  1. ​ @frankie4827  "Fascism is the exact opposite of Marxian socialism." ~ Mussolini, defining fascism for an Italian encyclopedia. Who is always claiming to be fighting socialism, putting on ultra-nationalistic performances, and had the majority of their members of congress and their cult leader try to outright overthrow the democratic process?

  2. ​ @frankie4827  Hey MAGA moron, "Trump's" big stock market gains occurred during his first year, while Obama's last budget was still in effect. The stock market basically flatlined, at the start of 2018, when Trump's first budget, and his tax breaks for corporations and the rich, kicked in. Even with all the stock buybacks, falsely inflating stock values, that corporations spent their tax breaks on, the stock market barely held its head above water. There has been no major change in border policy, and no open borders. Your type keeps whining about drugs, when it has been well documented, for decades, that drugs mainly come across at legit border crossings. Drug dealers don't want their drugs washed down the river, or stuck in holding, dumb dumb. Plus, Trump had more border crossings, averaged out per year, than Obama. He wasn't better at it than the guy before him. Gas prices started jumping under Bush. People don't seem to know that US oil companies have long complained that OPEC kept oil prices too low. Oil costs more to produce, in North America, so there's less of a profit margin. As soon as the US got a foot in OPEC, by invading Iraq, prices started jumping, handing US oil companies the larger profit margins they wanted, from NA oil. Prices spiked to $4.40 (adjusted to 2023 dollars). By the end of Obama's presidency, prices had dropped to $2.59 (2023 dollars). The price went back up to around $3 (2023), under Trump, and only dropped in 2020 (globally) due to COVID, not due to anything Dumpty did. There is global inflation, due to rebounding from COVID, not due to anything Biden did. The US is actually doing better than many other countries.

  5.  @JohnJ469  Nonsense. All the fascists were backed by leading industrialists, large landowners, and even nobility, exactly because they opposed all forms of socialism. Their backers had previously backed other far right parties. They sometimes allied with other far right parties. They were the complete opposite, dumb dumb.

  6.  @JohnJ469  Mussolini literally denied the class struggle, at the heart of any kind of socialism, expecting people to just accept their lot in life, and work hard for the betterment of the nation. "Ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country." ~ JFK If your country isn't going to redistribute wealth, isn't going to give ownership to the workers, isn't going to provide a crap ton of socialized service, etc., it is far from being socialist. Quite the opposite. Simply doing things in a group isn't "socialism".

  7.  @frankie4827  You realize, at the time, whoever came in second was VP, right? Lincoln and Johnson didn't run together.

  8.  @JohnJ469  You are a complete and utter moron. There are 2 axes, economic and authoritarian, so the terms I used were just fine. To make out like a 100% privately owned and operated absolute monarchy (100% totalitarian capitalism) is samesies to a society with all worker owned industries and a direct democracy (100% anarcho-socialism), simply because the latter is a kind of "socialism" is absolutely nonsensical. You'd have to be dumber than a stump, to believe that. One person owning everything is the complete opposite of everything being publicly owned. One person being the ultimate authority is the complete opposite of authority being in the hands of everyone. Both Italy's and Germany's pre-war (all nations' war economies are more controlled) economies favoured privatization. They were leaders in it, at the time. Again, people just doing stuff together, as a group, isn't f*cking socialism. People could be trying to defeat socialism, as a group, and that's exactly what fascists tried to do. Nazis were literally arresting people for "illegal socialist activity", not "illegal international activity". Hitler literally killed off the left leaning members of his party on the Night of the Long Knives. He made a secret pamphlet, for his industrialist backers, telling them there would be no serious attempt to redistribute wealth. He handed his crony backers slave labour. He handed his crony backers Jewish businesses and property. He handed his crony backers seized businesses and property, after conquests. They got rich off of him. That's why they also stood trial, after the war, because they weren't doing it at gunpoint. To think that the monarch of Spain (who had enough military available to squash the fascists, but instead decided to back them, exactly because they had been fighting socialism), and other nobility, representing the epitome of private ownership, were socialists, is truly f*cking bizarre. Plenty of governments got bossy during wartime, dictating what needed to be produced, dictating what couldn't be hoarded, dictating lights out, etc., etc., etc. ... that doesn't equate to socialism either. Every country in WWII didn't suddenly become magically "socialist", just more authoritarian.

  9.  @JohnJ469  Marx's ideal was a stateless, non-authoritarian, direct democracy, form of socialism. The complete opposite is an ultra-nationalistic, authoritarian, anti-democratic, form of crony capitalism. That describes the Republican party, to a T.
