And that’s why I don’t mind the talks of more western sanctions on China. They’d have more incentive to go through with this that way.

Sanctions on the other member states like India and Brazil would probably hurt their working class too much though…

Shame to see this shit from torvalds

What makes you think they support either genocidal candidate? If hitler harris wants those votes, she just has to stop supporting genocide; it’s not that hard.

Unless you think demanding someone to not support genocide is too much?
