Comment on The best thing *you* can do for the fediverse is *just be kind*
surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 1 day agoThey have one very important thing in common. They both support the alt-right. Fascists because they want to. Leftist because they’re purists.

They do not support the alt-right. What are you even talking about? “MAGA communists” almost never show up on Lemmy, and when they do they are quickly shown the door.

I have read a lot of marxist and anarchist theory. All marxist theories did is to confirm that the anarchists are right.

They support the alt-right by being overly idealistic and failing to partner with liberals and more moderate leftists to make progress.
Divide and be conquered.

Mate, the goal is to be idealistic. No one is perfect, but we want to strive for what’s the best and hope we reach there some day.

Yes, but not at the cost of letting fascists win. Harm reduction is real.

Partnering with liberals is idealistic. They always stab you in the back at the first opportunity.

I disagree. Socialists often tactically partner with liberals on shared goals, despite the risks. Knowing that, when forced to choose, liberals have historically sided with fascists, because fascists will never upend capitalism.
