Both stumble into a correct position occasionally while spewing their bourgeois ideology. Ironically both are basically only right when ripping neoliberal Democrats, and that isn't what this article is doing. It's obvious that this was an article meant to prevent like 100 Bernie bro simps from voting Tulsi over Bernie because their positions are similar but she's hot and young.
Tbh, Tucker and Jacobin serve the same purpose: to spread false consciousness to a particular subset of mostly petit bourgeois workers and funnel their rage and energy into a political program that preserves and fortifies capitalism. One is diet fascism and the other is social fascism.
"Social fascism" is a bullshit term used by people like the Red Guards to excuse physically assaulting people at DSA meetings. It's a garbage concept. Calling anything left of actual socialism some form of fascism totally removes any meaning from the word. Cut it out.
It's also incredibly silly to claim that Tucker and Jacobin "stumble into the right position" at the same or even similar rates. And he's more than a diet fascist tbh, he's an outright fash and going on his show, even to dunk on neolibs, is contributing to his fash messaging. He's one of the most dangerous fascists in the country as well. I'm not so obsessed with owning the libs (because I'm not a CHUD, I'm a leftist) that I'll enjoy dunks on neolibs from an outright fascist, even if they're technically correct. So fuck Tulsi and Greenwald and anyone who thinks joining Tucker in dunking on neolibs is cool. Tbh I agree with the libs when they spread around a screenshot of Glenn and Tucker laughing together, that shit is fucking sickening. Not everything that isn't actual socialism is equally evil, and some leftists inability to understand that makes me disgusted with the left at times.
