            Yeah the person marching for the proto-fascist president surrounded by racists and bigots ready to overthrow the government and install a right wing dictatorship was a secret lefty

                  A conservative. I don’t believe conservatism is fascism, although conservatives will ally with fascism when given the chance

                    You've said multiple times that you think neoliberalism and fascism are pretty much the same thing but you don't think conservativism is fascist as well? Hard pressed to believe you aren't a wrecker.

                        And conservatism isn't fascist how? Especially in a US context. Conservatism in the US is the most neoliberal ideology. If neoliberalism is fascist, as you've said at least twice, how is it that conservatism is different?

                          Because conservatism at the moment holds at least a color opposition to liberalism

                            Is that because you personally dislike liberalism more than anything on the right wing as you've stated before?

                                          The neoliberal world order is a poison. Bring it crashing to the ground. That’s what Lenin tried doing, and it worked in Russia.

                                            That isn’t anti establishmentism, that’s Marxist-Leninist Bolshevism, and are you saying Lenin would be saying “oh no the protofash ruling class killed a protofash conservative! The horror!”

                                            Cause he wouldn’t

                                            Wait, the protofash that got killed supports the ‘color opposition’ (to the other bourgeoise party) which makes them better and less fascist, I forgot

                                          Every mega corporation in the world came out to denounce the trump rioters. (Except My Pillow) I feel like that means that they felt threatened by these riots.

                                              Maybe I’m a shitty person, but the fascist movement in America doesn’t really have enough support to get to the stage of the literal Holocaust. It would require total economic collapse for that.

                                                I mean they already have people in camps and the majority of Americans have forgotten about it, it would be an easy next step, that was how the holocaust started. And then a fascist government with the American military? The holocaust under fascist America would not be limited to their own country.

                            This is what you get when you take "Democrats are bad too" and contort it into "Democrats are actually worse than Republicans."

                            Not only does it make zero sense, but it actively stifles the growth of the left because anyone persuadable will look at that and think (correctly) that you don't have a clue.

                    I'm not gonna care when the conservatives/fascists are fighting each other. If anything their infighting is a weakness that the left should exploit, not support one flavour of racism over the other.
