    If you think that populism is a viable tool that can be used for good and then discarded, one that won’t be immediately turned on us the first chance you get, then you’re just a useful idiot and I’m genuinely sorry I called you subhuman. But there is no benevolent populism, and any attempt to push democrats towards being more of a reactionary anti-trump party than they already are will severely backfire. Democrats will not wield the power of unquestioning loyalty and rabid antagonism any “better” than nazis do, because democrats aren’t more virtuous than republicans, they just play a more helpful, less harmful angle. That changes the moment they realize their base is apathetic towards/actively craving genocide









  • Neoliberals rely on fascists to exist, there is no collaborating with them. Democrats will literally always side with the far right over the even remotely left, and will always collaborate with Republicans and recognize them as a legitimate party rather than a legitimate cancer that needs to be stopped. Neolibs (libs in general really) are the left wing of fascism, and can absolutely never be relied upon to fight fascism, because they will always work with fascists against the left until fascists kill them all










  • Understandable 🐕 China’s and really any country’s government obviously isn’t 100% bad or strictly worse than another, Idk a lot about Mao but I think killing a bunch of landlords and providing housing super super cheap is pretty awesome. Sorry if I was being super aggressive or anything, I just see a lot of people acting like bc dishonest western propaganda about socialist countries (and even just countries that oppose the US) exists that means they’re utopias and their government can do no wrong. It’s def more complex than hardliners on either side want to pretend it is. I wish I knew how to do more reliable research on anything around China, there’s good lessons to learn there, but it feels like there are almost no primary sources that aren’t CCP or western propaganda
