    The hell ya taking about? Liberals are center, they go along with anybody as long as you “compromise”. I personally find it hilarious that both the right and left complain about liberals being in bed with the other side.

    And tankies aren’t really left for the same reason nazis (national SOCIALIST) aren’t really left. Wonder how it came to be that nazis are the face of extreme right and tankies are the face of extreme left, despite them both being totalitarian fascists. In Germany the nazis were literally stealing the communist vote, they’re building on the same appeal. The idealogy of “we’re more deserving of life, because…” doesn’t really care about the because part. Left/right politics are irrelevant in the face of totality.

      This right here. There’s a reason that fascism used to be called “the third position” in reference to the first two, Capitalism and Communism, and it’s because it is neither of those things but a separate third thing. It’s neither right nor left, it’s off the axis. I mean come on, the only time in history communism and capitalism actually kinda worked together was literally to kill those fucking guys.

      There’s also a reason it isn’t called that anymore, it’s so that those on the communism side can say capitalists are nazis while those on the capitalist side say no u. We’d rather use them as a scapegoat to vilify others by associating them with nazis than be accurate about the fact that fascism is neither.
