So I guess that’s a no-go on your part, eh?

Don’t worry… I’m nice, so I’ll give you two more tries.

No. You can prove it by providing one example of an “apolitical” community.

Shouldn’t be too hard for you, eh?

How far along the liberal-to-fascist pipeline are you, liberal?

Oh, look… a liberal has shown up to co-opt MLK.

Yawn.

Americans went for a second helping at the trough of fascism.

The US has been pro-fascist long, long before Mussolini gave it a name.

At least they learned from their mistake, unlike the US.

If Brazil had learned from it’s mistake it WOULDN’T HAVE ALLOWED A FASCIST INTO POWER, genius.

Brazil is a good world citizen.

Uhhh, did you forget that Brazil was being run by a fascist war criminal just a short while ago?

Because there was never anything communist about these states in any way whatsoever.

Communism is a state (as in a social, political and economic condition, not a government). None of these states ever reached this condition, and, therefore, was never communist. And, one could argue, that their development literally went the opposite way to what could be called communist with a straight face. As the anarchist Bakunin famously said, “the people’s boot is still a boot.”

This is why the Maoist-types call this shit “democratic centralism,” which is essentially just double-speak for “what the party says goes.”

This does not make the idea of communism invalid - but it’s still as perfectly vague as ever, unfortunately.

They won’t.

It’s like MLK said - the white liberal will always prefer “a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice.”

That’s the whole reason they didn’t bat an eyelid when Neo-Nazis and KKK-boys were marching under open police protection back in 2016 but collectively lost their shit when antifa showed up to physically confront them.

So, he doesn’t understand gender binaries, but he perfectly understands and internalizes the liberal myth that pig exists for the sake of “justice?”

This is why the idea of a Star Trek “future” is so damn creepy to me.

What can I say? The anime porn isn’t doing it for me any more.

One of many. And we do it for free, too.

No, I’m not. And yet people still invite me to theirs.

I needed an ELI5 really.

Liberals essentially cover for both capitalists and fascists. See, capitalist and fascist ideology are very unpopular on their own, so liberals come up with all kinds of ways to pretend that rich people owning everything is good for everyone (capitalism) or pretending that more police repression means more safety (fascism).

Liberalsm essentially acts as the pretend-friendly “facade” ideology of this unholy trio - so yes, it’s simply coherent for leftists to despise liberalism.

The very last line is redundant. If you don’t know by now what the critical role fascism plays in the liberal order is, I don’t know what to tell you.

Lol! What misandry?

Uhh isn’t progressing to electric cars… science progressing to help solve the issue?

No. It isn’t.

It’s capitalism shifting their private transport scam from an energy source that they exploited the living crap out off to another that they haven’t mismanaged into the ground yet.

Remember - they didn’t throw Martin Skhreli into rich-guy’s prison because he caused thousands of people to die by raising the prices on lifesaving medicines out of reach of poor folk… no, no, no, they threw him into rich guy’s prison because he embezzled some of his fellow rich parasites’ money.

The way it looks is the way it is.

as it is unrealistic to have a referendum for every single decision

Oh, there was no decision here… Germany has been supporting Israel’s ongoing genocide for a very, very long time now. Enabling Israel’s white supremacist genocide is no less a matter of policy in Germany than it is in the US - and none of you will ever get to vote on it, just like USians don’t get to vote on it in any way, shape or form.

Let us be very clear… knowingly enabling genocide is no different than perpetrating genocide oneself - and Germany endorsing Israel in their genocidal project makes it blatantly clear that Germany is as fundamentally white supremacist and imperialist today as Germany was when it perpetrated it’s first genocide in Namibia. It doesn’t matter that the people signing the papers are wearing overpriced designer-label suits instead of grey uniforms, and it doesn’t matter that the politicians are flashing liberal pretend-smiles for the cameras instead of throwing fascist tantrums from a podium. It’s all the exact same white supremacism still at work.

There have been multiple demonstrations against Israel’s actions

Yeah… I saw. And the fascist goon squads were there, too - to perform their true function and ensure that actual democracy doesn’t threaten the precious status quo while it’s hard at work enabling genocide.

lot of people who think that Palestine should be blown up.

Isn’t it an amazing coincidence that the biggest parties in every (so-called) “liberal democracy” are almost always regurgitating the exact same narratives that rich people themselves want regurgitated?

It’s almost like… actual democracy isn’t compatible with a society where a small, rich elite gets to dictate what everybody believes, eh?

Also one question, are you actually from Germany

No. I’m from South Africa… if you must know.

But what does this have to do with democracy?

I hate to be the one to break it to you - “liberal democracy” is about as “democratic” as the Soviet Union was “socialist.” Liberalism, capitalism and imperialism is violently incompatible with any society that can be described as democratic with a straight face - and always has been.

If the elected parties fund a war, morally correct or not, it is still democracy as they were chosen.

Did Germans collectively agree to this genocide that is being funded in their name? Do they even really know what is being done in their name?

No?

Then there’s absolutely nothing democratic about it, is it?
