A military coup would create a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie ^oh^ ^noes^

but it's going to be the wrong bourgeoisie you see and the veneer of democracy will be gone so people won't be able to pretend that it's anything but that

Honestly? Critical support for whatever putschists are out there, when it comes to toppling the liberal state. I wouldn't stick my neck out or anything for them, but in the imperial core? Hell if I care if they burn the place to the ground, it may be spite politics but if they go after the libs even better.

I increasingly think Chiang Kai-shek had it almost right, but in the opposite direction- fascists are a disease of the skin, albeit a severe one. Liberals are a disease of the heart (CKS wasn't a liberal, but basically he was the real issue). One will burn itself out ravaging the skin, the other will take society straight to hell along with them.
