@turncoattradition @theorytoe @PhenomX6 @TheEternalBungholio communists called socdems fascists. stalin said that when the proletariat is defeated that the bourgeoisie don't actually need full fascism to hold power, they can install socdems which are "objectively the moderate wing of fascism." if you take it to its conclusion anybody on the left who is not a communist should probably not be agreeing with communists on it because they think you're a fascist too. I will not defend or criticize this view, it just is what it is.
