Left political parties are controlled opposition.

The finance economy has co-invested the large pools of money from 'The Left' and 'The Right'.

This financial class has created a worldwide caste system.

Thus financial class does not factor in quality of life for people below them while maximizing profits.

Fascism also implies state control of the economy, so nah this is very in line with historical fascist states.

The Fascist conception of the State is all-embracing; outside of it no human or spiritual values can exist, much less have value. Thus understood, Fascism is totalitarian, and the Fascist State–a synthesis and a unit inclusive of all values–interprets, develops, and potentiates the whole life of a people.

Fascism is definitely and absolutely opposed to the doctrines of liberalism, both in the political and economic sphere. (p. 32)

The Fascist State lays claim to rule in the economic field no less than in others; it makes its action felt throughout the length and breadth of the country by means of its corporate, social, and educational institutions, and all the political, economic, and spiritual forces of the nation, organised in their respective associations, circulate within the State. (p. 41).

None of them stand behind anything but money.

I recently cut a new friend from my life, went from normal seeming dude to full trumpism, I guess I just didn't see it before. Told him I don't associate with trump supporters and blocked his number. He said he shouldn't have brought up politics.

No man, be proud of the shit you believe in, don't hide it! You voted for hatred, stand behind it! It's everyone else that's wrong!

Fuck em. Stand up for what you believe in and either receive the hatred happily or reevaluate why you're getting shit on. Being a decent human doesn't cost much at all.

Hmm. Yeah. Maybe I should have gone with some other title.

This is the most braindead comment I've read here yet. Google search Democratic Party Platform and you'll find a 92 page document covering everything you pretend to be looking for. Now Google the Republican Party platform, and you'll find it's "Whatever Trump wants at any moment'.

You could be complaining out of sheer ignorance, which is a common feature in today's political environment, when a simple Google search has the answers for the 'do your own research' generation, or you are being disingenuous on purpose to push the Both Sides Same narrative.

Dems are also all bark, no bite. Hard to get behind a consistently weak, losing team. We finally got a few "squeaky wheels" hoping to make some change. After Bernie got shafted, fuck DNC too. America is bought and paid for, all higher ups are in on it. They only go into politics to fatten their wallets. Fuck you pelosi and anyone else benefiting from insider trading.

The only thing the Democratic Party hates more than Republicans is actual leftists.

Both parties have no positive vision for the country.

I'd really hate if it does come down to him as presidential frontrunner, but his team's tweets have been incredible

Yeah, calling the fascist doing fascist things as "socialism" is definitely not something that a party in Germany did in the 1930s.

Why should we care if they like or dislike what we call them? No one is trying to convince the Nazis.

Putting a hammer and sickle next to Trump is an insult to the number one Nazi killers in history.

Socialist are the number one killers and fighters against Fascism in history. And second place isn't even close.

Trump using the government to increase the value of corporations is only "socialism" if you completely ignore everything that Marx or Lenin ever wrote.

This is just more "socialism is when the government does stuff". Zero understanding of class conflict and interest.

I don't have many nice things to say about Newsom but let's not dilute the word fascist into a generic insult eh?

That’s socialism, right?

The Marxist definition of socialism is that the government owns the means of production. That definition prevailed during the Cold War when you had such socialist countries. Communism is a utopian state which is promised to come after socialism. It's the system of a post-scarcity society where you don't have property because everything is abundant. The state withers away because it is no longer needed. Basically, it's a society like in Star Trek. In Marxist thought, the development is: feudalism->capitalism->socialism->communism

Of course, it's not wrong using the term "socialism" more loosely.
