    A leftist is stuck in a room with another leftist and a fascist.

    The leftist has one gun and two bullets, and they must be used.

    What does the leftist do?

    Shoot the other leftist twice.

      … then claim the other leftist making an edgy joke at the age of 14 is a proof they were the real fascist.

      Based off of current goings-on, this is factual. Constant internal battles about who’s the true leftist while ignoring the real enemy

        The only ones ignoring the real enemy are the liberals, actually helping them to fight the leftists.

                By pretending that liberals didn’t push the fascists to power. And instead blaming the left, as always. The only enemy of liberals are the leftists. It always has been, and it’ll always be apparently.

                  This is a myopic analysis of why the fascists are in power. The left as a whole is responsible for pushing the fascists to power because of their inability to settle on a common agenda. Some leftists are more concerned with social justice, some with the worries of the working class and some with capitalism entirely.

                  This blaming of one particular ideological group for why the right were able to usurp power is part of the problem. Looking for who to blame instead of looking for a solution that all leftists can agree on.

                  Note: When i refer to the left, I’m talking about liberals, progressives, social democrats and the far left ideologies.

                    Liberals are not the left. They are the ones responsible for this mess. Them still blaming the left, the true left, means that either they understand nothing of life and politics, or that they, as always, prefer to fight the left rather than fascism if give n the choice.

                    Hitler came into power because the the liberals sided with him to fight the left. The left was already fighting the nazis for a while at this point.

                    History repeats itself: while the left tries to fight fascism and warns about, the liberals pretend they’re also fighting this fight, but actually lean more and more toward a fascist discourse and ultimately side with them.

                    Biden had 4 fucking years to fight fascism. He did absolutely nothing. He waited for the election result to scramble emergency measures to save what could still be saved.

                    What’s happening in the US is happening everywhere, in Europe too. Liberal governments still push liberal policies that everyone hates, and talk like the left is responsible for all the problems in the world. Meanwhile the fascist bought all medias and half the politicians and the liberals are doing nothing about it.

                    Liberals had absolutely all the powers in most government and international institutions, yet they did absolutely fuck all to fight the fascism that’s rising in plain sight for 50 fucking years!
