    What conservatives has this person met who support things like abolishing landlordism and the working class seizing the means of production?

      If you rant about "elites" there's a good chance a conservative will nod along, unfortunately they're autotranslating "elites" to either "blue-haired baristas" or "Jews" in their head.

      Being extremely angry at George Soros and Bill Gates is what passes for leftism in American media.

    Are anti-communists like this really this historically and polically illiterate, or are they just pathetic feds just trying to confuse people and waste time? We may never know.

    Edit: I just noticed they're named after Sobek, lmao oh Hoteps are the worst. Imagine idolizing autocratic god-kings and then having the gall to call others fascists.

    Let me do a bit of translation, when libs say "side with fascists" they mean not voting for their party when they side with fascists

      In 1933 a German left wing party didn't align with the party that had ordered the execution of it's leadership fifteen years earlier

      This proves leftists are fash.

      Before you attempt to raise any counterexamples, that's whataboutism and you're literally Vladimir Putin right now

    "Conservatives support left wing economic policies"

    Social democratic ones. Try to criticize small businesses, maybe suggest abolishing money and the market. Odds are, you might get a "sounds nice, but doesn't work" - reforming capitalism being seen as preferable, more realistic - and for that they see nationalistic policies as preferable, just as liberals would prefer other nationalistic policies, such as for example immigration to get cheap labor for the sake of competitiveness.

    The dominant ideas being those of the ruling class.

      When they feel they are getting screwed over, conservative proles WILL join unions, go out on the street and even revolutions. However, at the current time, they side with capital, because they believe that a better capital is the only way to improve their own lives - a false consciousness, if you will. Plus moral notions from religion, liberalism and its education, etc. - virtues like hard work and no complaining or the proper way a society should be run.
