Slop.

A system with a free media, an independent judiciary, and internal checks and balances makes it unlikely that tankies would be able to consolidate power and make a country autocratic, even if they won a round of elections. We're more or less seeing the right-wing version of that happening in the US, where Trump clearly would love to be a dictator, but federalism, the courts, and to a lesser extent Congress have slowed him down and presented challenges that make it harder for him to succeed in his effort.

These people can't be real. I refuse to believe anyone could be this completely detached from reality.

I'm terminally online but I'm glad I'm not this terminally online at least. But at least the liberals are trying to speedrun this century's version of Nazi Germany by advocating of suppressing socialism in favor of fascism. I was worried it was gonna take longer.

Correct. Bourgeois democracy suppresses all forms of democracy, including bourgeois democracy

Me while Gestapo are escorting me to Auschwitz-Birkenau: "Those damn commies are up to something! Better keep an eye on them officer, Sir."

I'll take "what is America" for 500 points

Let the fascists take power and supress democratic freedoms to own the tankies 🤓

Fascists: Running around doing all the fascism in a fascist ways, faschistically.

Liberals: "We need to talk about the commies!"

Reinventing fascism from first principal

Liberals are roleplaying having ideological decisions to feel better about the descent into fascism. As if what they want or thought was right matters at all to their own system lol

Even in their hypothetical scenarios the only way the see a communist government coming into power is through the

The funny thing is that following their assumption that the communists are popular enough to win an election you'd think that would also mean that if they decided to revolt against an ~~authoritarian~~(ugh) fascist government they would also have enough popular support for using force to take power as well.

The Democrats: "They'll give everybody housing!"

There's a quick chant of "How we gonna pay for it!" And some mild booing from the crowd.

The Democrats: "They'll give everybody healthcare!"

There's a bit more booing and some "How we gonna pay for it!" grumbling.

The Democrats: "They'll clear out the fascists. And then logic, fact, reason, and science will be used to make decisions!"

The crowd is confused now. People are openly saying "How is that bad? It's what we want." And "If they can pay for the healthcare and the housing - isn't that good?"

The Democrats: "They'll abolish ICE!"

There's a palpable silence and then the crowd starts booing the Democrats.

I know it's 100% unrealistic. I wanted to write something positive for a change.

What's better, when I do authoritarianism or when I accuse you of doing authoritarianism?

This is basically bait on the part of OOP, who is a demsoc "tankie" in so many words

Damn imagine if you asked really hard questions about whether those liberal governments used democracy to come into being

"should we pass the enabling act?"
