    why do some people have this ludicrous notion that capitalism can’t defeat the militant wing of capitalism?

    a mystery for the ages thinkin-lenin

    ‘Ludicrous’ is a funny way to describe literally the only thing that has ever worked against fascism.

    If only fascism had a long history of being opposed to show us which groups keep aligning with it, but alas.

    One of the smartest things the libs ever did was focus on “hitler is evil” in order to prevent people from learning what conditions brought about fascism and how it related to capitalism. Economic determinism is not completely correct but great man theory covers up all economic elements entirely.

    The best video on this topic is https://youtu.be/QO-7cymgtqo?t=1293

    It answers the question “What creates fascism?” very thoroughly with materialist analysis.

    lol, the only way capitalism beats fascism is in the masturbatory sense. Which, to give the devil his due, they do with great frequency and vigor

      Dems think fascism is defeated by coming to a middle ground compromise with it

    it only has to work once to prove us wrong by contradiction and you still haven’t given us a single example of it working
