You can calmly debate the fascist. Carefully take apart every argument of his and provide evidence for each claim you’re making.
He will still turn around and order your execution. Fascism isn’t a rational force, it’s a tool of class warfare. You don’t argue with the knife.

Using Gramscian and Fanonian theories, this paper examines counter-hegemony through two 20th-century movements: Italian mondine (rice weeders) and the Black Panther Party. These movements met crise...

The occupation of Iraq was justified through same rhetoric we hear now about Iran: weapons of mass destruction, saving women & queers, clash of civilizations etc
the task of anti-imperialist left is not to litigate the veracity of these allegations, but to refuse racist premise for imperialist war

Just a reminder that Orwell’s protagonist in 1984, Winston Groom, works as a copy editor, except that his job entails endlessly “correcting the data” so that the archival record conforms to the Party’s preferred fictions, and what is “known” becomes a principal instrument of conformity.

I was imagining today what the world would be like if there were no borders at all. If hoarding wealth was so looked down upon that no one even thought of it. If those who were able took care of those who were not. If all the good things we imagine we want for ourselves, we made sure everyone had.

This is fascism
Fascism starts with talk, not tanks. With democratic elections, not a coup. And it takes hold thanks to people who think things won’t move quickly—until they do just that.

I cannot emphasize this enough, an Israel-Western regime change operation against Iran would lead to hundreds of thousands of deaths. We have seen this play out before, several times in the past decades. Anyone who tries to justify this madness will have blood on their hands.

Israel is the spear-tip of Western imperialism in the region, and Netanyahu is now openly calling for assassination and regime change in Iran. They want to destroy the country to extend their hegemony. These people are murderous monsters, all of them.

Just a reminder that the West destroyed Iran’s progressive democracy in 1953, deposing a leader beloved of the people, and installed a dictatorship in his place. The US and UK have been terrorising that country for as long as any of us have been alive. It’s sick.

It is absolutely appalling what is happening in the US right now. Shoving kids and their mom into a tiny box like cargo. there is just so much about this that is fucked up.
These people were following the law and went to check in with immigration like they are supposed to.
This woman's immigration case was dismissed, which made her immediately undocumented.
So ICE took her into custody.
The air conditioning was off in the back of the truck.
