    THEY LITERALLY FOUGHT A FUCKING WAR AGAINST EACH OTHER. THEY WERE NEVER ALLIES AND IN FACT HATED EACH OTHER THE ENTIRE TIME. THE SOVIETS DEFEATED THE NAZIS AND EXECUTED A WHOLE BUNCH OF THE GENOCIDAL FUCKS AFTER THE WAR ENDED. OPEN A FUCKING BOOK.

      The fash are out there re-writing the books right now. "But my molotov ribbentrop!" Like the cccp wasn't the last power in Europe to sign a treaty with the Nazis after every country in Europe froze them out. The Soviets spent most of the 30s trying to build a coalition to invade and destroy Hitler before he could re-arm and all of Europe told them to go fuck themselves bc they thought the Nazis would go east and solve their communism problem.

      To many westerners nazis and communists are simply interchangeable movie villains who stands for nothing other than senseless cartoonish evil. They're as real as orcs or Darth Vader to them.

    They probably meant to represent anti-zionism with the Palestinian flag but since they lack any kind of self awareness they didn't realise that Palestine is a country that existed before Isn'treal

    i have many questions about the sexual pathology going on here.

    also if the palestine flag was pasted over something else in an original

    All politics is sexual pathology.

    Really though i cannot imagine what was happening in the brain of the person who made this. Maybe something about that Grand Mufti bs and, idk, the Soviets removing support from Israel when they realized it was fascist trash? That's the best i can do.

      I stopped trying to make it make sense after seeing this airport book.

        On the face of it, ‘liberal fascism’ could just mean the US policy during the Cold War.

        But from the blurb on the bottom I assume it is just rehashing that Mussolini was in a Socialist party when he was younger and using a load of brain dead libertarian talking points.

          Yeah it’s just brainworms.

          In contrast to the mainstream view among historians and political scientists that fascism is a far-right ideology, Goldberg argues in the book that fascist movements were and are left-wing.

      I am once again asking what the background of the phrase "All politics is sexual pathology" is, I don't think it was ever explained to me the last time I asked, and I don't like being out of the loop

        I think it was a Chapo bit back in 2020 and it stuck. It's been used a lot since then and I can't remember the original source exactly, but it's just a phrase you use when someone says something political while also being horny.

        The phrase is used to mock Reddit/Twitter style politics fans who obsess over politicians for aesthetic reasons that usually come down to sexualizing them or obsessing over sexual aspects of their politics (See: Ben Garrison's Sexy Trump cartoons for a good example)

        The idea is a bit of a dirt bag left joke when used in a mocking/sarcastic context, but it is somewhat based on feminist theory, that because we live in a patriarchy, the taboo of sex means it has to be constantly thought about to maintain the system. Like how capitalism requires constant work from workers or it collapses.

    Go straight to wall. Do not pass the labor camp, do not collect reeducation credits.
