And you can tell by the way that it is, unironically.

Wow. I see the first four or five things you mentioned as the primary enablers of "this sort of thing," if by that you mean the theft of resources and destabilization of governance in the global south.

Please don't apologize. I was going more for the "social democracy is the left wing of fascism" point. I was thinking of the sides of the coin as being the ideologies of each, not necessarily their version of the propaganda in the meme. I particularly enjoyed the way you reiterated your point in the paragraph beginning "How this relates"

Wow. It takes a lot of arrogance to spout off unsubstantiated bullshit, ignore all direct questions and requests for clarification, and then tell the coherent interlocutors they are simply ignorant which is clearly projection.

I hope you grow to a point where you can look back on this comment and appreciate what a word salad it is.

The post does not go into kill counts as a direct comparison. It simply states that the us will be remembered as worse than nazi germany. So no, that is not the reason. I'm calling out your behavior specifically as problematic.

"They went into hiding or ran away."

Yeah, they ran away to POSITIONS OF POWER. Just like the American Confederacy, the defeated belligerent was not sufficiently snuffed out after the official victory.

Yes that makes sense. The premises are too shaky for the argument to be sound despite the valid structure (which the commenter did not use and I pulled out of my ass).

I was mainly writing it out as an exercise to myself but left it because it kinda worked as a joke lol

I do very much appreciate an earnest answer.

Democratic Socialism will not be the norm because the Democratic party will not allow that to happen. What about recent party history gives you hope that this could occur? I find this hope to be naive.

Alright. Privilege is still relative. Being defensive is not going to change that.

The fear of "sticking your neck out" is still very individualistic thinking. The goal is to learn and organize so WE can stick our necks out together. My lionizing of former martyrs is not an attempt to shame you. I still think that "don't be like the people who actually induced change because they were martyred" is a terrible take.

~~Could you clarify why it's not good reasoning?~~

• A = u.s. abducts leader
• B = leader is a problem for the u.s.
• C = leader is a boon to the people
• D = leader is (likely) legitimately elected

Argument:

• If A then B
• If B then C
• If C then D
• A
• Therefore D

We just need "If C then D" to chain A to D since the comment up top didn't mention it . Oh, I think I see a problem here. In the us with leaders we constantly have "D and not C," and even worse than the not C's are the nazis. Ok, I'll stop.

For clarification's sake, the coin is capitalism.
