    Fun fact: everyone who didn’t vote for Hitler made it through the war with a 100% clean conscience, and did not regret any other inactions. /s

      Reminder that Hitler lost the election. The liberals endorsed a conservative candidate in the name of unity, who won, and proceeded to staff the government with Nazis and made Hitler chancellor, in the name of unity.

      The left, cursed with Casandra Syndrome, campaigned on “A vote for Hindenburg is a vote for Hitler is a vote for war.”

      Because there is nothing new under the sun, you even had the liberals who announced their endorsement of Hindenburg immediately start attacking the left for not supporting their best shot at defeating Hitler..

      In the end, many of them did end up supporting Hindenburg. But liberals will always see the left as a greater threat than fascists.

        Fascinating that “I wish we had elected the Nazis sooner” is tankie orthodoxy.

          Socialism is the only way to stop liberalism from proceeding to fascism. If the liberals had supported the socialists instead of demanding the socialists vote for them while they create the conditions for fascism to grow, and then hand power to the fascists, we could have strangled it in its crib.

          It was as true in the 1920s and 30s as it is today. Hell we even saw the dems choose to fund ICE year after year, after they built the first set of cages, and right now, today, are choosing not to block its massive expansion.

          And you have any faith at all that those same people have any interest in stopping fascism?

            Yes, if only the liberals, who make up a plurality of this country, had chosen to support the socialists, who make up single-digit percentages of this country, they would’ve won the election in a landslide and everything would be fine right now.

            instead of demanding the socialists vote for them while they create the conditions for fascism to grow, and then hand power to the fascists, we could have strangled it in its crib.

            As we all know, socialism has never allowed fascism to take root. So glad that problems have easy ideological solutions.

            But of course, what am I saying? You’re a holodomor and Uyghur genocide denier. You love fascism, as long as it has the right color of paint.

              Holodomer

              You are literally doing nazi propaganda right now.

              Uyghur genocide

              lmao I am in China right now, I was in Urumqi earlier. There’s no travel restrictions, literally anyone can go there.

              problems have easy ideological solutions

              Correct, because ideology guides actions. Decisions informed by liberalism tend to heighten the contradictions of capitalism; the working class get weaker, the bourgeois get more powerful, and the petite bourgeoisie get one, then the other, making them easily controlled by anyone who offers them a scapegoat that doesn’t question the system that privileged them.
