Yes, I know from a rhetorical perspective they’re a bunch of jerks who do nothing but complain, but is there an actual takedown of their ideological notions? Because just saying they suck without further explanation makes it hard to dismiss them when they pop up. I don’t agree with them, I just want to know why I shouldn’t. Something about statues and logic and being chained in a courtyard with wind and all that. I’m not sure where to put this, sorry.

It’s worth pointing out that postwar Italy was ready, of its own free and democratic will, to elect a communist government and quite possibly join the USSR as a soviet republic, only to have the USA meddle in the elections and alter the outcome. The Italian government then kept the population in a state of fear with false flag attacks by the NATO underground army Gladio that were blamed on communists, or they knew about violent assholes planning attacks and let them go through anyway with approval from the intelligence services (see: Tsarnev bros). Better elect those libs, or else you’re gonna get it! Oh and allow US to base troops and nuclear weapons on your soil and make you into a target.
