  • Stalinism only seems different because it’s named after the dude, maybe fascism is a more generic term. All the person your responding to is saying is that it’s as natural an argument to say that communism leads naturally to fascism (honestly in a really similar argument to yours by saying the state isn’t distinct from the ruling class and that power naturally condenses to the top in the system.)

    I could make a million arguments getting into the nuance of it, as I’m sure you could too. That’s just what the person is saying.



  • Right… Yeah in aggregate. Just cause you see a counterfactual in person doesn’t make it true. That’s how it works…

    And it’s strange, you say you can’t speak to that personally because you saw a line around the block, so what about the person who gave a personal anecdote to the opposite? You both have stories that contradict each other. How does this square in your framework?

    The Majority Report had a chilling take on this. We are getting reports out of Gaza that the mass starvation is in its final stages. Many Palestinians are at the late stages of starvation so that even if they got food it’s far too late and their body has started consuming itself.

    In the next weeks/months the death toll is going to spike, even more than it has. Like mass graves are going to be filled.

    Now all of these news outlets are seeing the writing on the wall and they’re starting to lay the groundwork to be able to claim that they have “always been” against the genocide now that it’s undeniable.
