Went on there and found an article called “Fascism and The New Deal”, and I actually think that title is pretty fucking based. Of course the website explains that FDR was a fascist because of Big Gommunist Government and him being a
🚨LOONY LEFTIE🚨.
I just think it’s funny whenever communist and conservative language seems to align because of how completely delusional conservatives are. Makes me understand the liberal delusion of Horseshoe Theory just a little bit. I wonder if there’s any other examples of language lining up like this.
Calling FDR a fascist makes little sense from both a theory standpoint and a “how can we build socialism in the imperial core” standpoint. It matters to be careful with the term because calling everyone a fascist just gets people to tune you out.
He’s better held up as an example of (1) the flaws of liberalism, even when you have a liberal pushing an aggressive agenda with a ton of political power over ~15 years, and (2) the double standards applied designated western enemies; e.g., Japanese internment would be portrayed as some moral event horizon and compared to Nazi extermination camps had a Bad Country did it.
the bastard saved capitalism from itself and i’ll never forgive him for it.
