NATO is liberal and that comes with all of the problems of liberals but in what ways has it functioned as a fascist organisation?

Working as intended then, because it was never about savings.

Macron really going out of his way to fuck over the French people, eh? Calls snap elections right after the far right wins big in eu elections, then refuses to follow the will of the people when said election backfires.

Part of my thinks the left will be better off in opposition, though.

All they care about is their base

But it isn’t the same as if the entire working class had a collective say in the capital, not just those who choose to and have the resources to pay in. It isn’t the same as the workers of that company having a say in their working conditions, shift lengths, compensation, etc.

A better way to say it would instead be the inverse: “If you don’t work for a paycheck, you probably hold enough capital”

They want a shutdown lol this idea that negotiating will avert it is silly since you don’t negotiate for things you don’t want.

Captured implies that the State didn’t already function as a tool of capital

All this because Republicans in the US don’t like that sending arms to Ukraine makes Biden look good to the general public.

I know, I was joking

Yes, although the US pulled itself back enough with some of FDR’s reforms that it kicked the can down the road a few generations, whereas the Weimar Republic actually collapsed.

I know right? This quote in the headline makes her out to sound so tepid like “please mr president could you maybe be more confrontational against the fascists who want to kill me and my allies? 👉👈”

Too busy trying to court centrist voters and uphold a dying status quo

Nah if Trump was in office in the last four months there’d be open conflict across the Middle East with thousands of US troops bound for Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Jordan, etc

Oh yeah, if he started talking like half of his most rabid supporters do online then he’d be way more popular.

If people could quote President Biden’s personal attacks on white supremacists, book bans, etc then they’d get a lot farther with the politically disengaged.

Imagine if you had Biden (or his social media team) out here on the daily constantly mocking GOP culture war shit as inherently un-American and out of touch with normal people?

What matters is perception and public messaging and that is currently one of a centrist president incapable of reigning in a foreign ally or continually calling out House Republicans for their shenanigans that put American lives at risk at home and abroad.

Conservatives have constant control of the conversation because they have zero qualms publicly stating how their political adversaries stand in their way. But instead it looks like Democrats trying to win Republicans support by adopting republican policies instead of bullying them into accepting the plan of the majority party of the upper legislature and presidency.

Such an idea is impossible anyways, because to ensure a benevolent society you need to incorporate the wide range of viewpoints and experiences of the people within it, something a dictatorship, by definition, precludes.

Man if only someone at the DNC would see this…

EDIT: y’all I was being sarcastic

They’re banking on the 6-3 conservative majority being willing to use their power.

When organized labor is crushed, what comes next is never pretty (see: 1930s Germany).

Reminder that 10 years ago Russia passed a law banning LGBT representation in books in order to “protect children”.

Just some food for thought for Americans who support similar laws here. (Looking at you Florida)
