Well you clearly see it doesn't work. Saying "there's someone worse* CLEARLY doesn't mobilise people to vote repeatedly against fascism. Almost as if, hear me out, fascism has never historically been beaten through electoralism. What we need is to organize in leftist communities and organisations, create dual power structures, protest hard and support labor rights, and struggle against fascism through direct action instead of voting once every four years.

Keep blaming the people who warned you that the democrat strategy of lesser-evilism wouldn't work.

So now I have to deal with racism because Russia bad? Actually no, fuck that. Modern capitalist Russia is a consequence of the USA, it's backwards my man. The USSR, upon dissolving, was auctioned to the most corrupt bidder in a fashion dictated by the MIT. The US CREATED the Russian oligarchy that now directs Putin's actions, the fact that it went rogue is no different than with the "mujahedeen" turning into the Taliban.

Buying into this framework that everything is Russia's fault is ahistorical bullshit. Who's behind the invasion of Iraq? And behind the genocide in Gaza? Who's behind the invasion and carpet bombing of Vietnam and Korea? Behind the rehabilitation of Nazis in Operation Paperclip? Who supported fascism in Spain? Fuck even the caricature rightist presidents like Bolsonaro, Boris Johnson or Milei are copies of fucking Trump. The US is simply the MOST EVIL empire on Earth, Russia is also evil but it happens to have less economic and diplomatic power for now so the consequences are less all-encompassing. FFS WHO ELECTED A SIEG-HEIL ENJOYER IN THE GOVERNMENT.

Framing everything in "Russia bad" narrative isn't only racist, it literally shrugs away all the evils of the American empire and that's simply not something I'm willing to do.

Literally ALL the things you've mentioned could have been fixed by democrats, and 2/3 were actually electoral promises... I dont know how you expect people to keep voting for the lesser evil if the lesser evil is a deceptive and genocidal party

Je ne sais pas pourquoi tu me parles en français. Me podrías hablar en español, oder auf Deutsch auch. I'm not a vatnik, fuck the capitalist modern Russian government, it's actively oppressing people I hold very dear for being women or LGTBQ. I'm just fucking exhausted of Americans having to explain away fascism in their country in racist terms like "White Taliban" or "y'allqaida".

Which is the only violence tankies celebrate: killing Nazis and hanging landlords and capitalist owners

I'm not denying anything, I'm asking to be careful with such accusations and with the references used

 

Martin Luther King was a well-known activist for Black peoples' and worker's rights. After many years of fighting racism and oppression from the establishment, he shared insights on some of his findings of the unjust opposition to rightful change, which may surprise a few of us who are still learning about his figure:

"I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a “more convenient season.” Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection."

We've recently seen widespread liberal rejection of grassroots progressive movements such as Black Lives Matter, the protests against western collaborationism in the ongoing genocide in Palestine, and many so-called "progressives" dedicating more time to finding the mistakes committed by non-western regimes than those of their own nations, and calling "Tankies" to those who are a bit further to the left than us. Let us consider if we ourselves are the moderates that Dr. Luther King was talking about, and let's push for the change we actually want rather than bickering about who's "too far to the left"
