  • The problem is the paradox of violence to solve the problem from the view of the revolutionary. If you make them hate us, then we can’t deprogram them. If you make them scared of us, then they pass a law that allows cops to drive tanks. If you kill them, then they round us up and imprison or slaughter us.

    If you talk with people that are sitting on the fence, then you might make them avoid becoming a cop, or to get vocal against a war. If you teach pissed off workers about the revolutionary half of why their workplace is bad and corrupt, then you can make a union leader. The goal is to shift favour and culture to reject authoritarianism by taking direct responsibility. Instead of forming governments we ARE the goverment, we each exert ourselves to help shape the world, also known as democracy and anarchy.

    We are slaves, our parasites won’t be willing to kill us at the wrong time, while also being forced to maintain illusions of democracy. We can act out peacefully and they just can’t do anything about it. If they kill a MLK then people don’t just stop, they learn and grow. It’s paradoxical for them to kill dissidents until a large fascist movement(which is veeeery close) is ready. We need to decrease the taste for violence and reduce their simp-base so they cant get the voluntary armies the size they need. We need to sow dissent and raise awareness.

    Violence when used by anarchists benefits the state!

    The correct way to make a fascist into a progressive, is to show their club is bad and our club is better. As they say, you don’t fight hate with hate, you fight hate with love. Conservatives are desperately lonely(see social alienation) and are enticed into the cult of fascism because of no healthy alternatives. They would give up fascism as fast as they picked it up if we helped them. They absolutely fake being civilised non-fascists when we don’t realise their allegiance, because they know they will be rejected for their toxic fascist views. Make them prefer us fully through non-violence. We don’t even need to target the average fascist as they have fence sitters leaning into fascism, they also have progressive fascists, and ones that believe the lies about it being for the good, as apposed to it being about simple power.

    Fight better in non violent ways, unions, parallel structures, deprogramming, planning, spread awareness! etc.

    The key overlap between Fascism, Nazism , and conservatism is that they are all exactly the correct definition on recent conservatism which is best described by the following quote from Frank Wilhoit:

    Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit:

    There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

    Conservative values in the modern sense is taking power, while saying whatever the hell helps you take power. It applies perfectly to Nazis and Fascists historically.

    If you zoom in on Nazi actions, you see clearly they have the same style as modern conservatives. I hope you don’t misunderstand, I’m not calling Nazis conservatives, I’m calling conservatives NAZIS; And by that I mean the way they use power. ANYTHING to gain and maintain power, the rest is an illusion.

    In the case of the NAZIs they were progressive nationalist socialists advocating for a “third way" that was not liberalism or communism, which is why they campaigned hard as anti-marxists and anti-capitalists. Anti-semitistm was of course a major part of this as well and part of the reason Jewish conspiracy theories seem to simultaneously be associated with both marxism and capitalism.

    Nazis acted as standard capitalists. They busted unions, they worked alongside corporations without really controlling them in a bad way for them etc. We have tons of jokes about old Nazi companies like Hugo boss that just mysteriously got overlooked and thrived for some time after WW2. They never lost their identity or profits, they gained a lot. It’s the people that lost, as always. Fascist(as we call it today) actions are really just capitalist democracies, that throw away the illusion of democracy, more specifically, they can no longer maintain the illusion - see conservatism.

    As for Russians, I’ve been saying this a lot but… I don’t speak Russian, I don’t speak Mandarin, Haven’t visited them, I haven’t done the levels of research needed for me to have an opinion on this matter. There is also a wall of massive propaganda making it 10x harder to validate information. When people talk about modern Russia or China they are talking out their asses and the conversation devolves into shit-flinging. So I shut it down in my very first response. It’s a start of a bad-faith conversation at least 90% of the time. I’m not saying you would be in the 90%, just that I’m opting out of that part of the convo.
