“Don’t like fascism? Lock up your political enemies. Problem solved.”
The answer isn’t even voting. Voting is actually important in this scenario because, yes, you are actually voting to keep fascists from the door.
The actual answer isn’t electoralism at all—even if it’s important to avert the worst case scenario.
The answer is withholding what’s most valuable to them: your labor. General strike with a clearly defined goal and a pissed off populace is literally the most powerful tool we can harness.
lol why would that matter if you didn’t agree with him? What’s your point?
And FYI, I read a book called “Inventing the Pinkertons,” aaallll about the company since their inception, from the Allen who chased outlaws and fabricated an assassination plot against Lincoln to boost his company, through to his sons who took over and became the supreme anti-labor army.
How did you not know about Allen Pinkerton actually being pro labor and fleeing Scotland for his involvement in a labor movement there?
Now—I don’t know if you knew this. But this is to give an example of how stupid your comment has been because you have no idea what I know about the pinkertons and the history of labor conflict and nothing I said would give you any reason to think I don’t know what you’re referencing.
Okay, so we agree that gulags are off the table, and you also think a general strike is off the table. I ask you again, what alternative solution are you offering?
Then you get full fascism
When 40% of the voting population wants fascism those are your options.

This is such insane logic.
“People will fight against you if you stand up for yourself. What are you thinking?”
Your suggestion is…what exactly? Don’t try to fight for what’s right because it comes with a cost? I just don’t understand people.

You’ve never heard of strike breakers? Pinkertons? Battle of Blair Mountain?
I mean that’s just your own ignorance at this point
“You’ve never heard of water? Why would you start a fire?”
What kind of logic is that?
I’m not saying he’s right, I’m saying it’s absurd that you’ve never heard of the battles against unions in the US.

Horseshoe theory is more like pointing out the similarities between Hitler and Stalin.
