fascism is a state corporatist, nationalist, reactionary ideology, fundamentally. any ideology that falls under this umbrella can be reasonably called fascism, including italian fascism, german national socialism, and spanish fascism
I'm serious here. WHAT THE FUCK IS FASCISM? THIS IS AN HONEST AND GENUINE QUESTION. NOBODY SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT FASCISM EVEN MEANS AND JUST SAY "Something i like/ i don't like" DEPENDING ON THE PERSON? DOES FASCISM EVEN EXIST?

fascism is a highly adaptable ideology due to its reactionary and nationalistic nature; it may look very different across different countries, but always contains the full interlinking of state and capitalist power in suppression of working class movements

fascism will generally tend towards imperialism, irredentism, traditionalism, and machismo. it creates chaos with gangs and militias, then positions itself as the party of order to amass popular support

corporations will do everything possible to neuter the greatest mass communication device in history (the internet) so that it can’t be used to organize against them
Microsoft has filed a patent for an AI system that could rewrite what people say during livestreams in real time. It could change words depending on who's watching, taking into account their age, location, and language. The idea is to clean up broadcasts by removing filler words, censoring swearing, or even replacing certain words. The AI could also adjust the speaker's lip movements so viewers wouldn't notice anything had been changed.

“the current generation” aren’t the ones sanitizing it
Not even the Soldier in the Alleyway dies anymore. I don't understand why everything needs to be so watered down and sanitized, is the current generation that Lobotomized?

tapping the sign
American liberals & the American "left" refuse to see Israel as an instrument through which the US subjugates West Asia because any acknowledgement that their country's interests & the logic of capital are realised in colonised regions through openly exterminatory violence runs

Liberals have the misconception that Israel controls America because they don't want to admit that it's the other way around

There is always another election, another lesser evil, and another reason to defer the development of proletarian independence. That independence becomes a secondary concern, perpetually displaced by the immediate priorities of bourgeois electoralism.

The party that sent missiles and bombs week after week for two years and oversaw 99% of the Gaza genocide's death toll and turned the territory into a wasteland and still supports Israel won. Wow. Change is coming

the vast majority of russians were illiterate peasants, infant mortality was through the roof, and the working class lived in terrible conditions. the bolsheviks not only built a better economy quicker by every metric, but also made everyone’s lives better
The reality: Communists destroyed the Russian economy and derailed the very successful industrialization under Nicholas II. There was literally no reason for a 15-year gap of terror and mass murder, and then having to play catch-up with even more terror and mass murder

there isn’t a single metric by which the soviets weren’t better than *every other period* in russian history

holy shit ty jerome is gonna carry the grizzlies to a chip
Every NBA champion since 2001 finished the regular season inside this Title Zone. At least +3.3 points per 100 possessions better than average, with no real hole on offense or defense. Two weeks in, 10 teams are in it. History says about half will still be there in April.

marx believed a peaceful revolution was maybe possible under extreme circumstances which only existed in the brief period of history he experienced and that STILL doesn’t mean he thought you could vote liberals into office and achieve socialism
Massive cope. If Marx was alive today you guys would call him a liberal. Bro said peaceful revolution was possible, fervently opposed organizing around ideological unity, and personally wrote a letter to Lincoln praising him. You guys are anarchists who LARP as Marxists

the idea of a “peaceful” revolution hinged on the bourgeoisie not actually holding total state power yet in some countries and therefore being susceptible to mass movements without violence. those conditions no longer exist in any capitalist nation

marx praised lincoln for waging a war to crush the power of rural landowners and end slavery, something modern leftists ALSO praise him for but with more nuance. the insistence that marx agreed with modern-day demsocs is pure opportunism

It was never about efficacy. Sidious doesn't need Anakin there to deal with tougher Jedi. He can keeping dumping clones into the temple until the job is done. He sends Anakin primarily as a test of loyalty. If Anakin will do this atrocity, he will do anything. But also, this+
