Comment on Record breaker Starmer is the 'most unpopular PM since polling began'
redchert@lemmygrad.ml 3 weeks agoThe moderate left fully surrendered to every issue to the right, all in the name of “electability” and “incremental process to socialism”, they chose fascism over being perceived as “pro-russian” and “tankies”

Being pro-Putin or a tankie is the same thing as being a fascist

I think there’s some truth to what I said, right?
Fascist movements are apparently characterised by: “extreme militaristic nationalism, contempt for electoral democracy and political and cultural liberalism, a belief in natural social hierarchy and the rule of elites”. I think Putin’s rule has those characteristics. And tankies are authoritarian, right? They might idolise the USSR or the PRC, both of which have had a focus on militaristic nationalism, contempt for electoral democracy, and a belief in the rule of elites.
