Fascists: I want everyone in the same country, rich and poor alike, to accept their place in the hierarchy and do their part to protect our Glorious Nation™ from foreigners. Seriously you guys, I can't stress enough how much I hate communism and want literally the exact opposite of what they want. Surely nobody will ever lump us-
Liberals: C O L L E C T I V I S M :galaxy-brain:
True, but to me "Collectivism" is even more ridiculous than those because when applied to communists it refers to class struggle and when applied to fascists it refers to class collaborationism. These two things are literally the opposite! What the fuck liberals :agony-mescaline:
It's like "populism" which literally means "everything that isn't cold-blooded, warmongering hegemonic liberalism." It's applied to racism and civil rights activism, pro-democracy and anti-democracy positions, and pro-war (when it's for the "wrong" reasons) and anti-war (always) positions. Literally the only thing that's not "populism" to people who say "populism" is weird centrist liberalism that has no strong opinion on civil rights, opposes democracy in the "correct" way, and always beats the war drums when told that's the "good" thing to do. Everything from elitist warrior death cults to radical popular democracy is just "populism" to them.
