Woah there, that they do, yes, but they also send the fascist a strongly worded letter. Be fair.

    Reminds me of Romania right now where the centrist candidate that won the presidential elections (and tons of people on here celebrated because it wasn't a reactionary right-winger) refused to ban and straight up endorsed legionary and fascist organizations to "fight communism"

    Article in Romanian, though using machine translation will get the general idea across

    "won" after they illegally anulled the results and didn't allow the winner to take part.
    All OK for the EU when things don't go their way.
    Not that I want those fascists to win but yet another example of the hypocrites from the EU with their imaginary 'democratic values'

    Then the fasciast shoots the Marxist and Ancharist, then proceeds to beat the Liberal to death.

    There is no legal or civic action that can undo the now inevitable.

    People are going to be surprised when the gop looses elections, democrats come into power again and nothing changes for most people. Then gets even worse the next gop presidency .

    Direct and immediate action along with halting all Dem support until they start trying to get leftist voters instead of trying to get the mythical "moderate conservative".

    This is an explicitly radical leftist space, on an anarchist instance; no need to self-censor :)

    (meaning you getting in trouble on this side is extremely unlikely; your home instance is another story, idk about them. Tho with Lemmy being non-corpo and community driven, it's more free in terms of progressive speech (idk if that sentence makes sense))

    1, 2

    ...my joke is about how you and others are asking/encouraging them to elaborate about what specific kind of "direct and immediate action" they're alluding to, which could maybe get them in some kind of trouble (with mods/admins, or, given the context, maybe worse...) 👀

    Correct, liberalism is a center-right ideology. They are literally closer on the political spectrum to fascists than leftists.

    Depends on. So called "Ur liberalism" was the foundation of a lot of our moral systems on the left, but then we had to realize capitalism have weaponized early representative democracies, so a great split began, and after some conservatives started to call themselves "classical liberals", a steep rightward shift begun, especially with all the moral panics about communism. I remember I had to vote Fidesz, because I got told that the liberal party masquerading as social democrats called MSZP wants to bring back communism and nix all intellectual jobs they can, because "worker's party". Meanwhile, Fidesz nixed all intellectual jobs they could, because they want to build a "work based society". Then all the old people I hated who only liked "communism" because of the authoritarianism suddenly became Fidesz voters, some even celebrated the "return of communism to Hungary", because for them communism was equal with Stahanovist work moralism, which the capitalists in our country have appropriated to themselves. Get ready to work for "at least he works even if it's not much money" style praises, which makes me wish hell was not only real, but that these people had a special place there, very deep down.

    Liberals will always put corporate interests ahead of the rights of the people. Of course they’d rather have happy people and happy corpos, but when push comes to shove they are always more willing to hand the keys to fascists than socialists. At least the fascists believe in capitalism.

    marxist is stuck in an election with a liberal and a fascist and an anarchist

    marxist votes for self and gives election to fascist

    marxist doesn't care because their purpose was to destroy the nice liberal state they live in to give their life purpose and make their larp universe real

    ps. anarchist never mattered

    I’m all in on trying to reform tbh. If we want to do it right though, we need to change the voting system on in each state, like Alaska and Maine did.

    Having an alternative voting system is how we can get more candidates like Mamdani in office, since we don’t have to worry about vote splitting between our preferred candidate and the incumbent.

    First Past the Post voting is the predominant method for how voting is done in the US. It’s a winner takes all system where you can only pick one of the candidates on the ballot. I feel alternative voting makes way more sense since you can pick your preferred candidate(s) first and then have some back up options you’re personally okay with winning. We end up with so many do nothing incumbents since people worry about splitting their vote so much and letting the worst candidate win, due to the flaw of the system.

    Let’s get the word out about alternative voting systems and organizations that promote them. Get involved locally can help scale it up as well. NYC uses an alternative voting system for instance.

    1. Only post socialist memes

    That refers to funny image macros and means that generally videos and screenshots are not allowed. Exceptions include explicitly humorous and short videos, as well as (social media) screenshots depicting a funny situation, joke, or joke picture relating to socialist movements, theory, societal issues, or political opponents. Examples would be the classic case of humorous Tumblr or Twitter posts/threads. (and no, agitprop text does not count as a meme)

    "X has two bullets" is an established joke format. That the liberal gives the gun to the fascist is ironic in that it subverts the usual formula of someone being shot twice, which is itself based in irony, as one would originally expect two people to be shot. The fact that it's an accurate metaphor for actual politics is necessary; if it weren't we'd all think the joke doesn't make sense.

    It’s not funny, though.

    It’s just stupid. Top to bottom, left to right. There’s no angle that is funny or enlightened.

    The twist is lame. The original premise isn’t funny. Certainly not ‘funnier’ than the propaganda the premise is trying to deliver.

    The whole fucking thing is just a Schrödinger’s asshole setup with a different sort of joke than we’re used to with those setups.
    If you buy into the agitprop, it reinforces purity testing and infighting, while undermining solidarity between people who could find common ground.
    And if you don’t, then it’s just a joke, bro.

    Pretty sure the original post is by a western, native English-speaking anarchist. She’s a YouTuber and I’ve watched a couple of her videos, which I found pretty good.

    You’re welcome to disagree with her but the xenophobic assumptions don’t really add anything of value to the conversation here.

    Depends on. If they're a "Marxist-Leninist" (read: Stalinist), they would shoot the liberal and the anarchist, then try to negotiate with the fascist. It they're an actual Marxist, they would shoot the fascist and the liberal, then try to negotiate with the anarchist.

    What's there to negotiate? Once the fascists and the liberals are out of the way the Marxists and Anarchists can start a stateless society based on mutual cooperation. It's a win-win.
