Fascism appears when people are poor and are persuaded that their problems are because of some minority group like immigrants or trans folk.

bzzzt not quite. You’re thinking of the immediate background, not the underlying causes. Capitalist decay results in the Bourgeoisie appealing to the Petite Bourgeoisie as a form of collaboration against the lower classes. Capitalist Decay is the key here, it’s a desparate attempt to turn the clock back. Capitalism will continue to decay under Biden, ergo fascism will get stronger, which is why Leftism is the only path against fascism, or force.

I think that Trump is being honest when he says he’ll be dictator on day one, and I think Nikki Hayley is very sincerely calling for the eradication of the Palestinian people when she writes “finish them” on a bomb.

I agree, these are horrible people, and I want liberals to side with Leftists against them.

I genuinely think that the fascists strongly want people who care to not vote, and you’re joining them in their fight to take power by arguing against voting for the only non fascist that could win the election.

See, this is silly. Biden can’t win the election, and he’s also supporting the rise of fascism, standing idly by while conditions worsen and fascism grows. Far-right violence increased under Biden. This trend carried over from an increase under Trump, Biden did not reverse the trend because he did nothing to address the root cause.

Every day you pretend that voting Biden makes things worse for Gazans than not voting for Biden is a day you spent working to bring about fascism in America and the deaths of even more Palestinians. Stop it. It matters.

I really wish you could see a mirror. Biden has helped obliterate 180,000 Palestinian men, women, and children. This is not stopping under Biden, you’re just telling the victims to bear with it because that’s acceptable to you. Organize on the ground, quit supporting fascism and the Biden Regime.

Bzzzt. Wrong! Wake up! Quit supporting Trump and the actual fascist regime he plans. Look up project 2025. Believe him when he says he’ll be dictator on day one. Get your head out of your textbook and put a mark in the one box that can stop the cristofascist takeover of America, you know, for the party that don’t write “finish them” on Israeli bombs.

Project 2025 is happening under Biden, you don’t need Trump in office for that. Trans rights are crumbling and genocide is happening.

Get your head out of your textbook and put a mark in the one box that can stop the cristofascist takeover of America, you know, for the party that don’t write “finish them” on Israeli bombs.

Gotcha, I’ll vote for PSL.

On another note, does the fact that Biden’s bombs don’t have “finish them” written on it mean that the Palestinians blown up by them don’t have their feelings hurt? Is that why optics matters for you, when the end result is dead Palestinian children with US-supplied bombs?

What Trump wants to happen in this election is exactly what you are advocating to happen in this election. You support the alt right agenda in America, and pretending that Roe v Wade is anything other than engineered by Trump is a lie.

Lefty Memes

!leftymemes@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Create post

An international (English speaking) socialist Lemmy community free of the “ML” influence of instances like lemmy.ml and lemmygrad. This is a place for undogmatic shitposting and memes from a progressive, anti-capitalist and truly anti-imperialist perspective, regardless of specific ideology.

Serious posts, news, and discussion go in c/Socialism.

If you are new to socialism, you can ask questions and find resources over on c/Socialism101.

Please don’t forget to help keep this community clean by reporting rule violations, updooting good contributions and downdooting those of low-quality!

Rules

Version without spoilers

0. Only post socialist memes

That refers to funny image macros and means that generally videos and screenshots are not allowed. Exceptions include explicitly humorous and short videos, as well as (social media) screenshots depicting a funny situation, joke, or joke picture relating to socialist movements, theory, societal issues, or political opponents. Examples would be the classic case of humorous Tumblr or Twitter posts/threads. (and no, agitprop text does not count as a meme)


1. Socialist Unity in the form of mutual respect and good faith interactions is enforced here

Try to keep an open mind, other schools of thought may offer points of view and analyses you haven’t considered yet. Also: This is not a place for the Idealism vs. Materialism or rather Anarchism vs. Marxism debate(s), for that please visit c/AnarchismVsMarxism.


2. Anti-Imperialism means recognizing capitalist states like Russia and China as such

That means condemning (their) imperialism, even if it is of the “anti-USA” flavor.


3. No liberalism, (right-wing) revisionism or reactionaries.

That includes so called: Social Democracy, Democratic Socialism, Dengism, Market Socialism, Patriotic Socialism, National Bolshevism, Anarcho-Capitalism etc. . Anti-Socialist people and content have no place here, as well as the variety of “Marxist”-“Leninists” seen on lemmygrad and more specifically GenZedong (actual ML’s are welcome as long as they agree to the rules and don’t just copy paste/larp about stuff from a hundred years ago).


4. No Bigotry.

The only dangerous minority is the rich.


5. Don't demonize previous and current socialist experiments or (leading) individuals.

We must constructively learn from their mistakes, while acknowledging their achievements and recognizing when they have strayed away from socialist principles.

(if you are reading the rules to apply for modding this community, mention “Mantic Minotaur” when answering question 2)


6. Don't idolize/glorify previous and current socialist experiments or (leading) individuals.

Notable achievements in all spheres of society were made by various socialist/people’s/democratic republics around the world. Mistakes, however, were made as well: bureaucratic castes of parasitic elites - as well as reactionary cults of personality - were established, many things were mismanaged and prejudice and bigotry sometimes replaced internationalism and progressiveness.



  1. Absolutely no posts or comments meant to relativize(/apologize for), advocate, promote or defend:
  • Racism
  • Sexism
  • Queerphobia
  • Ableism
  • Classism
  • Rape or assault
  • Genocide/ethnic cleansing or (mass) deportations
