I find it interesting that people still demand any triage center against fascism be a perfect one. Any system that is inclusive will by the nature of humanity attract and include imperfect people, and that includes corrupt and ill meaning people who try to take it over and use it for themselves. It’s the job of the populace to rid their groups of those people, to cleanse their groups of corrupt individuals and take back control. I believe several of our founders addressed this issue and explained it was an inevitability that was the very reason they built the system they did instead of a permanent structure that couldn’t be changed, amended, and didn’t build one that had rulers that couldn’t be removed.
I would like a triage that actually worked, rather than one that advertised itself as such but then collaborated with the fascists
I think it is important to not satisfy yourself with what you have for fear of it getting worse. I also think it’s telling that you consider the Democratic Party merely imperfect, like your saucy uncle at the BBQ, and not evil, like a genocidal institution of white supremacy and global capitalist imperialism. Convenient that it is also up to the moral purity of the masses to prevent that violence as well, since that frees us of any interrogation into the inevitability of these systemic forces.
Guess the socioeconomic classes of those “founders,” and whether the current state of affairs in any way contradicts their beliefs in slavery as a necessary evil to maintain the composition of liberalism’s righteousness, or their willfullness to remove tyrranical rulers when they themselves began dismissing legal institutions within fifty years of establishing them (no, not to make them better, but to commit genocide against indigenous nations despite court rulings).
I wish this was just imperfect, but the Democratic Party is an existential threat not only to the vulnerable groups they purportedly advocate for, but all life on this planet.The gravity of that is unfortunately too heavy to satisfy ourselves with, “not everyone is perfect.” I can’t help but wonder if you’re among the people who have been targetted by their violence their entire lives, and whether you even defer to those people when forming your stance on this institution.
I mean, your saucy uncle is also a tool for geanocide, imperialism, and white supremacy. So am I. So are you it you live in…most of the west. If you are American, like me, you have to live in this country.
Not all of us are willing to opt out and move to a commune. Last I looked there were only like, 2 such communes in the US. So it eould really be starting a commune.
“Be mildly critical of the system I have limited power over? I might as well fucking drop my entire life.”
think I found a starting point for you. Why is that what you arrived at?
