  • God, you are such a sucker… Every single time libs fall for this crying, weeping, bleeding-heart “oh, look at me, I’m a bartender, I’m a Latino, I care so much about immigrant cages! I’m not at all financed by two Zionist-connected companies”. Hook, line, sinker - rinse, repeat.

    It’s funny how the “cage” situation got worse during the Biden admin… And your precious AOC didn’t spurt out a word. Or when she went “oh, we gotta protect the Naz… I mean, democracy in Ukraine!”. Or when she went to support Palestinian Authority, the puppet entity that is currently supporting this genocide in Gaza.


  • introduced through principled politicians

    You drank too much of Bernie “Zionazi apologist” Sanders. They did not do it because they were “principled”. Even your precious socdems don’t give a shit about you, though their rhetoric may suggest otherwise. And while yes, labor unionization can win you a few crumbs, you gotta remember that these are 1) crumbs that the capitalists 2) were willing to give them should the workers start to get annoying, and 3) these crumbs are only possible because of US/Western imperialism. There “principled politicians” do this to bribe the working class, to pacify it - because it is easier than the stick. Once you ask for too much, or once the empire starts to crumble - then you’ll get the stick. And don’t worry, the militarized police in the US get to have a VERY big stick nowadays.


  • Lol “write it down”. Gotta love the smugness of clueless libs. You ignored the most important aspect of it all - the material interests that fuel all of it. Fascism, to put it short, is capitalism in crisis. It is when the liberal facade breaks and the ruling class - the capitalists - feel threatened, they find a strongman and put him in power. Then you see a true face of capitalism - a fascist one, where the state crushes workers’ rights, coerces everyone into wage slavery and extracts superprofits for the bourgeoisie. Your definition is plainly shallow because it does not address the material roots of the ideology.


  • They are not “trying to actually effect positive changes to society”. That is exactly what being a liberal is all about - zero understanding of the material reality. What they are actually trying to do every day is upholding the interests of capital. And that means serving a specific economic group - the capitalists, or “the bourgeoisie”. Whether by starting wars all over the globe, instigating coups, financing fascist death squads, supporting actual genocide, what have you. They don’t give two shits about you, positive changes to society, anyone really but their donors and themselves.








  • Furthermore, professional armies are much more reactionary/apolitical in nature.

    Active duty force - yes, there’s a clear reason for that - material interests (paycheck). Disenchanted and disenfranchised veterans - not as much, perhaps.

    There’s another thing worth mentioning - the dichotomy of “professional” vs “conscription” is not as either/or as one may suggest, rather it’s become and/both, dialectics-style. Take Russia, for example: before Wagner was incorporated into the AF, they had all three - conscripts, professional/voluntary and mercs. The US is to be noted too - the Blackwater PMC has at least 110,000 soldiers, perhaps more.
