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.
Not meaning to spam you, there's just a lot to reply to in this thread.
Biden already very publicly put a target on the backs of our anarchist comrades so do you really think he is going to let himself be seen as *retch* "soft on crime" by taking Antifa off the terrorist list? That's a done deal, we're all on borrowed time here. Never mind that Antifa isn't even an org, those distinctions have never mattered to people like him. The libs will cheer him on for purging "Russian influencers" or whatever the fuck. I mean we're over here quoting Lenin FFS, the table is already set to make a meal out of us, the only difference is who gets to thank the chef for such a fine dinner. The mayors cracking down on the protests right now are all Democrats. The fascism train is rolling and we're not even in the caboose.
Are you not willing to concede that having somebody in office that spouts off daily about "radical leftwing terror" or some shit, is worse for prospects than somebody who might just not have the balls to take a philosophy off a list?
Gotta be honest here, I'm still not sure enough about the material impact of Trump's words to make that sort of evaluation or comparison. I mean, obviously it's causing harm, I'm not denying that at all. But how much? How do you measure that so that you can make a comparison to say, "Okay, this thing over here is actually worse / better." The man is made out of pure hype and his own enemies do half of his promotion for him. It's hard to say.
I do know this much, whatever degree to which the Republicans expect the Democrats to crack down and make a show of acting tough, they will. I've got the scars to prove that.
