    No idea why he's doing it but I love the cries of betrayal from these swine

    Denouncing hitler probably has absolutely no harm to a modern fascist movement, and only gain. Modern fascists don't have to call what they want to build fascism, they can just be esoteric and take power, they can hide behind "we denounced hitler" to befuddle people about why they're being called fascists, this muddies the water on fascism.

    This is quite unlike communists who are forever tied to previous communist projects and must defend them or else have people assume "communism is nice on paper but its application has proven that it doesn't work". The fascists are unburdened by the constraints of honesty.

      The power to just fucking lie all the time, and have a core that is fine with the lies and bullshit because in a liberal society they have nothing to lose.

      Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert.

      The worst thing about this is these fucking squealing shitheads always go

      "uhm akshully Mussolini was a socialist, so communists are the same as fascists smuglord "

      No amount of disproving them convinces anyone that these fascists are being obtuse and lying. It's so smug too.
