You can't fight fascism with fascism.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_religion
The pillars of patriotism in the US's popular imagination are freedom and opportunity. It's ridiculous to say that any invocation of patriotism is civil religion or fascism, especially when people like AOC are right to say that they're the real patriots. Progressives need to reclaim the term because they actually do stand for the ideals that the American public thinks of when they think of patriotism. Meanwhile the GOP and power brokers at the top of the DNC are obviously enemies of the people who have embraced fascism, trample on constitutionally protected rights, and set up an economy that restricts people's opportunity as much as possible. The contrast couldn't be clearer and it needs to be addressed.
I gotta ask... why do you post this link in like every other comment?
It needs strong, compassionate, cooperative anarchism
