This is so bad. I could write so much more on people like this and I probably should.

    I dislike Contrapoints, but her point about "radicalizing people directly to the left from the right won't work until they properly unlearn their old beliefs" seems more and more true. You get dumb takes like this as an end result.

      radicalizing people to the left and just forming alliances with them are very different though

    The only Red-Brown alliance in this world is what happens when you eat a whole bag of Flaming Hots and not much else

    lmao at this exchange:

    leftist: There is no reasoning with or working alongside racists.

    lib: That is assuming everyone on the right are rascist.

    chud: We are.
    You should still align though, because neither of us are getting what we want, and we can always peacefully balkanize into separate ideostates. I don't care what the anarchist communers do afterwards, so long as they stay out of my fascist ethnostate.

    I'm for a Red-Brown alliance. All socialists working together with John Brown

        John Brown's body lies a' mouldering in the ground, but his spirit marches on, encased in sixteen tonnes of steel, crushing slave owners by the thousands beneath it's giant, clawed feet.

    There's never been any kind of actual red-brown alliance, and there never will be.

      Every attempt wound up in failure or betrayal. Also the the far right displays views we intend to get rid of and are incompatible with our movement.

    Obviously we should not align ourselves with nazis under any circumstances ever, but one of the things I liked about the Bernie campaign was that it felt more able to bridge a divide between democrats and republicans than any other political campaign I can ever remember. It really scares me that the left treats all of those exact same people now as irredeemable nazis. Really, stop for a minute — is every single person who votes republican a fascist? I think it’s to the massive detriment of the left that we refuse to sift through the rest of the working class to find the ones that aren’t reactionary shitheads and instead waste energy trying to court the thoroughly brainwashed democrats, the official party of the PMC whose class interests are at fundamentally and permanently at odds with those of the working class.

      is every single person who votes republican a fascist?

      Not every single German who voted for the Nazis was an anti-semite, but every single one of them was on board with enabling vicious anti-semitism.

      Same thing here.

        Okay, but if you had the chance to stop some of the non-anti-Semitic voters from voting NSDAP and could convince them to join the KPD instead, wouldn't it be worth it?

    Did a memo go out to all the shitty people "on the left" or something? Dore just had on one of the Boogaloo movements leaders to see how the left could collaborate with them.
