SpaceNoodleWell, only kinda. They don’t actually know what the word “fascist” means.
They also don’t understand what liberal means, which means individual freedom, freedom of speech, private ownership and trial by jury, and basically the opposite of marxism or communism
The Marxist/Communist View: Speech is a tool of power. In a revolutionary state, speech that criticizes the party or promotes “capitalist values” is seen as a direct threat to the safety and progress of the working class. Therefore, the state must control media and education to ensure ideological unity.
The Conflict: You cannot have a state-directed “common good” if individuals are free to publicly argue against it.
The Marxist/Communist View: Justice is substantive or “Class Justice.” In many communist applications, the legal system exists to protect the revolution. If an individual is deemed a “class enemy” or “counter-revolutionary,” a trial by jury is seen as a dangerous hurdle.
The Conflict: A jury puts the power of judgment in the hands of random citizens rather than the Party. In Marxism, the Party is the vanguard of the people; allowing a jury to disagree with the Party’s accusation is a loss of control.
The Marxist/Communist View: The needs of the collective (the “Common Good”) outweigh the desires of the individual. Because the goal is to eliminate class struggle and ensure equal distribution, the state often must direct labor and resources where they are needed most.
The Conflict: If you are free to choose a path that doesn’t serve the collective plan, the plan fails. True individual freedom creates “anarchy of production,” which Marxism specifically aims to replace with central planning.
Marxism: Believes rights are socially constructed. Since the state creates the conditions for life, the state can grant or revoke “rights” based on what serves the progress of history.
I checked out at the obviously-AI copy-paste job with the numbered lists and shit.
I’m not opposed to communism as an idea, but it’s as realistic as the star trek universe it lives in right now. We need to push the needle left from “putting people in camps” way before we try to push the needle towards collective ownership.
Of course it’s AI (it should be obvious)… why would i spend time and effort trying to explain on a heavily marxist internet forum?
if you care about communicating ideas, put effort into trying, win or lose you’re actively learning human communication skills.
If you don’t care, well you get blocked and slowly shut out of more and more opportunity to either share your ideas or learn how to change your ideas based on more things you learn along the way.
If I wanted to read what an AI had to say, I would ask a fucking AI.
I wasn’t going to, I was still engaging in misplaced good faith that you give a fuck about being here, but I can see you obviously don’t.
When you grow up, maybe try again to dip your toes in this whole “sharing a world with other people’s perspectives and ideas” thing and see if you can learn something. The alternative is kinda bad so make good choices kiddo.
Never believe that anti‐ Semites fascists are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti‐Semites fascists have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past. It is not that they are afraid of being convinced. They fear only to appear ridiculous or to prejudice by their embarrassment their hope of winning over some third person to their side.
