Why are leftists and communists cheering the victory of the candidate backed by the billionaire-owned media and Wall Street?
Serious question.
The issue is never the issue; the issue is power or, at least, the illusion of it.
The most powerful letter in America for the last decade, maybe 2, has been D. It trumps (lol) all principles, morals and ethics. It doesn't matter how despicable a person is, that D is the most important thing for the Puritan Left and wider left as a whole. All that "Blue no matter who" is just a smokescreen for the true message of "If they have a D, they're alright with me"
As Stonetoss has also made this comic here it can be confusing.
There are many reasons for it, but the easy way to explain it is that they both have the same enemies.
I think it's much simpler. Commies and technocrat globalist governance types both believe in centralized, rational, organized control of society and the globe more generally. Commies just think that once technocrat globalist governors are in power we will somehow magically arrive at utopia and this monolithic state will "wither away," because Marx uwu.
"Rational" in the mathematically directed by a bureaucracy sense.
You know, the irrational kind of rational.
Yes and the people that oppose those kinds of policies and agendas get targeted by both. People who tend to want to be "left alone" and have some place for themselves.
But people who think that citizens are the property of the state will never settle for that.
It will in fact magically arrive at an utopia. The thing is that this magic is erasing freedom and people's individualities until nothing but drones are left. The utopia is peaceful working force who obeys.
Nah. Commies and technocrats ask what "what can my country do for me?". Fascists ask "what can I do for my country?". Libertarians ask "what can I do?", and will natural gravitate to the extreme that moderates the center, since both extremes will limit that.
Fascists ask "What has been ordered of me." Nationalists ask "What can I do for my country.
FTFY don't be dumb and conflate the two. They can happen as a pairing but they are not one and the same. To do so is to conceed the notion that the Left has a monopoly on the Non-authoritarian line of thinking.
People have fallen for that falsehood for centuries and we are just about having people wake up to the realisation that Authoritarianism, fascism is NOT just a right wing thing and nationalism is NOT a dirty word. Don't ruin it now.
So JFK was a fascist?
Huh?
