Serious question: Can someone please explain to me how they think Liberalism with a capital “L” and capitalism survives after we do finally triumph over these fascists? From where I am standing, being a Liberal Capitalist seems to be the naïve position now. Musk and Trump are the system’s true form

I’m not optimistic that we can do better than a post apartheid South Africa system but it’s sure as hell better than whatever they are planning; and it’s something we can potentially build out of

we are going to have to detach liberalism, capitalism, and whatever we do next we literally cannot do this in anywhere near the same way we have. We have to have big imaginations now and truly start thinking of what we do next

If my choice was liberal capitalism or fascism, I would take the liberal capitalism. But it seems impossible any more to even think in terms of liberal capitalism. The material and ideal conditions no longer exist for it.

Bolivia’s “mixed capitalism” experiments seem intriguing (sorry to interlope this convo!)

How satisfying would it be to watch Jennings squarely kicked in the teeth with a steel toed boot when he arrogantly scoffs like he owns the truth?

That smug smirk and snort of "Oh please, that could never happen here" as he calls fascism by its name while it is in fact clearly in the process of happening here is so god damn insufferable.

People who care more about seeming "reasonable and moderate" in the face of fascism infuriate me.

finally somebody said totalitarian.

Exactly and the more we can see people start to gain the confidence to say what we are dealing with the more it’s going to happen publicly. We need the dam to break.

It's not an individual risk if literally everyone does it! Come Dembos find your courage.

this is why solidarity and community are so important when dealing with these forces because we need to have everyone’s back who is willing to speak up this loudly in this publicly, and we need to encourage as many people as we can have courage because we will have their back
