A Marxist is stuck in a room with a liberal, a fascist, and an anarchist. The Marxist has one gun and two bullets. What does the Marxist do? Shoot the liberal and the anarchist.

(Based off actual historical events.)

The Marxist was the only one who gave the anarchist guns, tanks, and planes. But no, they're surely a bigger threat than the liberal and fascist.

Surely giving the gun to the fascist is a better decision. They'll just shoot themselves in the foot... Right?

They eventually do. Fascism encourages corruption and incompetence, social division and the fragmentation of non-governmental movements, local dissidents and autonomies. Mussolini was so incompetent that not only was Italy eventually invaded by the Allies and lost its sovereignty to the German Reich, but Benito himself was imprisoned, despite his escape he didn't make it to Switzerland and was hanged by Communist partisans. Hitler, on the other hand, also encouraged corruption and division within his own structures to prevent people from allying against him or creating opposition. Hitler himself was an incompetent idiot who interfered in the work of his generals. To the end, Adolf believed he could win the war, and when he realised the shit he had created, he shot himself. Fascists aren't smart or competent enough, they often rely heavily on people who can do things and who are bribed by the fascists to work with them. Hitler often used Göring's upper class position and connections with prominent aristocrats to get his ideas through, as Hitler himself was just a peasant born in a village with little education and was even homeless for a time. Hitler relied heavily on people more competent than him in important positions to get what he wanted, because he could do shit on his own.

Throw the gun away and beat thw shit out of the fascist with the other two would be my choice. That hurts more than a gunshot.

shoot himself in the foot and then the face?

[–] PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat 3 points 7 hours ago

This one, at least as applies to liberals in government in the USA, is a lot more accurate.

Oh and also they need some money for medical bills now. They’ll be sure to send you some texts about it.

I'd probably work towards getting out of the room tbh

A leftist is stuck in a room with another leftist and a fascist.

The leftist has one gun and two bullets, and they must be used.

What does the leftist do?

Shoot the other leftist twice.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 14 points 10 hours ago

... then claim the other leftist making an edgy joke at the age of 14 is a proof they were the real fascist.
