Trump-backing Muslim voters finally realize they 'made a big mistake': expert

Lenin actually described this pattern, theorizing that "fascism is capitalism in decay."

There are a lot of marxists of a variety of bents who have their own theories on how to achieve a socialist state, but most of them guess that an advanced capitalist state has very little likelihood of transitioning without a revolutionary vanguard or violent class conflict.

It's a reason why socialist projects almost exclusively appear in pre-industrial parts of the world - but a classless communist state is only really achievable in more advanced post-industrial societies because they'd actually have the infrastructure to get to post-scarcity. So what ends up happening usually is either a protracted socialist "dictatorship of the proletariat", or a social democratic state that is slowly undermined by austerity until it returns to a more conventional capitalist organization.

All that to say: no, I do not think the US even meets the bare minimum of class consciousness required to avoid a fascistic collapse. The only good news is that, historically, fascist movements tend to burn out fairly quickly unless they have a competent leader. So, there's that.

an economic collapse is only going to create a vacuum to be filled by the next fascist to secure even greater control.

Unfortunately, this is usually what happens when governments/societies collapse. Lot of people on the internet talking about burning it all down and starting over, not realizing that usually just makes things worse.

The majority of the fault is squarely on voters, not Democrats. Because they didn’t fucking inform themselves responsibly.

A little less than half of all eligible voters don't vote in any given federal election - multiple factors more than the margin of every race; can we blame those people for every atrocity conducted on our behalf, too?

The outcome of every election since our founding was determined by how many people the candidates can get to turn out for them -that didn't suddenly change this time. Democrats chose to spend their efforts trying to disabuse their constituents of their moral objections and deny any real domestic reform, and they lost because of it.

Oh, my mistake. So if you don't vote for them unconditionally then you think it's acceptable to place conditions on voting for them. Would you say that "not supporting genocide" is a reasonable condition, or do you draw the line at something worse than genocide?

Democrats enabled the greater evil by ignoring the interests of the constituencies they needed to win.

Because they didn't cut ties with Israel? There's no reality in which America is going to break up with their most important ally in the Middle East. Did you want Democrats to lie that they'd break ties so they could win and then go back on that promise? Flip flopping like that is what leads a country to having exactly zero allies.

I guess they had faith in Americans to be informed enough to know that despite not being perfect, they're INFINITELY better than Republicans. But that faith was 100% misplaced because Americans, my friend, are DUMB.

Individuals are reponsible for their actions. They didn't need to support the dems just have a spine and vote against Trump.

Surely you see the difference between Democratic leadership and the masses that believe in some semblance of humanity. I swear your short-sighted goal of overthrowing the system has resulted in millions of Americans marching goose step and lining trans children up for the slaughter.

Own your part now or history will not look kindly upon you and your ilk. You are right, but also very wrong.

They did enable the greater evil, but it was voters who ultimately put them in office, not Democrats. The buck stops with the voters. Or it did - they made sure it won't any more.

That is literally the fucking opposite of how voting works. You only got two choices for a winner here Biden or trump and not voting Biden = trump.

You guys seem to think there's a 3rd option here.

First past the post voting literally shows otherwise. You are a fool.

There's no reality in which the U.S. was going to seriously jeopardize its relationship with our closest ally in the middle east.

Americans had two options:

A side that expressed disapproval of Israel's actions and floated stopping arms shipments, which Biden floated.

Or

A side with a guy who literally said Israel should finish the job and is now saying he wants to turn Gaza into a vacation destination.

I'll let you do the math.

Because regular adults should be responsible enough to see through blatant manipulation by blatantly bad actors. And if they can't, that's no one else's fault but their own.

Because your links didn't support your claim, bud. This isn't high school, you can't just cite a bunch of bullshit and call it good.

Certain non-voters attitude became [...] "I’m just not voting"

Ok, now apply that criticism to those who (hypothetically) wouldn't have voted if Biden had stopped supplying military aid to Israel.

The Democrats created that block of voters by repeatedly lying about their knowledge of Israel's war crimes. Not only could they have done the right thing by withholding their offensive aid from Israel, they could have also not lied about it.

Democrats tried obscuring the scale of devastation in gaza with their own involvement, and then lost because they got caught and then doubled down. You can't treat your constituents with that much contempt and expect not to lose those voters, and then post-rationalize the lie by claiming that they would have lost more voters had they been honest and intervened.
