    I don’t quite feel like teaching you how fascism works so just… Go learn that yourself. Then you’ll probably be less off the mark when talking about this stuff.

      If it was an inevitable end to capitalism we’d be drowning in it is my point.

      Speaking of points do you want to address my point about leftists being unable to organize themselves out of a wet paper bag, much less the current government they helped elect?

        Regardless of whether that’s true, which is irrelevant (the answer is kind of yes but it’s complicated), America in particular is headed towards fascism.

        I mean that’s just false. The multitude of activist groups, third parties and unions are the results of leftists organizing. As for why they’re not out there contesting elections, it’s a mixture of complacency, the spoiler fallacy, a weird Stockholm syndrome-style attachment to the Democratic Party and falling for the DNC’s ruse. You’ll see them get off their asses eventually (whether they’ll do so in time is another story), but inability to organize isn’t the problem here.

          I mean the progressives saw a choice between genocide enabling status quo (their words not mine) and Trump’s government and still couldn’t break one percent of the popular vote (that’s including all the third parties just to be super generous.)

          What’s it going to take to get them to get off their asses and do something?
