I agree. Fascist countries like Denmark, Germany and Canada often get called “socialist” and they have been disastrous for the reputation of socialism.
Fidel Castro is morally superior to every US president.
Counterpoint: Fidel is the reason Trudeau exists
A very low bar that Fidel soars over without even getting close. Even Gaddafi and Assad are better than every US President lmao
No shot on that.
Jimmy Carter?
Carter also jumpstarted neoliberalism rot monetization and the drive to privatize. Willingly laid the foundation for Reagan.
Set up all the groundwork for funding the Mujahideen terrorists in Afghanistan, the funding of the dictatorship and death squads in El Salvadore, setting up the groundwork for the fuckery Reagan did with Iran-Contra.
Supplied arms to support genocide in Indonesia, among other crimes. Him building homes now is just some light penance before he’s shipped off to hell. https://fair.org/media-beat-column/jimmy-carter-and-human-rights-behind-the-media-myth/
Nothing more ‘socialist’ than supporting the current world order but with some welfare
Fascism.
Tankies forget that Trotsky existed.
The fact that you think Trotsky would’ve been less authoritarian than Stalin betrays that you don’t know shit about him yourself.
I’m glad you could enlighten us with a post that doesn’t bother to explain anything.
Tankies forget that anything that isn’t stalinism is also considered socialist
*authoritarian, not fascist. There is a difference.
Ah yes, the tyranny of small differences. Let us tear each other apart over this trifling distinction.
Fact; fascism falls under the larger umbrella of authoritarianism.
The problem is that people throw around “fascism” like my 70 year old mom uses the word “communism.” She couldn’t even define the actual meaning of communism let alone her use of the word.
In the common internet usage fascism just means “anything authoritarian and to the right of where I stand.” It also has the issue of making people think that the problem is with left versus right politics when authoritarianism can and has existed everywhere in the political spectrum in history.
