Maybe if I become a fascist, I can trick a fascist into liking a redistributive policy while their politics remain otherwise unchanged. Maybe they won’t immediately think I’m a socialist of some kind and kill me. I can say “but I’m just as patriotic as you” and show them my American flag hammer and sickle if they even try.

Yup, same with anything that has “traditional” in the name (Traditionalist Worker Party was a US neo-nazi group). Always gotta be on the lookout for those fucking strasserists

Browderism worked out great last time. It definitely didn’t just alienate international comrades and lead socialists to support insane shit like the internment of Japanese-Americans.

Love to call myself anti-imperialist and communist while waving the flag of the strongest anti-communist empire in history.
