Meanwhile, libs think the USSR literally saving the world from fascism was imperialism
Antifascism is when you do imperialism
That's what happens when you drink the American exceptionist koolaid, permanent brainrot
Debatelord, STEMlord, Theater Kid | Moderate Liberal Hawk | Math+Econ Major | 20 | (she/her) |
A theater kid that's a STEMlord...pretty sure that's 4 Horseman level of boss battle right there
Anyone who says """""debating""""" is part of their identity gets gulag.
nah, I've never seen her around at Langl-....I mean, y-yeah, amerikkkan imperialism disagrees with her. totes
Wait... What?
I honestly do not understand what this peron believes. Is this the Socratic idea of expressing a political belief? The essence of it, without attaching it to politics or language? Someone translate this for me before I decide that this person is some kind off genius!
"if ur a REAL antifa you'd SUPPORT the HEROIC AMERICAN MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX in RE-INVADING AFGHANISTAN"
OH! I had to scroll up and down between your answer and the original message a few times, but I get it now! This person's parents took her to a cosmetic surgeon as a child and demanded that their daughter's brain stem should be shaped like an exclamation mark so that she would be assertive and now she believes this. I'm sad now.
It's only called fascism if it's from Italy - otherwise it's sparkling imperialism
It doesn't, but the engine of foreign intervention is imperialist and therefore is prohibited by its structure from engaging in any anti-fascist action.
At first I thought this meant “You should pay attention and be harsh on US foreign policy, to stop the US’s fascism abroad.” Makes a lot more sense that way
I like the idea of antifascists trying to keep up and understand policies of other countries outside their borders, but supporting "foreign policy" screams fed
Fascism is when imperialism comes home.
What is it when antifascism travels away from home?
The USSR providing support for communist militant groups around the world?
The fact that people in the country with the strongest military in the world actually think like this is terrifying when you don't live in America.
I mean, they're not wrong other than the fact that you kind of have to have a revolution before you can start exporting it. If the US wakes up tomorrow morning and decides to create a DotP, address its massive pile of crimes against humanity at home and abroad, and genuinely becomes a proper socialist nation and then decides that it wants to arm fellow socialists in Saudi Arabia or wherever then go for it.
Do you not see that this person is using "antifascism" as a justification for imperialism?
Of course. This person is some weird Trot-to-neocon-pipeline graduate trying to justify the existing US bombing brown people to do imperialism. I was just pointing out that the same argument made in good faith assuming a socialist government rises in a former imperial core power isn't wrong.
Dictatorship of the proletariat. It doesnt mean dictatorship as its widely used today, just as a description of which class is on top. Marx described every capitalist and feudalist state as a dictatorship of the bourgois/capital so its used to indicate what class is in controll of the state and society . So a dictatorship of the proletariat more or less the period that follows a revolution with the working class taking hold of the state and power, recreating it with a new class character and supressing the burgeois and and reactionaries
