DJT and MAGA
Being against Liberal Democracy isn’t always a bad thing, see here
In mid 2022 until the 2022 midterms, I agreed with Joe Biden that the 2022 mid term elections might be illegitimate. I also agree with Joe Biden on the need to make the case to the American people that some of things that the Republicans have done might be to try the alter the 2022 mid term elections
The Republicans should stop focusing on petty things (like gay issues, abortion, mushrooms, drug traffickers coming across the border illegally) and instead focus on things that matter (the economy, foreign issues, spending on others while we in the US struggle etc)
I am happy with the results of the 2022 mid term elections.
The Democrats (and to a somewhat lesser extent the Republicans) have caused the highest inflation rate in decades, have through their soft on crime policies caused crime to be up everywhere ,implemented hawkish immigration policies which lead to 800 deaths of migrants crossing into the US (that we know about), huge Failure on the international stage, Afghanistan debacle (Arming our enemies like the Taliban with $80b in American weapons) and Joe Biden’s low approval ratings
I do not support Donald Trump and I only said ‘give Donald Trump a chance’ (like Jimbo Wales and Hillary Clinton did in early 2017) when Trump became junta leader
I am however against people being against people who are against people who irrationally or ignorantly oppose Donald Trump . When Trump goes low why not go high?
I myself do not criticize Donald Trump nowhere near as harshly as Twitter ‘leftists’ do (so many people have trashed Trump for me to do so is extreme overkill) as I feel that Trump is part of a larger socioeconomic problem, so I criticize that larger socioeconomic problem that Trump is part of savagely (with the same fiery passion that Abraham Lincoln had in his Lost speech).
I refuse to allow Donald Trump to ruin my happiness, joy and peace of mind or to rent space in my head (and I would never want Trump to be my landlord)
I give Donald Trump credit where credit is due exactly how and when David Brooks does. But I give more credit to the process of Donald Trump than than I give credit to Trump himself for those rare broken clock moments.
I like how Trump’s process was/is anti imperialist and that his process challenges the Neoliberal/Neocon agenda and is anti war (for the most part).
I like how funny, direct and honest he is (I laugh AT Donald Trump). This Tweet (which includes my reactions to it) makes Trump look more like Bernie Sanders than like George Wallace or like someone to the right of Pat Buchanan
I like the process of Trumpism because that process is strong and united/unites the working class from MAGA to Communism and destroys the corporate class and ogliarchy. Trump is a unique treasure.
But the above pitiful views I have of the process of Trumpism, are in spite of his toxic behavior and not because of it.
I don't believe Trump should have been the one or should be the one to carry out the relatively few positive things his process did during his junta and that he would do in the future as President.
I believe that Joe Biden was and is a great President to terraform that Trumpism into a salvageable (i.e compassionate and progressive) ideology that can truly Build Back (America) Better .
Trump is not my ideal of a ‘President’. He lost control of himself and allowed himself to be petty. Trump constantly throws a lot of people he hired under the bus (they are supposed to be there to provide him with counter arguments so its expected they'll be harsh on him).
Those same people are now going after him harshly, what kind of message does that send to our country?
But two of the biggest follies of Donald Trump’s juntaship was Trump’s signature corporate tax cut and his attempts to undo Obamacare
But if I must insult Donald Trump to provide ‘red meat’ (Orange man=BAD!):
Donald Trump is the Prince of Darkness. I am convinced that Donald Trump is a combination of Hannibal Lecter, Dr Evil, the Antichrist, Freddy Krueger and Godzilla all rolled into one! The way that Trump handled and enflamed the pandemic was as scary and tragic as the horror movies and Armageddon
Donald Trump is a scoundrel , he shaved Mr McMahon's hair at Wrestlemania 23!! That was so heelish of Trump to cause such pain and misery to such an upstanding and respectful person (McMahon) who helped build the WWE to what it is today.
I bet McMahon's grandkids were crying in horror as they saw Trump and Lashley shave and abuse McMahon.
Donald Trump also is a celebaphobe, he fired so many celebrities as host of the Apprentice!! In an authoritarian way, Trump shoves celebrities he likes and doesn’t trash down our throats (see my piece on Trump’s Garden of Heroes in the misc of my blog for example)
Donald Trump is a traitor. He was a Mets fan his whole life (he is from Queens), yet he rooted for the Atlanta Braves in person during their World Series game vs the Astros!!! Um, hello?
The Braves won the NL East like trillions of times in the 1990s and 2000s while destroying the Mets nearly every time they played and this turncoat Trump roots for them (the Braves)? BENEDICT TRUMP!!! Trump similarly is a traitor to republicanism, federalism, Constitutionalism, non interventionalism/anti war movement and (fill in the blank)
Trump also is a crook, he robbed my family of money through his casinos (Trump Plaza, Trump Taj Mahal, Trump Castle).
His casinos like Trump himself, shove holidays holidays down our throats since Trump’s brand is all about alienating people to force conformity (like Trump forcing holidays on Americans who don’t celebrate those holidays. Trump also forces assimilation or DADT type policies on people don’t look a certain way or don’t identify a certain way)
Donald Trump's hair is a major cause of climate change due to all of the hair spray he uses on it. That hairspray caused Trump to get so high it made his ego balloon to levels that would make Egoist Max Stirner proud
The Democrats and Joe Biden did not steal the 2020 Presidential election from Donald Trump… since Russians interfered in the 2016 Presidential election helping Trump win.
Trump was not in on the 2016 election steal by the Russians to help him win since if Trump was in on that election steal, he probably would have screwed it up which would have allowed Hillary Clinton to win
As such, I don’t consider Donald Trump’s junta as valid so since in my eyes, Trump was never President, he couldn’t have had the 2020 Presidential election stolen from him(since he was never President in the first place in my eyes).
Usually it is impossible to prove that an election is stolen since political machines that go through all of the trouble to rig an election , always obsessively clean up all their tracks and make it so any dissenters who come forward with the truth will be instantly shamed and labeled as conspiracy theorists, liars, lunatics and charlatans by their corrupt political machine.
But with Trump I knew he unfairly won the 2016 election and that truth was very uncomfortable for me
However since late 2016, I force myself 24/7 to pretend that the Donald Trump and the Republicans won the 2016 Presidential Election 100 percent fair and square and that there was no election fraud in the 2016 Presidential Election. I am like that when it comes to stolen elections
This is would be similar to how I use to pretend that the 2002 NFL Interconference matchups were the NFC East vs AFC East, NFC North vs the AFC West, and the NFC West vs AFC North. Similar to how in the late 1990s to mid 2000s, I use to pretend that I was born 4 to 7 years earlier in this life.
Similar to how in the early 2000s, I use to pretend that a decade earlier (in the late 1980s and early 1990s) I was a cast member on the New Mickey Mouse Club, with some future late 1990s-early 2000s pop stars (I further use to pretend that me and those future late 1990s-early 2000s pop stars like Justin, Britney, Christina, Tate , Ryan etc hung out together off set of those shows when filming was not going on).
Similar to how I used to pretend that Britney’s song You Drive Me Crazy was written and sung by her with me in mind and thus I used to pretend that song was about me
Similar to how I use to pretend that during the 1996 NFL season, the Jets beat the Eagles, Oilers and the Colts at the Meadowlands.
However, unlike those pretending examples above, I continue to pretend that the Donald Trump and the Republicans won the 2016 Presidential Election 100 percent fair and square and that there was no election fraud in that election, until the day I die.
Donald Trump should have handled the 2020 Presidential election like former President Richard Nixon handled his 1960 election defeat to former President JFK , see here
Trump should have publically conceded the next morning. Trump shouldn't have urged Republicans to be in a civil war state or to treat Joe Biden as a junta leader. Trump should have tallied over the electoral college vote. Trump should have accepted the results like Nixon did . Trump should have supported Joe Biden.
This would show that Donald Trump really put his country first. He should have publicly distanced himself from his followers who pushed for recounts in his own unique way.
I believe like that voting to overturn the 2020 US Presidental Election (ie state certified elections) would have been contrary to states rights and would have destroy the Electoral College forever. The Electoral college gives all of the power we need in terms of elections. States rights are something we have always advocated for.
Our founding fathers never wanted our Congress to be able to overturn state certified elections so overturning the verdict of the election is against the oath of the congresspeople.
Overturning the results would overturn states rights, and federalism which our founding fathers bestowed upon us. Moreover it would create chaos
We have to become a direct and participatory democracy so the electorate decides on policy initiatives without elected representatives as proxies and which citizens participate individually and directly in political decisions and policies that affect their lives.
This will make the need or desire to protest almost non existent as people will cause most of their political needs and wants implemented through direct and participatory democracy.
It is ok for people to question elections that a Republican wins like the 2000 and 2004 Presidential Elections, the Georgia governor race that Brian Kemp one, but if you question an election that a Democrat wins you are a threat to democracy or ruining peoples faith in democracy? Double standard? Please convince me that there is no double standard, because frankly it seems that there is a double standard
Wouldn’t it be funny if the RNC uses the 22nd amendment against Donald Trump, to stop him from running for President in 2024?
The January 6 Stop the Steal rioters did not cause Russia to invade Ukraine and anyone who says otherwise is a fool
The January 6 2021 Stop the Steal riots were not anywhere near as bad as 9/11 or the bombing of Pearl Harbor and they were not even remotely close to being ‘the darkest day in our nation’s history’.
Actually, come to think of it, January 6 was far worse than 9/11 and the bombing of Pearl Harbor. The US came within one of shake of those Qanon shamans staff becoming a fascist dictatorship run by Donald DRUMPF and his mafia stooge ADOLF Giuliani /s
I am not in the business of deciding or disputing what is the worst or most uniquely evil acts in human history on Earth by propping up specific examples of supreme, maximum evil
On Earth and on alien planets in other solar systems, galaxies and universes there have been countless mass killings, genocides, oppression, terrorist attacks etc in both numbers and savagery
The evident racism outlined here that was said to be done by the January 6 2021 Stop the Steal rioters should be reason enough for the MSM and politicians to go after the January 6 2021 rioters as harsh as they have
I am against amending the Insurrection Act of 1807. It is unneeded
My views on Left wingers (for left wing reasons) storming the Capital and attempting a coup’d tat can be found here
Even if we label January 6th as an ‘insurrection’, it was a small ‘insurrection’ that failed hilariously (I mean there was bunch of freaking rednecks running around the Capitol building LOL) .
The BLM protests on the other hand, brought out tens of millions and started a nationwide movement that brought significant policy changes to thousands of law enforcement agencies throughout the US, with hundreds of in the last year alone (including with body cams). Whether these changes in law enforcement work or are they the solution? See this section of my blog for more
I am worried that the crackdowns on rioters on January 6 will lead to a slippery slope that is used to shut down legit protests and dissent (i.e left wing, economic socialistic protests and dissent) in the future
The Trump extremists from the January 6 Stop the Steal riots have been treated not good in jail to way below ideally
Just because they are Trump extremists does not give the police the right to commit human rights abuses on them.
Even Bernie Sanders and Liz Warren feel the same way. We saw with and rightfully condemned the Islamaphobic horrors of Gitmo abuses , we need to at least look into these abuses more and if they exist counter them too. We don’t get to choose who deserves basic human rights and dignity.
I will not comment further on the identity, pursuit, arrest, charging, or actions of the individuals involved in the January 6 riots
Their legal battles over January 6 is the criminal justice element of the story as opposed to the broader political context.
I can see why some Left wingers and Democrats sympathize with the Trump extremists and see them as marginalized since the Trump extremists are treated as badly as marginalized groups were and still are treated (even though they brought it on themselves) .
I am not saying that it is wrong per say , since unlike those other marginalized groups , the Trump extremists are who they are by choice not nature. They have nobody to blame for their actions but themselves for putting themselves in those positions they were in
Not all right wing extremists are beyond hope (as Jon Kasich said at least a few Trump supporters might be redeemable) . No one is irredeemable
So since I am a compassionate Left winger and contrarian who loves to be countercultural against the Liberal 2.0 mainstream (opposite of the 1960s hippies), I can see where some sects of Left wingers/Left Centrists and Democrats who sympathize with those Trump extremists are coming from
So following those Left wingers/Left Centrists and Democrats who sympathize with those Trump extremists line of thinking, why couldn’t these Trump extremists be deradicalized like this article suggests? (as long as they are not deradicalized only to then become radicalized to be Liberal 2.0ers I would rather Trump extremists stay as they are than to become Liberal 2.0ers).
It wasn't long ago that our country demonized Muslims after 9/11, now they are doing it with Trump extremists I can’t help but see the similarities
It was great we did and continue to help Muslims not be stereotyped , discriminated against or hated, but if we don’t similarly help the Trump extremists become at least Center left would we be hypocrites?
Keep in mind, many Trump extremists are apparently what some people would call brainwashed or cultists (I wouldn't use strong words like those 2 words to describe them but whatever). Trump supporters don’t know better. They live in their own little fantasy worlds. So maybe these Trump extremists are brainwashed by Donald Trump .
Though same commentators like these commentators, downplay that ‘control’ Trump has over his supporters. I echo what former President Barack Obama said about relatively non extreme conservative voters being misled by voting for Donald Trump.
Trump supporters and the extreme right are dehumanized. They are cancelled (and they cancel back), shunned, insulted (not that they don’t bring that on themselves because they certainly do but still…) How much is too much? They are still humans.
A lot of people become radical right due to their emotional response to shame, guilt, frustration and alienation so that should be taken into account with extremists on the right
People who treat the extreme right like some progressives do, even though it might be more than somewhat justified makes me think they don’t really care about truly marginalized groups as much as I thought either.
If you hate some humans like some people hate the Right wing , you probably hate more than just the right wing somewhere in your heart. This feeds their us vs them attitude and creatives more grrrrrring
The vast majority of young Republicans have no idea what authentic American republicanism rooted in constitutional principles is all about and they should embrace that authentic American conservatism and ditch their brand of 'conservatism' or leave the party.
Comparing the 'Trump extremists' (ie the fringe members of the MAGA movement or MAGA movement itself) with Al Qaeda, ISIS and similar extremist terrorist groups seems very naïvely misguided , divisive , counterproductive, extremely ignorant , defaming , wrong and delegitimizing to both sides of that comparison
It is an insult to Al Qaeda and ISIS to be compared to Trump extremists. Al Qaeda and ISIS have legit grievances over their countries literally being occupied by neocon Imperialists and globalists through wars like Soviet-Afghanistan war, Iraq War, Afghanistan War and similar western interventions along with the west pitting Israel against their home countries (when both groups should be close) .
What if the MAGA trolls and radical right freaks are really like the Wildings from Game of Thrones where we think they are evil but they like the Wildings really aren’t as bad as we feared?
Trump extremists have imagined fake grievances made up in their minds due to them having too much of an imagination
Trump extremists may technically be domestic ‘terrorists’ (over zealous, SJW provocateurs or ruffians s better fitting than domestic terrorist) but they are not anywhere near as evil, bad or violent as ISIS, Al Qaeda and similar groups (despite the grievance thing I wrote above).
Instead, if the domestic terrorists of the Trump party have to be compared to some terrible group of people, then compare them to the Weather Underground, Code Pink, Earth Liberation Front, MS 13 , the Family ,Red Commando, IRA, and the hooligans who attend soccer (football) matches in Europe instead of comparing them to ISIS and Al Qaeda and similar groups.
I believe that the Hunter Biden laptop story is true and that there was a coverup with it on social media, IN THE MSM etc
Between Joe Biden openly smearing everyone who supports Donald Trump as basically evil (instead of the fringe , insufferable or violent Trump supporters and even those fringe and violent MAGA are more vulgarly and toxically right wing anti statist than what Joe describes them as) along with him giving a speech that no President should have to make (which having to give that type of speech as a President by its very nature is divisive and a tad enflaming) in August 2022 about Donald Trump and Trump supporters as threats to democracy (instead of the violent ,insufferable and fringe Trump supporters) was unhelpful and something that could sink his reelection chances
Even if Trump supporters are to blame, they are only partially to blame. Biden’s speech in late August should have been more about patriotism than partisanship .
Joe Biden was divisive, wrong and vile for calling people who are against same sex marriage, ‘homophobes’.You don’t insult, demean and trash people you don’t agree with. Contrast that hate speech from 2015 by Joe Biden to how a real President like Abraham Lincoln handled people on the other side . Though Biden privately hates Lincoln because Biden is a segregationist
Even Barack Obama respects people who disagree with him on gay marriage, as he showed when he criticized Hispanic Trump supporters
When Donald Trump was junta leader for all his uber Trump ups (i.e f**k ups, and there were so many Trump ups it would take the length of the Universe just to write out the most obvious ones), he never came even close to Biden's "everyone who doesn't vote for me a threat" rhetoric
What exactly did Trump do to split USA? He was constantly saying that Americans should be the first priority for the US, which is naive and ignorant but not divisive (only divisive in Trump divided Americans from their International allies but mot dividing Americans within the US from each othrr)
I realize Biden backtracked a bit here but Trump also backtracked in August 2017 after he praised neofascist Charlottesville alt right trolls and in both cases you cannot undo what you originally said), the Democrats and the FBI dehumanizing and defaming concerned parents at school board meetings as ‘domestic terrorists’, the FBI’s civil rights abuses, trying to make it easy for kids and even little kids to be Transgender including ‘mutilating’ their bodies and blocking their puberty (even without their parents permission), the deplatforming, censorship, cancelling of anyone who doesn’t have what the Liberal 2.0s decide through their unlimited God like acknowledge is an ‘acceptable view’ (which is partly due to right wingers canceling Liberal 2.0ers but two wrongs do not make a right) makes me depressed and lose faith in our country and our world. Something has to change
Joe Biden, Democrats and Liberals 2.0ers are Authoritarians on the political compass (as are nearly every American politician on both sides, Democrat and Republican). Trump supporters are generally not a threat to democracy no more than Muslims are a threat to democracy. Trump supporters are more of a threat to our patience more than anything
The fact that Trump and his supporters are perceived by them to be extremists is not really an excuse. Just like it is no excuse for the ‘far right’ or radical right become like they are due to Liberalism 2.0 and economic troubles pushing them further right (The alt-right is primarily a movement of spoiled rich babies who turned to hate)
It really seems that the Democrats and Liberal 2.0ers are pushing it or even have crossed the line. Trump and his brand bring out the worst in people including their targets like the Democrats I guess or is it the other way around, chicken or egg thing?
I feel sorry for Joe Biden for being driven (at least in his mind) to his Anti MAGA speeches and comments by some bad apple Trump supporters
The Liberal 2.0 faction of the Democrats don’t respect or trust this country to do right and they demonize and delegitimize anyone they don’t agree with and I do not see how doing so is a positive or helpful thing.
Liberal 2.0ers adopt views to paint non Liberal 2.0ers as bigots when they refuse to go along with said views through open persecution like you would see in Russia
How can any sane person see all of the above and below things they are doing and not see this? Biden is almost as bad as Trump if not as bad.
You would have to be high on Liberalism 2.0 (Democrat or Republican) not to agree with at least a little of what I am saying here. Whatever happened ‘when they go low we go high?’
I realize that Joe Biden and MAGA didn’t get off to the best start in January 2021 but that is no excuse for such populist and divisive rhetoric from Joe Biden over the radical right (even though I know Joe Biden took back some of that rhetoric later).
A lot of Trump supporters and radical Right wingers become that way due to the Liberalism 2.0 replacing Liberalism and and being the dominant ideology in theDemocrat party or due to economic struggles (like recessions etc). It is no excuse but it provides context and nuance.
I honestly believe that Right Wingers would be happier being Left Wing (the real Left Wing- to the left of the Democrat Party) than they would be as Right Wingers, Blue Dogs-New Democrats or Liberal 2.0ers/Democrats
The Right wingers have to realize if they cannot have a society right of Ronald Reagan, they might as well push for our society to be Left wing (left of the Democrat party), Far left or Post Left instead. Because that is better for Right wingers than them being dragged kicking and screaming to a through Liberalism 2.0 to a far Liberalism 2.0 society
This is because the answers to Right Wingers concerns are found in the Left Wing (to the Left of the Democrat party). American right wingers in particular only have one option besides the Right wing, and that are the Center wing (Blue Dogs-New Democrats, Liberal 2.0, what they call ‘RINOs’)
Or what right wingers think are right wing concerns are really Left wing concerns (to the Left of the Democrat party) but since that real Left wing isn’t mainstream , Right wingers wrongly assume those concerns they have are right wing concerns
Like the radical Right wing could find the true solution to their issue of key inequalities between people to be found on the Left . The Left’s sees this issue as artificial and negative, and that solution by the Left involves making sure that these key inequalities between people are either defended or left alone by the state
But the American Right wing has never given much thought let alone gave a chance to the real Left Wing (to the left of the Democrat Party).
The Left is pro gun, non interventionist (in general), anti statist , wants to get rid of the state (Right wingers are anti gov nowadays), anti corporatist, either class reductionist or better balances class and identity than the Democrats do, anti idpol/ downplays idpol (non woke or much less woke) including wanting to abolish id categories (no id cats no wokeness or idpol) , as mentioned here (economic hypothesis section) Left wing economics are much better for Right wingers than Democrat Party/Liberalism 2.0 economics . Moreover the Left wing is pro LGBTQ in a way that can cure right wing homophobia/transphobia better than Liberalism 2.0 pro LGBTQ ways can
Vaush deradicalizes Right wingers (as he did with Hunter Avellone), so he would echo what I wrote above
Ask any Left wing person who deradicalized a right winger to become Left wing and they will expand on why Right Wingers embracing Left Wing views instead of Center wing (Blue Dogs-New Democrats, Liberal 2.0, what they call ‘RINOs’) views is better for them and fixes and cures the underlying issues plaguing Right wingers . Left Wing solutions to Right Wing problems
Right Wingers are left wingers sometimes argue for the same exact aims (and thus agree) but in different ways and without even realizing they are arguing for the same exact aims and agreeing on said issues
I have some ideas how to handle Trump extremists in a few places in this blog that give a more nuanced and laid out of what I wrote above.
But I am just musing. I could care less what happens to Trump’s supporters. I am not their savior
Even if I am as Anti Trump as Rosie O’Donnell is and I view MAGA as negatively as the redditors from ‘MAGA is fascism’ subreddits do (which might be the case) I will never be as Anti MAGA as the person in this video was (and see my reactions to that there)
I would accept Radical right wingers working with us to defeat Liberalism 2.0 but only after we deradicalized them like mentioned here and or after they are reprogrammed to be Antiracists .
I am accepting of former Radical right who have moved left to be as liberal/progressive as Destiny , Vaush, Joe Rogan ,Haz, Jackson Hinkle, Bari Weiss, Tim Dillion, Michael Malice, Hunter Avellone ,Enough Commie Spam redditors, Adam Something, Greyzone’s conception of Alexander Reid Ross.
They also are our allies in defeating Liberalism 2.0 if they moved that leftward. See here for more
I am tolerant of former Radical right wingers who have moved as left and became as liberal as, Tim Pool, Pewpewpie and they can be our allies in defeating Liberalism 2.0.
However despite moving left they would have to fight against Liberalism 2.0 separate from us like how Leon Trotsky said that Social Democrats could be allies of Trotskyists in defeating Fascism but they would have to fight against Fascism separate from Trotskyists
I even can put up with (only when they are on their best behavior) former Right wing extremists who move as left as Sargon of Akkad, JD Vance, Steven Crowder, Tomi Lahren, Ben Shapiro , Mark Dice, Jordan Peterson and Clint Eastwood.
If they want to defeat Liberalism 2.0 like we do, after moving that leftward, I give them my blessing to do so but they can do so without our help or assistance .
Though maybe via autonomous ANTIFA like black box Anti Liberal 2.0 coalitions only if they move as left as above, they can fight with us against Liberalism 2.0 but not officially. This is to avoid being tied to their extremism even though they moved that ‘leftward’
If a reformed Pim Fortuyn list, or a Libertarian faction of the Alt Lite had ambiguous ties to leftist groups in Europe and either Russia or a similar anti West country invaded that European country that contained those leftist groups with ambiguous ties to PFL or a Libertarian faction of the Alt Lite and I deemed the invasion of said country wrong, I would support the leftist groups in those invaded countries with ambiguous ties to a reformed PFL or a Libertarian faction of the Alt Lite (but not the PFL or the Libertarian faction of the Alt Lite themselves) the same way that Democrats and Progressives in the West support Azoz Battallion in the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
So Liberal 2.0ers say that Donald Trump and his supporters are fascists and authoritarians.
But some Liberal 2.0ers say that Trump and his supporters are extremely anti statist. So how can Donald Trump and his supporters be both fascist authoritarians AND radical anti statists at the same time? Isn’t that a really big contradiction? Answer: the more fringe Trump suppoters and their enablers are really crypto Anarcho semi fascists
But Trump supporters are technically ‘Fascists’, as are all Republicans and the majority of Democrats along with everyone else on Earth who is against Socialism
The only technical definition of Fascism is Militant Anti Socialism. Anyone on Earth who is opposed to Socialism even though they live in a capitalist society ,is technically a fascist.
The entire political purpose of Fascism is to suppress Socialism. All Fascist movements were founded on Anti Socialism. All Fascist movements in history actively fought Socialism.
Socialism is the progressive response to the natural and inevitable collapse of capitalism. On the other hand, Fascism is the reactionary response to that collapse.Anyone who opposes socialism in the 21st century is technically a Fascist.
Anti fascism has the advantage that it is not defined positively, which means that you don't have to do the work of articulating a political program, or what that might appear like in the current period.
Anti fascism is defined negatively and it's defined against things that are self-evidently bad. And at the same time, those things which are bad are also understood in Liberal 2.0 terms; the fascists are hostile to diversity, they are repressive of minorities, they are racist and exclusionary -- all of which are obviously true, but which also misconstrue the historical purpose of fascism in the 20th century, which was an overriding hostility to the worker's movement. I am against any forces which are hostile to the worker's movement
This Liberal 2.0 framing of fascism helps to explain its appeal: its absence of content, or of content that is given by a type of easy Liberalism 2.0 which can be taken in from the contemporary status quo and without requiring any person to make any real effort to put forward a political vision of the future.
Though we cannot understate that Fascism is still an extreme right wing form of Capitalist rule. Fascist ideologies are still present in various forms in most capitalist in the majority of Capitalist countries and in the former colonies that are ruled by puppet regimes.
In the US, Fascism is closely linked to white supremacy and it shows itself in a lot of institutions and cultural tendencies. Fascism is the ruling class’s last resort, which it uses to try to smash all working-class organizations. (workers.org/fascism/)
Communists have fought and continue to fight against Fascism
Marxist/Marxian thought is materialist and dialectical. Jungianism and Campbellian mythologies appeal to some kind of "intrinsic" fortified structure of human thought (they commonly refer to these as "archetypes"). It's quasi-religious due to it not being a material thing.
The archetype only can be represented as a type of idea and is thus idealist. It's not by chance that Jordan Peterson tries and tries to reinsert religion as this type of structuring thought process (JP’s debate with Matt Dillahunty is one example).
That's fully opposite of how us Marxists/Marxians see our world; we don't subscribe to the notion of human nature or whatever since we think that's part of religious ideology.
Humans are social beings, by their very nature, and so there is no human outside of our society. Feral children are qualifiedly different from socialized people; our processes of thought are not outside of society and ordained by some invisible nature or by Christians or Qanon , but instead structured by our the relationship we have to society (typically a working relationship).
Since society is made up of people but society structures people, we take a viewpoint of the development that we refer to as the "dialectic".
Which is a viewpoint that individuals and society are inseparable, and that their evolving relationship composes the reality that we really experience. An implicit conclusion we reach is that nothing lasts forever, there is no actual separation between man and nature, we should not be our own Gods, and that social forms are dependent and evolutionary.
Capitalism paints itself as a logical, necessary state of being but a dialectical view of historical development shows Capitalism to be an expression of the relations between people and productive methods that is constantly becoming more and more different.
I like other Marxists/Marxians refer to obscurantism, mythology, and metaphysics as being fascist-adjacent since these looks to obscure the reality of dialectical materialism; where Marxists like me see a class relation, mysticists like Jordan Peterson try to assert some "natural hierarchy".
Fascism in the eyes of us Marxists/Marxians, is the effort of the ruling class to assert an ideal, whether it is natural hierarchy, racial hierarchy, etc in order to subvert the class struggle by setting up a fake basis for collaboration between classes (maintaining racial, national, or "natural" hierarchies).
I counter typical reactionary rhetoric in the following way
Reactionary rhetoric: Natural, non-tyrannical hierarchies have existed for hundreds of millions of years.
My response: It is a age old fallacy to project the concept of a societal hierarchy on to non-societal organisms .It was even seen as old back in the 1920s! Bukharin sums this type of argumentation up and why the reason that it is fallacious in Historical Materialism.
To guard the "sacred traditions" is an imperative that the bourgeoisie finds necessary. This is the reason, in particular, that phenomena that owe their origin to a certain historical stage are eternal, to have been handed down by their conception of God, and thus are insurmountable. We shall list three examples.
I. The State. We know now that the state is a class organization, that there is no way to be a state without classes, that a classless state is as likely as a round square, that the state couldn’t emerge until a precise stage in human evolution was reached.
However hear the bourgeois historians, even the greatest of them! Eduard Meyer states: "How far the formation of organic groups can proceed in the case of animals, I often had occasion to observe, thirty years ago, in Constantinople, in the case of the street dogs; they were organized in sharply distinct quarters, into which they would admit no outside dogs, and every evening all the dogs of each quarter gather in an empty lot for a meeting of about half an hour, in which they bark loudly. We may therefore actually speak of dog states of definite outline in space." (Eduard Meyer: Geschichte des Altertums, vol. i, first half, 3d ed., p.7,)
It will thus come as no shock to us to see Eduard Meyer accepting the state as an essential property of human society. If even dogs have states like Eduard Meyer mentioned above (and so, clearly, laws, justice, etc.), how can humans get along without one?
II. Capital. On the topic the bourgeois economists put out the same idiosyncrasies. It is very known that capital has not existed forever, nor has capitalism either.
Capitalists and workers both are a phenomenon of historical growth, and in no way eternal. But the bourgeois scholars each time described capital as if it - and additionally the capitalist regime - had existed from the beginning of time.
And so, Torrens stated: "In the first stone which he (the savage) flings at the wild animal he pursues, in the stick that he seizes to strike down the fruit which hangs beyond his reach, we see the appropriation of one article for the purpose of aiding in the acquisition of another, and thus discover the origin of capital." (Marx Capital, vol. i, Chicago, 1915, p.205, footnote.) The monkey beating nuts out of a tree is therefore a capitalist (but without workers !).
Our current economists do not fare much better; as to prove the eternity of the power of the state, these impoverished wretches are obliged to supply their dogs with the capabilities of Lloyd George and their minions with those of the Rothschilds!
III. Imperialism. Bourgeois researchers and academics who give thought to this question commonly identify imperialism as the effort at augmenting within all forms of life. Obviously, imperialism is the financial capital policy, and financial capital itself did not emerge as a dominating economic form until the late 19th Century. The bourgeois researchers and academics didn’t care that much about that
In order to show that "things have ever been so", they promote the chicken which lifts up kernels into an imperialist, because it "annexes" the kernels! The dog state, the capitalist elephant and the imperialist chicken are an outstanding implication of the nature of modern day bourgeois science.
Lobster thought has really been BTFO for about nearly 100 years but Marxist works, believe it or not, are not in reality taught at higher learning institutions that are allegedly responsible for what some call postmodernist ‘neomarxism’. Those institutions are liberal 2.0 capitalist indoctrination centers
Are all hierarchies invalid?
We need to establish what a "hierarchy" actually is. As a method to organize society and getting things done, electing leaders isn’t the end of the world and has its uses. Equating that too much or overtly with stuff like oppression on the basis of class, gender, etc can be seen as an argumentative sleight of hand.
Mythology predates capitalism, so how is it fascist?
Obviously it predates it, that's the reason that it's mythology. A principle part of Marxism is that people like me study the relations of stuff primarily.
Zeus himself isn’t a fascist, since he doesn't exist. Believing in Zeus is not a fascist act, it only makes you foolish.
Mythology like mentioned above is different than using an ahistorical revival and misapplication of mythological beliefs to attempt to seek a sort of deeper truths about immutable human characteristics. Proclaiming we are alike as we were as Incas, Ancient Greeks, (or fill in the blank) etc and not able to get out of our inherent nature is at least somewhat fascist since the goal of fascism is to halt progress and preserve class rule.
Put in simple terms "immutable human characteristics" do not exist because such things as "human characteristics" in a vacuum do not exist; human characteristics involve a societal relationship and society changes.
There are obviously problematic elements on the radical Right. This includes the Alt Right (like the Unite extreme Right right wing trolls including Richard Spencer and Jason Kessler). They are so extreme they give Republicans and even some non Liberal 2.0ers a bad name.
They also use Liberal 2.0 tactics (like digital ‘activism’, cancel culture’ etc) to spread their hate
The radical right’s antidemocratic stances are chilling and horrible. They are against democracy for the wrong reasons (fascist, right wing reasons) instead of for defensible reasons (Left wing or post left reasons) .
I am Anti Alt Right. I want to destroy the Alt Right and prevent them from doing anymore damage
These Alt Right trolls like all Right wing neofascists/Right wing Fascists are a threat to abolishing hierarchies , patriarchies and creating a truly egalitarian world . So they must be taken out
These Alt Right trolls also make our country a worse off, depressing, offensive and an unlivable place and so they must be dealt with countered and fired (Apprentice reference). I am a resistant to the Alt Right
The Alt right should clean their rooms and mouths out with soap and get wasted instead of being trolls.
Their views are disturbing to even the word disturbing. They spend too much time online. The alt right needs to open themselves up to opportunities that they wouldn't materially be aware of (like taking a long walk off of a short cliff)
The Right wing Neofascists/Right Wing Fascists in general are also a threat also due to the Neoliberal Autocracy/Revolutionary Regressive elements of Right Wing Neofascism/Right Wing Fascism so those Right Wing Neofascists/Right wing fascists must be confronted , bashed and abolished
I try to fix the bigger picture (as seen in this blog post, and throughout my blog) rather than fix or go after naughty Right wingers directly (since they are a symptom of bigger issues) to help fix them
However, I am a Partisan type of Antifascist and I will fight and destroy all Right wing Neofascists and Right wing Fascists in the near future if and when a Civil War breaks out between the Democrat base and Republican base (or something just short of a Civil War breaks out) just like the Partisan Antifascists did in WWII to the German and Italian fascists .
I swear on my mother’s life on this pledge
This link provides the most effective way to defeat Right winger extremists and Trump supporters and I might consider that as a last ditch effort against them.
Though I much prefer forcing Trump supporters to self deport as an alternative effective way .
Right wing extremists have no right to live in the US .
How can a right wing extremist be given the right to live in the US, and with the people, while acting normal but at the same time walking in the street and trying to do hate crimes or political violence against people? If right wing extremists are that angry about the US, they could theoretically get the heck out of the US
However if we can create a better world without hierarchies, patriarchies, classes and with economic equality (as seen in this post and throughout this blog), maybe that will liberate those right wing extremists and fascists of their hate too.
Right Wing extremism and Fascism is not an inextricable part of human biology, it is a reaction to material conditions that ideally would not exist in an anarchist society.
The same is also true for most forms of right wing extremism. They are very often born from communities that are poverty stricken and bad education, and grow within a cultural echo chamber of people similarly suffering the same ailments. So if we reduce poverty, improve education, and thus we reduce extremism. Stuff like the Norway 2011 mass killing never happens
The Global times has some interesting things to say about the ‘far right’ .
Similarly, according to an FBI source, Russian agents foment racial divisions within the US . See here and here
Just to be clear, I completely disavow the Alt Right, what the MSM calls ‘far right’/Radical Right/Right wing extremists, and Fascists/Neofascists and anyone else on their end of the political spectrum
