      TIL… Derek Chauvin is a fascist. But also a communist. No, a fascist. But also… a communist.

        Are you unaware that fascism is an umbrella term for many things such as communism and national socialism? I mean I know you’d rather suppress that fact but still, quite delusional

          TIL… serving capitalism makes you communist.

          Do tell… do you also apply this “logic-that-must-be-good-because-I-pulled-it-out-of-my-ass” in other parts of your life?

            Nah. I’m an antifascist. If something looks like a fascist and acts like a fascist it is fascist. It’s not my fault every communist regime is fascist. Differences in the economic model underneath is irrelevant to the minorities being slaughtered. Communism is intrinsically transphobic

              Can you tell me the page number in Das Kapital where you can find Marx’s discussion of transgender people? Or at least the chapter?

                Can you explain why communist regimes have a clear tendency of “removing” minorities, such as ethnic and sexual minorities?

                Like I said, I didn’t make the rules, communism clearly has a requirement of genocide as perceived in reality, exactly like in national socialism - it’s ingrained in the ideology.

                  You didn’t show me where. If it’s intrinsic, as you claim, it should be in Das Kaptial since that is a foundational document. So where is it?

                    The ideology didn’t kill these people because the whitepaper said it didn’t

                    Next thing you’re gonna say is that soviet union wasn’t communist even though they said it was. Fascists are always like this. Just take responsibility for once and admit that millions of minorities have been killed due to communism, and its inherent requirement for a homogeneous, authoritarian society which it always tries to go towards. Just once admit, then you can go back to playing a closet nazi.

              Everything I don’t like is fascist.
