Under what definition of fascism do Democrats qualify?
The fact that one of those two parties will win does not mean we need to accept the DNC as a valid representative of the working classes, as they fix nothing and maintain imperialism.
They may or may not fix anything, but the RNC will make things worse. The RMC has enabled a fascist takeover that is stripping rights from LGBT people, spreading contagious diseases with antivax policy, abusing and shooting people dead in the street in the name of border security, initiating a coup in Venezuela by kidnapping a national leader, murdering sailors with drone strikes, and denying the basic civil liberties of millions of residents. You can tell me all day about how bad the DNC is but at the end of the day they are the least worst choice.
Every fascist government in history has taken power in large part because the opposition was too busy fighting amongst themselves. There need to be only to sides right now - fascism and anti-fascism.
Both the DNC and GOP are far-right parties of genocidal imperialists
And one of these will be running the country in 2028. Forming a coalition to fight them is a great long term goal, bit it takes time and momentum.
We need to stop treating capitalist-controlled and run elections as our primary political outlet
As of September 2025, 54% have a positive view of capitalism compared to 39% with a positive view of socialism. Those numbers are converging, but we have at least a decade or two before they cross. We just don’t have the numbers to pull it off.
revolutionary working class parties.
Unions. We need to build unions. When a majority of people see unions working for them against the capitalists, then they will be ready to accept something new.
Oh look, a meme HELPING fascism.
Meanwhile people living in literal deserts are draining the water table to grow lush green lawns and fill swimming pools …
Chance the “Socialism” label on the bus to “Fascism” and the comic would still work.
“I can only say that the friendship that we have for this nation, the respect and the admiration we have for the people of this nation, their courage, their tenacity, their firmness in the face of very great odds, is one that makes us proud to stand with Israel, as we have in the past in times of trouble.”
- Richard Nixon 1974
“In the Middle East, in particular, a strong, credible America remains the best guarantor of Israel’s integrity and survival as a free nation.”
Ronald Reagan 1982
The only deflection is pretending that what is happening in Gaza is Biden’s idea and not a continuation of 70 years of policy held by both parties.
Do you think Biden is the prime minister of Israel?
Go ahead, tell me how Trump and the Republicans are better than the Democrats. I’m sure any explanation you give won’t make it glaringly obvious don’t belong to any minority groups.
“Authoritarianism is a political system characterized by the rejection of political plurality, the use of strong central power to preserve the political status quo, and reductions in democracy, separation of powers, civil liberties, and the rule of law.”
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authoritarianism
Democrats do not reject political plurality.
Democrats do not reduce democracy (rather they increase it by defending voting rights).
Democrats protect the separation of powers, civil liberties, and the rule of law.
Democrats do not fit the definition of nationalism, let alone ultranationalism.
They do not hold strong beliefs in hierarchy, oppose democracy, or oppose egalitarianism. That’s just an outright lie.
Let’s go with Umberto Eco’s definition since it is well known and it is numbered for easy reference.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ur-Fascism#Overview
The only part that might apply to Democrats is #6.
The system as it stands does not support third parties and Democrats are the only hope we have of changing that system without massive bloodshed and suffering.
Trump and his fascist goons are worse. Period. End of discussion.
You really should look up the definition of fascist, because you are using it wrong.
The only ones that want us to believe that are the fascists. If they can keep us fighting each other, we won’t be able to fight them.
