There is no moving the goal post, I asked a simple question, since the premise was the same in 2020, “vote Biden to defeat the rise of fascism”, I’m asking how effective that was. Did it work? Was the rise of fascism stopped? Altered? Slowed down?
It had been stalled. If we were able to stall long enough for Trump to kick the bucket, I would have called that a win
It was stalled, but then Biden and the rest of the Democrats squandered that opportunity to actually solve the problem. Instead, they delusionally chained themselves to behavioral norms that were dead and gone and kept trying to prop up the neoliberal status quo, while doing pretty much nothing effective to fix the working class’ problems (i.e. the disaffection that led to the fascist demagogue’s success in the first place).
It hasn’t been stalled considering it got an even bigger win this time. It grew! That’s even worst. But stalled isn’t good either. Destroyed is what you’re looking for, and you ain’t going to get it from the makers of the material conditions that enable fascism to arise.
I want you to read this, and I want you to really understand.
I want you to think about this for at least the next week.
Because when you understand this, you will realize so much that you have ignored.
Fascism is simply an ideology.
How do you kill an idea? You kill the people who share the idea.
This next question is incredibly important.
So how do you propose we kill fascism? An idea that is known and shared with over seven billion people.
How would you stop it?
