Should communism and marxism be held in check? How do you feel about preemptively attacking communists?
also how would you feel about fascists defining who is a communist and who isnt in order to determine who should be attacked and not allowed to speak?
I mean that's essentially what McCarthyism was.
Also what's wrong with communism? You have an argument for that or is it just a dirty word that isn't allowed in your free marketplace of ideas?
Here's the thing buddy - I don't fully subscribe to communism... I certainly don't support an accelerationist version that advocates for a revolution in which we pull out Madame guillotine and start cutting off the heads of CEOs. However if a communist revolution were to take place you know what you can do to not get the bullet? Give up your capital. Stop exploiting the worker. Pretty simple. You know what I could do to not be killed if the fash took over? Nothing. I already have breasts thanks to estrogen so I'm a degenerate with Jewish heritage... I might be able to hide those things, though likely not what with record keeping being what it is today, but I can't change them. I'd always be a target. A black guy could do even less. Kinda hard to hide your blackness.
The difference between communism and fascism is simple. One is a critique of an ideology. The other is the promotion of an identity and the destruction of anyone who doesn't belong to that identity.
