They're all on the bridge to utopia regardless how many planks of the bridge are fucking missing.

2018-08-20 19:58:26 UTC  

the guys I were discussing with didn't deny they were commies. But they denied they were fascists, in every way possible

2018-08-20 19:58:34 UTC  

mfw the fictional society the word "utopia" was based on is now widely recognized as a dystopia 🤔

2018-08-20 19:58:35 UTC  

They dangle the carrot of utopia before a populace to convince them to do things that they would object to otherwise.

2018-08-20 19:58:41 UTC  

utopias don't even work in fiction

2018-08-20 19:58:49 UTC  

Insectopia

2018-08-20 19:59:06 UTC  

"Antifa is facsist" is mostly rhetoric I think
Point being they claim to fight facsism but they're also incredibly authoritarian

2018-08-20 19:59:24 UTC  

Utopias don't work in fiction because they would make the story boring.

2018-08-20 19:59:31 UTC  

Not even that, aidan

2018-08-20 19:59:46 UTC  

if a group advocates for full authoritarianism, I call that fascism. Am I wrong?

2018-08-20 19:59:53 UTC  

'liberals get the bullet, too'

2018-08-20 20:00:32 UTC  

Exactly

2018-08-20 20:00:42 UTC  

Authoritarians seek power to control culture.

2018-08-20 20:00:57 UTC  

Invariably.

2018-08-20 20:01:19 UTC  

It's the easy route for someone willing to get their hands dirty.

2018-08-20 20:01:33 UTC  

Why convince people

2018-08-20 20:01:38 UTC  

Why compromise

2018-08-20 20:01:44 UTC  

fascists seem more chill than antifa

2018-08-20 20:01:52 UTC  

When you can just wild the monopoly on force

2018-08-20 20:01:58 UTC  

@RyeNorth nope hitler was far-right

2018-08-20 20:02:04 UTC  

and yes, he was a socialist

2018-08-20 20:02:11 UTC  

Monopoly on violence

2018-08-20 20:02:16 UTC  

since when is socialism automaticly left-wing?

2018-08-20 20:02:31 UTC  

always?

2018-08-20 20:02:39 UTC  

uh, since the modern definitions of those terms were created

2018-08-20 20:02:40 UTC  

Hitler is regarded as centrist authoritarian by most counts.

2018-08-20 20:03:06 UTC  

Socialism is currently extremely left.

2018-08-20 20:03:34 UTC  

as in most people espousing it are? Sure.

2018-08-20 20:03:42 UTC  

Anyone calling him 'far right' is attempting to smear conservative perspectives

2018-08-20 20:03:52 UTC  

Personally I don't see Antifa as fascist, though they do operate under principle of "By All Means Necessary" that makes up part the Fascisms core belive when it comes to accomplishing their goal, their goal is just radically different to that of fascism.

2018-08-20 20:03:57 UTC  

Since when is the right conservatives?

2018-08-20 20:03:57 UTC  

tbf republicans are pretty socialist

2018-08-20 20:04:06 UTC  

ffs hitler was clearly a far-right progressive socialist

2018-08-20 20:04:17 UTC  

hitler was center, at best

2018-08-20 20:04:22 UTC  

It's might makes right which both fascists and antifa believe.

2018-08-20 20:04:24 UTC  

**Hey.**

2018-08-20 20:04:29 UTC  

Hitler had a dog.

2018-08-20 20:04:39 UTC  

i read the nazis had arguments about if they were right or left so i think they didnt even know

2018-08-20 20:04:42 UTC  

I think that proves my point.

2018-08-20 20:05:02 UTC  

The political compass website for one literally equates more socialism with farther left and more capitalism further right
