You don't understand, their support of lesser fascism is necessary to avoid the greater fascism, so by opposing them you're actually supporting the greater fascism

Yup. We need lesser of two in red districts and vote for our ideals in our safe districts to move the part as a whole.

I'm just so impressed by them. Forgoing all forms of capitalism so they are not totally responsible for the outcomes of capitalist society. It's a principled stance but living in stateless, technology absent, collectives outside the rule of the government is not an easy life.

i love the fact that their science says that the fact that their system has never worked proves that it will surely work next time

i think i prefer real science

I was talking about this with my wife. I'd live in a socialist or communist run government, at least the one they fantasize about, but I would never live long enough to see it enacted, as leftists envision.

So in my mind I have two choices that aren't exactly mutually exclusive:

1.) Openly support communism without thought about what the final outcome of that may actually be because I won't be alive to guide it (as if I'd have much say).

2.) Just keep working to make the world I live in better

Both are fine options and I can do both but they would have me chose the former and exclude the latter.
