How exactly? Other than excessive bloodshed, which - other than edgelord tankies - most people would neither want, nor have the stomach to pursue.
Maybe you shouldn't use terms if you don't understand them, liberal.
Anyone who uses liberal as an insult is incredibly cringe in my book.
There's nothing cringier than right-wingers who pretend they aren't right-wingers... ie, liberals. For people who can be called leftist with a straight face, "liberal" is quite the insult.
Wanna see what MLK had to say about liberals?
You lump us with fascists. "Scratch a liberal a fascist bleeds" has to be one of the most ridiculous things ever said. We're not your enemies! Democratic socialists are in the Democrat party in America. Social Liberals and Social Democrats have much more in common than Social Liberals and Conservatives. In Europe Liberals and moderate socialists form parliamentary coalitions
Really? Liberals are invested in the maintenance of the status quo, but aren't willing to do the dirty and bloody work that the maintanance of the status quo requires... fascists are. It's a match made in the deepest pits of hell. There's nothing new about this - the liberal Weimar regime climbed into bed with fascism right from the get-go to crush working class revolt. It's the same reason the liberals USians vote into the Waffle House are more interested in "reaching across the aisle" than actually doing anything to prevent white supremacist terrorism.
Who else will protect the capitalist world order for you, liberal? You? Who did you think maintains the murderous exploitation in the 3rd world that makes your glorious 1st world existence possible? It's fascists, genius... your precious world order cannot be maintained without them.
If a fascist regime rises, it's only because a liberal regime came before it that loosened the ground for it to grow.
Read the economy and class structure of german fascism if you want a detailed explanation for "scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds"
