Yeah but the neolib types want to deregulate unions and praise people like Jared Polis who use permitting reform to attack labor. Abundance from a socialist/socdem perspective is good but we need to remain skeptical. thebaffler.com/latest/abund...

Man so much I want to say about the fascism debate but posting about it isn't long enough for the many topics I want to talk about...maybe I need to write this down on a substack or something.

It's not even about being nostalgic for marxist states to fight fascism you need armed struggle. I don't think you should use the word Fascism if your still going to continue going about your day normally. That's why I don't like using that word you need to live up to the hype then.

It has aged well...Trump is certainly terrible but I see no point in calling it fascism even with all that has happened. My main gripe with calling it fascism is that it was beaten by state socialism. The opposition to fascism was the revolutionary regime of the Soviet Union.

All that is happening is an evolution of our neoliberal system of Keystroke(credit creation, high interest rates, bailouts), Finance(banks, private equity, hedge funds, real estate), and Monopoly Capitalism.

Weaponizing the payment system is catastrophic. As usual the MMTers are the obvious ones to understand and report this than anyone else.

Very much the MMT/Post-Keynesian take here would be we to tax the rich not because we need their money but because we need to tax their power. This level of gargantuan wealth we have is destabilizing.

Nah John Mearsheimer is king.

Even with all that is happening I still refuse to call it Fascism. This is just a part of our history, unfortunately.

Free speech is dead. This is an escalation to an awful degree.

I've thought of this too. We are in our Yeltsin era.

The Republicans messing up so bad is such a gift to corporate Democrats. They'll use this as an excuse to continue the decline. No lessons learned.

They are going to start faking the economic stats aren't they?

The Dems have an opportunity after these awful tariffs come into effect. I suspect they'll do everything to blow it. Hope to be wrong.

Oh man...the Tariffs are now in effect on Mexico and Canada here we go!

In light of the disastrous Ukraine and US meeting today anything is possible now. I wouldn't be surprised if NATO collapses at this point.

Looks like Mearsheimer was right. The Ukraine deal so far seems like nothing. This war will continue and be settled on the battlefield. Tragedy of course.

Tragic, we need wealth redistribution and predistribution if not this country will fail if it hasn't already.

Very true, possibly the most consequential and barbaric atrocity in the 21st century so far. The Democrats paid the immediate consequence this last election but more will come.

Some accounts here keep hoping for some liberal tea party movement in 2026 but what if the actual alternative is just more losing to Repubs? So far the Dems are cowering in fear doing nothing.

China could solve its consumption problem while also lowering unemployment by passing a 32 hour workweek into law. Although they won't do it. They have this neolib belief in overworking, unfortunately.

He wants to turn what is left of Ukraine into a resource colony for raw materials. He probably wouldn't even mind cooperating with the Russians on some of the occupied territory they have now. Although none of this is surprising just sad, really.

You are not "decadent" for not voting and sitting out the election. Some of the accounts on this website are nuts.

Yes! It is so bad. You got the loser alt-right types on Twitter and here on Bluesky you have liberal internationalists wanting to start World War 3...it's BEYOND awful.
