Neoliberals clearly view him as a fascist. I don't acutally think this is the case at all, and we are really just witnessing increaingly antagonistic contradictions unfold within the bourgeoisie. Regardless, Libs clearly view him this way, and we should take note.

To liberals we are identical to fascists and we will be treated in exactly the same way as he has been by the media, big tech, the liberal establishment etc.

    My point still stands that they will use similar techniques to undermine us. I mean, take a look at Corbyn.

      Let's be real here; Corbyn didn't do himself any favors either. Outside of the anti-semitism accusations, he was a weak party leader. He sat there and just let them attack his character constantly. He made no moves to reform Labour or do anything about the Blairites (who were constantly attacking him on a weekly basis) and when it came to specific issues and talk points like Brexit, he flip-flopped around on that to the point he lost a debate against Boris Johnson. The Brexit stuff especially came back to haunt him.

      Corbyn made mistakes and you can rightly criticize him for poor leadership. I have no idea why western leftists, mostly Americans act like he was golden and made zero mistakes, and it was all the media's fault.

      We still have a lot of work to do to build the left. The best way we can do it is by focusing on the working class and building around them, which is what Marxists should be doing anyway. Fuck liberals. The Democratic party is quickly becoming the rich, snobby college educated party. I don't know how people can't see this with libs and how they so condescendingly talk down to everyone in smug tones. This election has proven that the working class is walking away from the Democrats as that party has proven they don't want them. If we don't talk to them, someone else will... and that someone else is going to be the fascists coming out of the GOP.

        Doesn't do anything to change the fact that they would do the same thing to a strong party leader.

        Please quote the part where I said you cannot criticize Corbyn? You can be a poor leader as a neoliberal and they will treat you like a king.

        Of course, but that will only make them go after us twice as hard, and call us anti-semite facist nazi scum of the earth.
