I can see it. DARVO tactics are precisely what one would expect from Contrarianism. They telegraph their objectives by what they accuse others of doing.

Just to add here, you can collapse that 3D graph into its 2D hyperplane, and it becomes the political compass.
-1,-1 on the left marks the absence of formal political and economic classes (egalitarianism). +1,+1 on the right marks the presence of formal economic and political classes (despotism).

Social democrats are moderates in Europe. That’s the point. What is considered extreme socialism in the US is usually just a normal social democratic stance in Europe.
American culture is notorious for appropriating (ie. plagiarizing) words and changing the definitions to suit their own needs.

It’s indicative of a bourgeois mentality. Constantly thinking in future objectives, detached from the now.
The DNC think they’re being strategic, but the Right already knows that their objective is the Center, which means their own strategy is to wait until Liberals inevitably abandon the Left.

I deviate from Marx on this, and sympathize more with the Bakunin side more on these.
D’Hupay coined the term in the 1780’s relative to community ownership. Conceptually, I treat them as complementary views of the left, different axes.
Don’t know if you remember this xyz graph, but like this.

Yes, Americans have been lied to. No, these are Marxist-Leninist definitions.
Socialism is worker ownership, not state ownership. State ownership is state capitalism, not socialism.
In fact, here’s Chomsky discussing how Leninism co-opted terminology.

This is categorically false. Allism and Autism, bound together, form a spectrum of the human primate’s neurocognition.
You’re starting from the affirmation of a disjunction (contrarianism), and flirting with racism by dividing conspecifics into distinct groups based on physical characteristics.

Actually, communism here isn’t. But communism is about community ownership, and is the default mode from which humans evolved.

The ad hominem is an emotional response. It’s happening because you’re realized that I’m correct.
I’m talking about the word fascism as it applies to political theory as well. It is literally the ideology of the state, and judicial authority is inherently a political concept.
You are confused.

The etymology is clear. The problem is that you didn’t understand what the fasces represents, and you built a worldview based on judicial authority. That’s one of liberalism’s internal contradictions.
All those exclusive property rights require an arbiter class, or a state, to enforce.

Nah. I’m equating fascism with the fasces, a symbol of judicial authority, as per the etymology.
Not sure what classifying people by race accomplishes here, given that the entire notion of race is nonsensical and rejected by modern science.
I’m afraid you haven’t made a very convincing argument.

Well, we’re talking about what the definition of the fasces symbol is. Which is judicial authority, or the state. That’s an attested fact.
What you’re saying is that fascism is fine under certain circumstances, which, of course, is not an anti-fascist stance, but more of a liberal stance.

Are we to understand that your understanding of fascism requires removing judicial authority (ie. the state) from the definition of the concept?

I’m sorry, but that’s an irrational and circular argument. The kind of argument that comes from disembodied and abstract reasoning.
The etymology is the baseline definition. To remove that baseline definition requires unseeing it, and re-assigning a counter-factual baseline. The synchronic meaning.

Etymological meanings are definitions. The diachronic meaning of a word requires not detaching relativity. The etymon is the baseline definition from which a later morpheme evolved.
The fasces is an attested symbol of judicial authority, and state is the judicial monopoly on violence.

More specifically, I’m suggesting that a bourgeois “Cognitive Revolution” flooded forth thousands of years ago, and we’ve been “revolving” in circles and permanent revolution ever since.

You don’t need to convince me that moving towards a form of socialism/communism is the way forward.
I’m stating that doing so is more of a restoration because that would have been the original mode of production.
What might look like revolution in the short-term is restoration of the long-term.

Yep, Mussolini’s definition is the general go-to, but the fasces, which is basically a bundle of sticks/arrows, was the symbol he adopted because it was originally the Roman symbol of judicial authority. Etymologically speaking.

If anything, it’d be a Restoration of the default mode of production that we evolved from: some mixed form of community and worker management over the means. The set of people who make up the community and the set who make up the workers overlap significantly.

If you want to acknowledge being a paid partisan, that’s on you for bringing it up.
You argued against egalitarianism, and for the state capitalism of the Liberals. So, the right-wing worldview that you’re presenting is on you.
