@kentborg @emilymbender This is like the give us time to mourn argument. It’s not a good time when fascism is on the rise, and why should we when it isn’t. When exactly is the right time and why did we let it continue?

@kentborg @emilymbender Most Americans like capitalism, although they can’t define it, or socialism, or name the vice president at any given time and vote against their best interests. No way to change it, let’s just keep doing that. Fighting capitalism is fighting fascism. It has to be a continuous fight, always, continually, non-stop. @GwladysPendlebury @emilymbender What are acceptable outcomes from this coming federal election? @kentborg @emilymbender Kent doth protest too much, methinks. Sounds like you are pro capitalism and just trolling leftists. There are many ways of fighting capitalism including education, activism and at a minimum not actively working against those who do. The ‘it’s all about voting’ is a tired liberal narrative. The Dem love of polite racism is exhausting, and disgusting. @GwladysPendlebury @emilymbender That sounds like Trump winning is okay with you. You live in a deluded luxury if you think this is an option. Me? I'm willing to cooperate with conservative capitalists, if they believe in democracy. @kentborg @emilymbender There you go again with the voting bit. Did you know you can walk, chew gum, vote against Trump, protest police brutality, be dissatisfied with the policies of the politicians you voted for, and educate those around you about economic exploitation all at the same time? When you vote for someone you aren’t bound to worship them. It’s not, or it shouldn’t be, a cult. @GwladysPendlebury @emilymbender We can win elections or lose elections. Make this about capitalism and we will lose. @kentborg @emilymbender The original post said nothing about elections. You are obsessed with elections. It’s a self-own on your part that you are willing to work with conservative capitalism which is the economic basis of fascism. @GwladysPendlebury @emilymbender Elections determine a lot. We have a big one coming up. @kentborg @emilymbender You aren’t fooling anyone trying to shame leftists, when leftists have been the ones warning against fascism for 50 years. We see you. |
@GwladysPendlebury @emilymbender I'm not saying don't fight facism! It's the number one priority!
Not letting our current fascist party take more power is the prerequisite to everything else. That means winning the next election.
Americans think they like capitalism. If we make the next election a referendum on capitalism, we will LOSE. It doesn't matter how convinced you are, it matters whether we have convinced the electorate, and we have not.
