    There is a disturbing trend on this board to hand-wave away fascist violence because of how buffoonish it often is and because it is often directed at a liberalism that is often hostile to leftism. But that is a dangerous reflex, and I'm not sure if the people engaging in that strand of thinking are even aware of the bedfellows they are attracting.

        Supposed leftists profess to desire a revolution but dread the conditions that could possibly make one feasible.

        American socialist revolutionaries are terrified of there finally being a power vacuum and a crisis to exploit.

        Because we have zero chance of filling it. None. It can't happen. If you rip apart America you're left with a bunch of insane reactionary warlords with piles of nukes.

        End up with some crazy evangelical theocrat who decides they were chosen by god to bring on the apocalypse or setup a white christian ethnostate that makes Saudi Arabia look good.

      The Nazis were well-known level heads, who were never embarrassingly defeated

      It's also that these people are really just not particularly threatening.

      That zip tie guy is now blaming his mother.

      The dismissal based on buffoonery is concerning when you realize that the Nazis favorite thing to do was go out and get shitfaced and beat people.

      I mean Hitler liked to carry around a fucking riding crop.
