Don’t misunderstand me. I hate fascists with every fiber of my being and think they deserve nothing but :pit:, but at least they’re up-front about the horrific violence their system entails and their willingness to slaughter us en masse if we try to create anything better.
It’s the difference between the guy who stabs you in the chest while yelling “FUCK YOU” and the guy who stabs you in the back and then tries to act all innocent, wagging a finger at you for swinging back and talking about how unlike you, they absolutely abhor violence.
fascists are the foil we wish we could face. fortunately for the world, but unfortunately for our egos, most reactionaries aren’t fascists, and fascism isn’t the governing ideology preventing communist activity from bearing fruit. liberalism won the great wars of the 20th century, and now it is bloated, sickly, and totally unaware of us flies buzzing around and nipping at its flank. fascists are aware of us, they exist on the same plane of holy warfare as leftists, and can conceive of stakes at a commensurate scale.
