Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

If your dad agrees with everything from socialism to class war and the only difference between you is about the necessity of physical violence, then he's hardly a "hardcore liberal", he just sounds like a leftist with different ideas thab yours imo
A "leftist" who believes there's an electoral solution to class war is functionally a liberal.
A “leftist” that thinks the violent overthrow of the majority is the solution to class war is functionally a fascist.
That doesn't track with my understanding. What's your definition of fascism?
Edit: to be clear, a socialist revolution is the triumph of the worker majority over the oppressive owner class. Not "overthrow of the majority".
You don’t think that violently installing yourselves as minority leaders of a majority in order to suppress opposition and subordinate individual interests is fascism? Well then, fuck. What is your definition?
That's not what I said. What's your definition of fascism?
You've edited in a significant amount, to avoid the fact that you're ducking the question.
I've already addressed that your characterization of a socialist revolution being some minority enacting violence on a majority is inaccurate.
Not a quote from the wiki article, or from what I've said.
Again, in your own words, can you share what you consider fascism to be?
Or are you unable to come up with a definition that matches your argument?
^ lemmygrads, this is why I hate the term fascism. It lets white supremacist liberals like the one above off the hook for the atrocities committed by their own countries. The only difference between the US and Nazi germany, is that the US was successful at carrying out its planned program of genocide and native eviction; the nazis failed at their attempt at copying the US model.
The only difference between the two capitalist-imperialist forms of government, is that bourgeois democracy is far better at genocide than any other form.
how about you answer the question first, buckaroo
You're right, Bob's Guns is a great track. I've never listened to Ludique before!
I'd also like to recommend Bones by Be Svendsen.
I dig it, thanks for sharing!
Hey, which "majority" are you talking about?
This needs to be an emoji, it fits perfectly here.
TIL that the bourgeoisie class is the majority 😂
