What has Biden done to oppose fascism other than not having an orange spray tan? Sure, he may be a senile racist, rapist, reactionary war criminal, but he lacks an orange spray tan and his dementia causes him to sound more confused than unhinged. Don't you know fascism doesn't have content or policies it is merely being racist on TV with a weird affectation like a funny mustache or orange spray tan.
It doesn't matter that Biden has continued Title 42 and increased ICE activity so that he not only outstrips Trump, but is gunning for Obama's title of "Deporter in Chief". It doesn't matter that he has undone any COVID precautions and is trying to get rid of any data and reporting to help the pandemic be ignored. It doesn't matter than he and the Democrats didn't do anything to protect trans rights or abortion rights (even when they had the ability to fight back, even if limited). It doesn't matter that the Biden administration used the COPS program to make sure police departments get increased funding, despite whatever local governments voted to give as a compromise to BLM.
Biden is fighting fascism by being a different person than Trump. In the literal sense, obviously they are figuratively the same person.
You're here to engage in revisionism and pull us to the right. Just know we always punch right, so if you don't want to get hit, don't stand there.
President of Socialist Party of Zambia: Human development is not sustainable on basis of plunder
The US is an illegitimate country built on the enslavement of other human beings, the exploitation of Africans, the humiliation of Africans, the plunder of Africa and all of these go double for the entire Global South.
Presidents don't matter, really. They will always represent the interests of the capitalist class, and the deep state (or, permanent government, whom survive transitions of power).
We're not going to support fascism, no matter the circumstances. We're not going to support fascists, no matter if they are "less fascist" than other fascists (which makes no fucking sense).
We're also not going to play into electoralist nonsense. Revolution first, reform second.
You can't reform a system that is controlled by the class that necessarily must be eliminated to liberate everyone. What ruling class would allow their power to be voted away? Has that ever happened? No it hasn't, and it isn't going to happen
How could
ever work?
And I don't think "we" will be on the same side either so don't include yourself
