This is the moment that Donald Trump threatens an ABC reporter after they asked about free speech. Speaking with ABC News Chief Washington Correspondent Jonathan Karl on Tuesday (16 September), the president appeared to become annoyed after the reporter asked him about Pam Bondi’s crackdown on “hate speech”. “A lot of your allies say hate speech is free speech,” Mr Karl said, to which Mr Trump responded: “She’d probably go after people like you because you treat me so unfairly. It’s hate. You have a lot of hate in your heart.” After slamming ABC, the president claimed that he “wants everything to be fair” and placed blame with the “radical left who have done tremendous damage to the country”.
Well instead of dealing with their fascist problem after WWII, they decided to repress (and sometimes kill) the most reliable antifascists - the leftists.
That said some countries that objectively did purge their fasists seem to still have that problem today. Perhaps the theory that capitalism creates fascism as it declines predicts this.
Capitalism creates an environment of fear and danger and promotes of level of individual responsibility that alienates people from everyone else. Even people who are well off today are afraid of losing advantages and being hung out to dry by the very same uncaring system they keep supporting.
It’s not that cut and dry. There is a lot of overlap between capitalism and communism.
I never said the solution was full-blown communism. God, have the barest capability of nuance.
You clearly aren’t smoking responsibly if you genuinely believe that to be true.
You don’t understand Marx or Lenin if you don’t understand their belief in the relationship between capitalism and communism.
My point was that there’s more nuance than just “capitalism always causes social fragmentation”
Go on…
Ok, help me understand it then.
Are you referring to purging facists after Nazi Germany fell?
Well, I guess the Soviet Union didn’t really help there.
We also literally imported their scientists
After directly inspiring their eugenics efforts.
Not just their scientists.
