Except in the present....Location: Fighting fascism everywhere
I wouldn't go that far, but this vanessa person seems to be a little oversensitive on the issue and unfourtunately has the power to shut down threads. (Without even explaining herself!)Galt wrote:Question: How do you know when conventional wisdom on a topic is bullshit?
Answer: When you're not allowed to discuss it.
Well, according to you, Fascism can only exist with Socialism present. Since there is no Socialism anywhere, you obviously would have to think that Fascism is no threat in the present. Ergo: you don't fight it in the present.Funk N. Furter wrote:whatTomViolenz wrote:Except in the present....Location: Fighting fascism everywhere
We've been over this, no need to repeat the discussion. Maybe me pointing to your moto, was not appropriate. Let's drop it, nothing new is gonna come of this discussion.Funk N. Furter wrote:You are confusing socialism and socialism, fascism and fascism.TomViolenz wrote:

Anything wrong with my reasoning?!
Socialism can be an economic and social structure with the workers democratically running things. This has never existed. But socialism is also a movement. As Marx said:
"Communism is for us not a state of affairs which is to be established, an ideal to which reality [will] have to adjust itself. We call communism the real movement which abolishes the present state of things. The conditions of this movement result from the premises now in existence."

Part I: Feuerbach.

Likewise fascism can mean a fascist state like Nazi Germany, a mass movement that's not actually captured power like the Nazis around 1930-33, or simply a state of mind and an ideology as in an individual fascist, a person who believes in some of the principles of fascism (eg denying free speech, persecuting socialists, victimising minorities).
He's also confusing socialism and socialism with socialism. Maybe it's a language thing (most people here are brainwashed anlgoamericans), but in Europe socialism usually means socialism and not socialism. Also, fascism can't exist without fascism, as I have previously explained.TomViolenz wrote:We've been over this, no need to repeat the discussion. Maybe me pointing to your moto, was not appropriate.

I wonder what they call people like you in Italy?![MHEO] wrote:you keep on talking about "fascism" but you only read it on history books...That is why that "motto" seems so "cool": because your "fighting against fascism everywhere" means something even an american can accept. It is a question of bad conscience: you talk about "antifascism", but... "hey... I am a friend of americans, I am not antiamerican... because it sounds xenophobe". In the rest of the (anarchist) world the term "antiamericanism" has this precise meaning: opposition to U.S. war crimes. The fact an anarchist, antifascist and antiracist was banned for "racism and xenophoby" by american racists here explains well you are looking for "fascism everywhere"... like this:
Oh, and Galt is what we in Italy call "il tipico fascista"
No, I think I've been nearer the mark on several occasions.[MHEO] wrote:"il tipico anarchico antifascista"TomViolenz wrote:I wonder what they call people like you in Italy?![MHEO] wrote:you keep on talking about "fascism" but you only read it on history books...

we usually get banned (by fascists and such)

i came back to see what generalizations and accusations i'd missed and how off the mark and skewed the perspective could have been twisted by now... only to read a page of funken arguing with himself.
someone in a country shaped like a boot is cursing "angloamericans" while accusing our new mod of being one of the brainwashed ones with the certainty and ferocity of a honey badger.
