Oh look, a meme HELPING fascism.
Looks pretty accurate for those of us outside the imperial core.
it's painfully obvious from inside the core too; it's just that most are convinced that it's conspiracy theory in the same way that the epstein class convinced most that the baby farming, raping, sacraficing, and eating are conspiracy theories too.
Every fascist government in history has taken power in large part because the opposition was too busy fighting amongst themselves. There need to be only to sides right now - fascism and anti-fascism.
This implies that the democrats aren't on the fascist side. That is clearly not true. The antifascist side has always been the left wing(communists and anarchists). If you support the "nice fascists" or the "mean fascists" you're still a fascist.
Under what definition of fascism do Democrats qualify?
Through the fact that they are reactionary, genocide backing, war hungry, imperialist, bourgeoisie owned enemies of the working class who are shifting right as the capitalist crisis deepens, increasing Gestapo funding and suppressing real working class organisation.
Yes, and the Democrats are on the side of fascism
and it's yellow to help others like you understand and fortunately so because they seem to have a lot of difficulty understanding it. lol
How so? Both the DNC and GOP are far-right parties of genocidal imperialists, we need to stop treating capitalist-controlled and run elections as our primary political outlet, and instead build up revolutionary working class parties.
And one of these will be running the country in 2028. Forming a coalition to fight them is a great long term goal, bit it takes time and momentum.
As of September 2025, 54% have a positive view of capitalism compared to 39% with a positive view of socialism. Those numbers are converging, but we have at least a decade or two before they cross. We just don't have the numbers to pull it off.
Unions. We need to build unions. When a majority of people see unions working for them against the capitalists, then they will be ready to accept something new.
We have been building momentum for a long, long time. Part of why progress is slow is because people believe voting to be the primary means by which we can engage with politics in a bourgeois controlled system. The fact that one of those two parties will win does not mean we need to accept the DNC as a valid representative of the working classes, as they fix nothing and maintain imperialism.
Believe it or not, numbers are also improving with respect to how communism is percieved:
The problem with your thinking is that it assumes socialism is a matter of waiting for more people to support it. Plenty of popular policies like abortion, marijuana legalization, and opposing war in Venezuela, Cuba, and Iran are still supported by both parties. They do not represent our interests, so we need to organize against it.
This is historically false. Every successful revolution has been led by parties, not unions. Unions help themselves, not the working class as a whole, so while we should support and engage with unions, it remains necessary to organize in a broad, revolutionary working class party.
They may or may not fix anything, but the RNC will make things worse. The RMC has enabled a fascist takeover that is stripping rights from LGBT people, spreading contagious diseases with antivax policy, abusing and shooting people dead in the street in the name of border security, initiating a coup in Venezuela by kidnapping a national leader, murdering sailors with drone strikes, and denying the basic civil liberties of millions of residents. You can tell me all day about how bad the DNC is but at the end of the day they are the least worst choice.
The DNC and GOP are both aligned on supporting genocidal imperialism, though. Both shoot people dead in the streets, Hillary even bragged about how many people the DNC deported. The DNC was committing genocide in Palestine, which the GOP has continued. You're falling for their better PR.
