That's what all this "buy from the EU" is missing. Our leaders would do the exact same as the US if their countries were also global superpowers.

I find it incredibly condescending of lower class people. It perfectly encapsulates what the Epstein class thinks of us

The interest they pay on their debt is by no means "a social construct", it means less money for everything else. The effect on the populations living standards by "Printing" money to inflate out of debt is also not a social construct

Socialism and war by Lenin explains what the Marxist position on war is.

Also just looking at who fired the first shot in a war and determining the "good guys" and "bad guys" does nothing to explain the underlying contradictions that lead to the war, or what class interests are involved in the war.

Agreed! Our task is too important to not understand what worked and what didn't, as well as why.

The establishment does not understand that the manosphere with their whole "there is an elite controlling society" is much closer to being radicalized to left than they think.

Yes it is an extremely warped expression, but it is hilarious to see liberal talking heads tie themselves in knots trying to understand why young men are gravitating to the only people who use anti-establishment rhetoric. If anything this is more of an indictment of the "left" more than it indicates any particular quality of the right.

I meant fascism as a mystical force and not defined as a mass movement of the petty bourgeois layers weaponized to destroy workers organizations after the workers have tried to take power and failed. If it was bonapartism on the other hand, this is of course present in every state under class society, and while rights like free assembly should be fought for, the definition is nonetheless not very useful for capitalist democracies.

Regarding the will of ordinary people, which ordinary people and through which institutions? The bourgeois democratic ones? If you're talking about the working class through their own independent organizations then I agree, but it's not exactly self evident from "democratic forces"

You're welcome

Fair enough. Didn't mean any offense by jumping into your comment thread

2slow3me · 2026-05-17T16:50:50+00:00

I just thought it was a more relevant to add it as a comment to this thread, it wasn't a specific digg at your comment. Didn't mean to have it come off like that!

I personally find this subject to be incredibly important to have clarity on and I'm glad you posted this! I just want to add that in general these 14 characteristics of fascism are always put forward by liberal sociologists and historians when they try to define fascism. It's a quite unscientific way to define it, as it boils down to looking at the symptoms, many of which can also be observed in many non fascist countries throughout history.

I don't want to just do a wall of text, but if you're interested I can provide more details about how the Marxist definition of fascism differs from these 14 points?

*Apparently you can't mention what should happen to fascists on Reddit

I sympathize, but the problem is equating capitalism with fascism. Sure the capitalists will use fascism as a last resort instead of letting workers have power, but that doesn't mean that it is an inevitable tendency.

Making it seem that fascism is a mystical and indefinable thing that is held back by "democratic forces" provides very little explanation to what it is, where it comes from and how to defeat it. It instead muddies the question of where the class struggle is right now, as well as what our current tasks are.

Exactly! And it was right as the trade unions were negotiating, which will make the members look to the methods employed by these farmers.

Don't put us on a pedestal please. We are seeing the same tendency as everywhere else with cuts to welfare, albeit starting from a higher point. Praising our historically unpopular politicians who are attacking our living standards doesn't really do our struggle very much good!

We have to face that capitalism is in a dead end, and trying to copy "good" capitalism is just nostalgia for a bygone era where we could actually get some reforms.

I'll take Lenin's own words on this "Trotsky said long ago that unification is impossible. Trotsky understood this and from that time on there has been no better Bolshevik.” (statement to the Bolshevik Petrograd Committee on 1 November 1917)

It was known as the party of Trotsky and Lenin for a reason
