It's not true, though. The Marxists, safely behind a wall, convinced the undecideds to give the gun to the Fascist.

The Soviet Union did more to stop the fascists than anyone else, and 27 million people in the Soviet Union were killed in the fight.

If anyone disagrees:

Kronstadt

Spanish Civil War

Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact

The War in Ukraine

Etc.

Historically, the Marxists were the ones that stopped the Nazis. 80% of combat in WWII was fought on the Eastern Front. Meanwhile, the liberals in Germany had linked hands with the Nazis to exterminate the Marxists early on in the Nazi rise to power. Additionally, the Soviets were the only ones materially backing the Anarchists in Spain.

Imagine having 4 years to prepare

With all the state apparatus behind them announcing day and night that Trump was "literally the worst human bean ever"

Basically all the universities and all the highly educated population by their side

With massive approval from their voter base

With huge sums of money for propaganda in the private media.

With all the considerably large powers of the current executive

Able to pass laws

Able to influence worldwide political movements to bash their opposition at any time through grants

Able to start or stop wars worldwide should the need arise

And they still lost to Trump LMAO 🤣

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

Our choices were Fascism or Corporatism. Why wouldn't we blame the parties?

People don't consider that there are worse things than going out in a gun battle. Much much worse.

Anyone who supports capitalism.

Here's a reasonably quick read, 300 pages, going over what major liberal philosophers believed and how they managed various contradictions of liberalism.

If you see anti-liberal sentiment that means "capitalism" which means "western world power" because some parts of Lemmy is overrun with CCP trolls and bots.

The actual definition of Liberal is meaningless here, but worth noting it means "advocate of equality and personal rights and freedoms".

It kind of has a double meaning. One side is someone who believes in like democracy, freedom, human rights, and the other side is someone who believes in private property. For historical reasons, the two tendencies are like joined together on most things, but there are differences.

A lot of leftists don't like liberals because they defend private property and capitalism, but a lot of liberals see themselves as leftists because of those progressive values.

Whether or not a liberal is left wing very much depends on the liberal. Every socialist was once a liberal, whether they were political or not. Conservatives are a kind of liberal, but with the progressive parts removed so it only defends private property.

capitalism is really good at like hiding away its injustice behind contracts and laws, a socialist would see those laws as unjust and want to do radical reforms up to and including overthrow of the ruling billionaires. a liberal might not see the injustice, or if they do, tend to want to stick to courts and reforms because it does contain elements of fairness and justice. liberal justice is more fair than feudal justice, but less than what many socialists would like.

The meme is a reference to the idea that social democracy, liberalism and fascism are all different aspects of capitalism.

The liberal said to the Marxist, “Holy shit that guy is really dangerous, let’s stop him.”

The liberal in question had spent the last decade handing military equipment to the freikorps to massacre communists before staffing the cabinet with fascists and making Hitler chancellor.

When is it do you believe the Marxists and Anarchists were in power? When do you believe they held the gun to be able to give it away?

Punch up, not down.

To put it in another reference frame. When a video game fails who's fault is it? The millions of consumers? Or the corpo overlords? When democrats fail, is it the fault of millions of voters? Or the fault of corpo overlords? When something fails it is always the responsibility of those in power to affect the most change. Except, when it comes to politics, then we forget that it's those with power that hold responsiblity.

I hate predatory micro transactions and day 1 dlc. I don't blame the people that boycotted them for the prevelence of mtx? I blame the people that demand they be sold first, then I blame the people that sell them, then I blame the people that bought them. It's not the fault of the people that didn't buy them. Except in politics for some reason.

Sorry, I just got recommended a "games are shit now corpos took over, it's the leftist's fault games are bad". The misattribution of blame from 'capital interests' to 'leftists' is so pervasive even the "I'm left of center" crowd are doing it. I didn't engage there but still need the catharsis
