Real fucking damage being done here. Imagine someone being curious about socialism and went into that fucking place but ended up finding conservative, imperialist MAGA larping as socialist and spew hateful reactionary rhetorics about important social issues that serious socialists are actually in support of, and they ended up thinking “oh no socialists are bad people and untrustworthy!” … Like the poster I was responding to is a lib but what could have been an educative conversation turned into this. I’m not sure if my comment would even reach that person. I’m loosing way too many brain cells over this.
This ACP are hype up on American patriotism and American exceptionalism. Midwestern Marxism was dismissing settler colonialism and trying to justify the Native American genocide. They are the same people who are talk about how the Founding Fathers would have supported communism. This is just the American version of the National Bolshevism and National Socialism movements that had came out of Europe.
It’s just DSA for college republican types. It’s not like the ACP invented basing your party around social media, engaging in basic church group activism, and talking about making America great again. Western leftists have been doing that the whole time. So, yeah, it’s Hitler. You live and breathe Hitlerism.
Yeah. And they’re somehow trying to market themselves as actual socialists. We are living in weird times.
National socialists perhaps? lol
History just repeats itself if we do not insist on breaking the chain
