I don't want to hear any shit about me shilling for Biden, because I'm not. Fuck Biden. Need to get this off my chest though.
I want fascists around the world to feel what we felt the night Corbyn lost, when we found out Bernie had a heart attack, when he conceded defeat like a coward.
Because they haven't felt anything but power and hate for the past 5 years.
The wave of fascist parties taking hold in Europe and parts of South America were buoyed by what happened on our stolen land. We showed them what was possible and we need to do that again, except in an explicit rejection of rightwing fascism.
I want Trump to be buried alive (electorally) so we can take (online) pilgrimages to piss on his (campaign's) grave.
I want Biden to be on full display 24/7 so that the entire world realizes what a joke neoliberalism is and we can finally destroy it.
I want to build real power and bully libs and tell them that we don't have to take their shit because "The dang cheeto" is no longer in the White House and we're not fucking around, and all of the harm that is happening to people around the world is because their guy is a failure.
I feel at this point leftist orgs need to own up to their anti-fascist claims and do the bare minimum of calling for Trumps removal, even if they also denounce Biden in the process.
Anyways. Have a nice night, comrades. Stay safe and stay hydrated.
QUICK EDIT: I also wanna see the left organize an anti-war movement rivaling the leadup to Iraq under a Democratic president the minute Sleepy Joe tries to pull some shit. That would fucking slap.
Misinterpreted and I'm dead tired but this was just an example, not "wishing genocide" or some other weird shit.
ANOTHER EDIT: People seem to be implying that I am saying "vote for Biden".. I'm not, I am expressing my own views and feelings on the current state of hell, though it should NOT be controversial to want to remove a literal fascist from office on a leftist internet community.
All the war and finance will the same, yes.
The difference is mostly internal, being that the Trump variety likes to actively encourage it on twitter.
Dialectical materialism doesn’t mean individual actions don’t matter, even if the course of history proceeds according to material conditions. People still need to be agents.
In this case, one small way of reducing fascism’s rapid surge would be deplatforming Trump.
Definitely agree with agency still existing, but in this case the question is about the electoral system and predicting what these particular agents will do, and I think both of them have been constructed/selected by these same material conditions being discussed to have a negligibly different impact, maybe slightly worse on Biden's side because of how he'll wield the empire. The only sense in which Trump is worse is, like you say, his domestic cultural impact. The problem is I just don't see his impact there being terribly great when compared to the utter devastation someone like Biden with the entire apparatus behind him could do to the global south and elsewhere.
