    What if I'm against American Imperialism, NATO expansionism, and red/brown alliances?

      American fascists, such as misanthropic or the atomwaffen's "National Socialist Order", nor are the fascist-infiltrated paramilitary groups aren't organizing anti-war protests, they're either participating in the war and getting blown up right now, or agitating for the war, or attempting to accelerate the american collapse through terrorist actions.

        I'm done with this. If you and your org think this is the proper course, I'm not going to talk you out of it and you're not going to talk me into it. I'll tell you this, seeing who you all are willing to align with and who your twitter is platforming, I certainly don't feel like PCUSA are my allies right now.

          You're more than entitled to your very respectable opinion. So as long as you're against American imperialism and against NATO intervention in the Ukraine War then I'll personally consider you an ally on the issue.

            I would gladly burn this country to the ground and live in relative poverty if it would end American imperialism and I could live in peace with the woman I love.

              While I'd much rather see an America in the outlines of Z Foster's 'Towards Soviet America' with some edits for modern circumstances, assuming that's not a possible path towards world socialism and peace, I genuinely hope your wish comes true.

          to be blunt, unideological right-wing hogs who're usually herded by reactionary sheepdogs towards interests of empire.

              I agree with you. But that's down the road by roughly two years.

              Assuming that two years down the road that the ukraine war concludes, biden loses the whitehouse and trump or depantspiss wins. It would be inevitable that the hogs would go out to brunch and the ghouls would start ratcheting up the war machine with China in the cross-sights.

              At this assumed future point, I would pivot towards agitating among the disempowered democrats to being anti-war against the republican government, seeing how it's easily more fertile grounds historically.

                  its more than long enough.

                  Libs and hogs, popularly speaking (as in ground level and not ghoul level) constantly operate in mirrored opposition to each other depending on who's ghouls are cranking the lever for the next 4 years. The only notable time there's been any noticeable change to the undercurrents is in the brief periods where the lever of power is handed off to the other party's ghouls and you see a subsequent fragmenting of the outer edges of the popular sides as one kicks the other out of the brunch seat and starts eating while the ousted one starts griping about not getting their treats. That fragmenting that occurs is the act of radicalization of the most politically conscious people that were within the status quo field that both libs and hogs jostle in. You can see this in how Bernie losing yet Biden winning resulted in the embryo of socialism emerging into the common parlance of America once more after decades of red-baiting.

                  Simply put, Libs only cling to liberalism until it starts stomping on their face while shouting "MODS! MODS!"

                  Also, on your note about hogs. We're capital C Communists, We literally champion Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Castro, Che, Sankara, Bishop, Foster, Hall, Il-Sung, Jong-Il, and all the countless other heroes of the people they consider 'scary people'. I'm pretty sure that's much more scary, since they're actively financing Ukraine fascism.

                  Also transmission belts are a thing.

              It’s like voting in the guy who wants to murder kittens cuz you want to get the guy who murders puppies out of office.

              No. Nobody is voting. It is like saying killing kittens is bad with some people who probably think killing puppies is ok. They aren't even killing puppies.

        That’s not true, I am organizing with ANSWER Coalition, The People’s Forum, PSL, CodePink in a principled event to demand peace. Not a bunch of fascists, libertarians, and patsoc grifters.

        So lets get this straight for everyone reading this,

        This persons response to the fact that "red/brown alliances are bad" is "nothing can be done without allying with fascists".

        So in other words, our hero here want a repeat of what happened to all the communists, bless their hearts, who tried a red/brown alliance in naziland g*rmany during the mid 20th century.

        What a fucking genius.

            If the only option to defeat fascists is to align with different fascists, then it's time for the nukes to fly.

              The fascists are whoever is currently in charge of the globe spanning fascist empire, and it is currently the Liberal Democrats acting most fascistic with their warmongering

              Quite convenient of you, a comfortable member of the core, to absolve yourself of all responsibility and demand total destruction of everything instead of putting in any effort in uncomfortable coalition building with those who are aligned with your interests currently

                the empire is liberal. It really diminishes the danger of fascism to just call everyone right wing a fascist.

                Fascism isn't just when you're racist violently

                  Wrong. The American empire is fascist to everyone at the business end of their gun. You are just on the good side of it, so you don’t care.

                  Democrats are fascists. America is fascist.

                    Liberalism is violent and exploitative that gun is being used to further the ends of liberalism

                    When I say something isn't fascist I do not mean that it is good I mean that it is not fascist

                it is currently the Liberal Democrats acting most fascistic with their warmongering

                Sorry but this is just straight up not true. Not because liberals aren't bloodthirsty imperialists, but because right wingers are currently talking about "a throne of Chinese skulls" while gearing up to do Krystalnacht 2 on trans people. There is no cooperation there that doesn't end in mass graves.

      I mean, unless you're signatory to the Grand Red/Brown Alliance Treaty all you're doing is giving brown shirts the power to alter your policy choices by doing whatever they want.
