in all honesty, I misinterpreted this comment then. When you said “this convo” with the picture of .gaia.’s post, I thought you were referring to the post in the picture, rather than our actual conversation. I apologize for that and didn’t realize until you said, that’s where my escalation regarding the “dogmatic hate” came from (not the initial mention of it, but the reason for me expanding on it) the critique of “the uniparty”/controlled opposition is definitely a shared one amongst many of

hence why millions of people have taken to the streets for continued demonstrations, as well as a growing organized strike movement. meanwhile you’re over here deluding yourself into thinking that a mere “vote” (for Gavin Newsome no less) will effectively combat the rise of fascism.

Tbh they can dismiss and downplay it all they want (id argue it’s also intentional to discourage others from joining) as long as the movement for organizing strikes on sectors of the economy (or its entirety) remains and grows, they’ll feel the impact one way or another; and the government will either cave or send in the military to stomp all public demonstrations (which will wake many more up to what’s going on in the long term)

are you talking about the government? apologies if I’m misunderstanding, but the US government has a long-standing history of infiltrating and sabotaging major movements throughout our history, a notable one is the CIA and FBI’s continuous monitoring and sabotage of the Black Panthers a few decades ago; even going as far as murdering political activists that garner too much support. ultimately our government has one main goal, and it’s maintaining the role of capitalism in our country (and

across the world as much as possible). it’s the single-most common bipartisan issue that both parties share, and we commonly see them cave on claimed positions if it risks harming capital. A good example of the role our government plays in maintaining and protecting capital is our two-tiered justice system based on socioeconomic status (which gains even more “tiers” down the line, when factors like white supremacy, patriarchy, heteronormativity, etc, are taking into account)

tldr: the us government has a fundamental goal of maintaining the power and role of capital in our society; and they will ultimately do anything they need to (including embracing the rise of fascism) in order to defend it.

it was an *example* if you missed that, but yes; the CIA and FBI both play a major role, till this day, in preventing meaningful organization of anti-capitalist movements. Their own declassified documents confirm this, and they see anti-capitalist movements as more of a threat than far-right white nationalist movements.

that’s utterly insane, in all honesty. Many of my fellow leftists, myself included, strive to expand access to concept of democracy in nearly every facet of life, especially in the workplace. To view us the same as Nazis, their modern equivalents, as well as the moderate equivalent of confederates, solely on the basis of criticizing the Democratic Party for their downfalls, while striving for a better life for all of us, is not only delusional, but borderline complicit in their rise to power.
