    Wow, that’s some spectacular mental gymnastics to avoid getting the point.

    It’s not about communism and (not that it matters to the statement but) I’m not a tankie or any other kind of communist.

    You could replace “Communism” with “Antifa”, “illegal aliens” or “Liberals making our kids trans” and the point would be the same, since the anticommunism was always an excuse to commit the fascist abuse that they wanted in the first place.

      You accuse me of avoidance, yet you refused to clarify. Sounds like I hit the nail on the head.

      Personally I think the fascists have actually been quite open about their opposition to democracy. It’s kind of what makes them fascists.

        Nope, clarify was EXACTLY what I did 🤦

        To bend it in neon, though: what the meme, not authored by me, is saying is that fascists are using “protecting democracy” as an excuse to use fascist means to protect capitalism from humanity. I’m pro-democracy and fascists are not. Nor is capitalism.

        Sounds like I hit the nail on the head.

        “The Nail” is a pretty weird thing to call yourself, but whatever 🤷

        You should probably cool it with the self harm though, as your brain is already pretty sluggish without exacerbating it with more blunt trauma.
