Im not even sure what was your point. Just want to say that biden is not a proto fascist, he is a fascist. And trump is another. To think theres much difference between them is the same of thinking theres difference between the shit a dog did today and the one he did yesterday
Have you ever owned a dog? Their shits can be quite different in their nastiness from day to day. Your definition of fascism seems also to be lacking and reductive, thinking an out-of-their-time neolib like Biden puts out the same kind of repression on the working class as someone like Trump (Or Franco, Pinochet, Mussolini, Hitler) and the outlines in Project 2025 will.
Things will only get worse over the next few decades, we are currently still in a phase where the privileges of welfare state capitalism break away globally, leading to proper proletarisation of the population in the advanced capitalist, imperialist nations. That induces reactionary movements politically, and every year we can buy ourselves to organise and spread class consciousness before the violent repression is turned up to 11 is valuable.
Add the climate catastrophe on the top of capitalist decay, and things will get really, really ugly in the coming decades. If the communist movement isn't properly organised as soon as possible, there is no guarantee that can be transformed into ultimately an opportunity for change.
Would you eat any of them? Is this one less smelly than the other enought for you to eat it?
Good starting point: reject that genocide joe is an alternative to trump. As long as you belive the democratic-republican system is all you have, you are doomed
I think this is really telling, actually.
You are so emotionally invested in the vain idea that you, personally, are above handling dog shit that you are refusing to actually think through the problem.
I mean, I don't know what eating it has to do with anything. Some questions are just too gross to consider? Best to purge your mind of it than think at all about strategy?
The majority will not be convinced otherwise in a matter of five months. Thats not even a pipe dream, thats a drug trip
You do realise it's possible to vote while also wanting and working towards a better system, right?
I mean, idk, one will get me killed for being trans and the other wont; seems pretty significant to me. At least relatively speaking, a bit hard to fight for the working class while Im dead, yknow?
