"conservative socialism" either means "I'm a conservative but want weed" or nazis
just like how libertarians co-opted Drug legalization and anti-war bits in the mid-00s
Are they doing the nazi play of pretending to be socialists because socialism is becoming more popular, or did they fall for the nazi play of pretending to be socialists and are too dumb to realize that's nonsense?
In the last sentence, they literally say it’s another term for Nazism so I think the first one.
That doesn't rule out the latter though, my thinking was that these are proud nazis who actually believe the propaganda bit, so they think they're nazis and socialists at the same time. It is, as they say, right there in the name
Other terms include Fascism
Aaaah, it's the timeless fashoid pastime of relabelling their bullshit, as though hearing fascism described with a different name makes a fucking difference.
see also 'identitarianism, white nationalism, race realism' etca political ideology that differs from a basic understanding of socialism.
A party for people who dont read theory!
I was thinking that sounds like fascism with extra steps but then they just admitted it on the bottom
>literally have fascist in the sub description
>get mad when people call you fascist

No, they are saying it's crazy to call them fascist, because they're socialist and stan the GDR.
Why reddit gotta ban CTH but not shit like this and stupidpol? I mean, I know why, but still!
leftists talk about trans people too much
TIL, the Texas State Legislature and national Talk Radio are full of leftists.
Once again, I am dreaming of living in the world wingnuts think we're living in.
And Reddit will probably allow it to exist because it conflates socialism with fascism. And Reddit libs will point to it as the red-brown alliance or whatever. And the Nazis in it will continue not being banned.
Well ackshually the nazis were socialists because it's in the name and because muh big government and because socialism is pee pee poo poo.
Christ I was on the fence about what they were doing because I had some extremely sophisticated conversations with one or two of them. I'm still not convinced the person I spoke to was a fascist but I had noticed actual fascists there. Mask off with that description now I guess.
Ok so I just double checked, turns out it wasn't this subreddit I had the good conversation in, it was instead /r/conservativesocialist. Easily confused with /r/conservativesocialism really.
I'm not really sure I trust /r/conservativesocialist either but I at least had a genuinely real marxist conversation with them. I suspect if they're serious they will pick up the stupidpol crowd and rehabilitate them into something genuinely useful instead of something reactionary, focus on topics like the family and simply remove idpol(including anti idpol) in order to create a genuinely unique space, but instead I suspect that it'll just be a Stupidpol2 and it's clear there's a lot of brainworms in there.
Oh I don't think that's what they're doing. I think they're just making stupidpol2. But at least I wasn't using a fascist sub.
