Red scare still happening to this day, censor everything for the protection of our great capitalism!

[–] LemmysMum@lemmy.world 52 points 1 year ago (15 children)

Fuck capitalism.

Fuck neo-nazis dressing up in drag to play leftist too.

[–] jimmydoreisalefty@lemmus.org 6 points 1 year ago (14 children)

Neo-Nazis employ their ideology to promote hatred and racial supremacy (often white supremacy), to attack racial and ethnic minorities (often antisemitism and Islamophobia), and in some cases to create a fascist state.

Not sure what "left" or "right" mean anymore. I thought nazi would be on the right?

Either way this divides us instead of coming together as working class vs wealthy class.

Left stands for equality, right stands for hierarchy

That is in theory.

When you talk to actual people, I do not think they see it that way.

I still see it as a dividing mechanism that the wealthy class uses to divide the working class.

Well like it or not, some members of the working class want to perpetuate hierarchy, so it's a useful distinction.

[–] jimmydoreisalefty@lemmus.org 0 points 1 year ago

Yes, it is a distinction, jargon used in politics.

I still see it as a learning and teaching opportunity when you meet people like that.

Hard to change minds and you need to listen much more than talk, neutral stances as a start then as you are more of an acquaintance you can get into the nitty-gritty topics.

Thanks for pointing it out!
