No one has produced anything approaching a “Dogwalking”. You have all just decided that I am bad and anything anyone says is therefore smart.
And this thing about Robert Paxton is getting funny. I presented a concise version of his definition. Even if I hadn’t read his book the thing to do would be to point out how that thing was wrong. Which of course no one could do because I am right. Anyway. I’m gonna head off for today. Then I’m gonna block all of you, and keep posting
The soviets got what they could from the Germans before the war started, and got as much industrial support as they could from western powers to set up their own manufacturing and industrial base and I view this in and BRICS in similar terms. Calling the Soviet Union under Stalin “Fascist collaborators” would be ridiculous, but arguing that the nazis were not fascists would be equally ridiculous.
Although I don’t find Russia to be quite as virulent as the nazis, the point of “Get what you can and ditch the fascists as soon as you can” to be about the same, and I wish they found another way.
pretty specifically said I think a lot of countries don’t fit this definition of fascism. I also don’t think I meaningfully agree with your definition of collaborator.
I think working with Russia is lamentable. Hence, cringe. I think if Cuba gets anything from it, that’s their decision to make but I would be cautious and pessimistic about the affair, bearing in mind that they are cooperating with a fascist power that is only not a full collaborator with the western hegemony because the US decided to exclude them, and who has not been able to stop the US from interfering with other Latin American countries. I don’t think engaging with this makes them meaningfully supportive of fascism as an ideology. But I think forging closer connections to other powers would have been better news.
No, I am using that card specifically because it’s not actually okay to use gendered slurs about others. Even if you are a woman. I did however remove it because I realize that citing gendered language as a problem is not my place to say to a trans person, especially given that I realize that I am quick to use “Guy” about an unknown gender so it would be hypocritical. The criticism of the slur I feel is still valid. Don’t use that kind of language.
Also I’m not gonna leave because you tell me. My opinion is correct, and a bunch of people being wrong at me isn’t gonna change anything. If “Many people are disagreeing at me” was a thing that changed opinions, none of you would have migrated over from reddit, you would have just maintained your reddit opinions. Instead you just kept the attitude to arguing.
