Democrats aren’t the opposition to fascism, they’re its beauticians. They don’t want to fight fascism, they want a version of fascism that follows the rules of respectability politics. They want a sensible, noncorrupt fascism that keeps thorough records of the people it kidnaps. They want a gentle fascism with body cameras to make sure the kidnappings stay “nonviolent” while they get a first person view of families being destroyed. They want a fascism with more humane concentration camps.
You know who is the actual political opposition to fascism? The mutual aid group in your city. The neighborhood group chat where community members talk to each other and keep each other safe. The rapid response networks. The tenant’s rights organizers. All the people out there building alternative power structures.
