Fuck Meloni. Fuck the far right.

I understand and agree. But being complicit and helping the genocide (and basically enabling it by not saying it is one out loud) could be considered evil.

Now, Biden may not be evil. But it's foreign policy in this regard might be.

Still, the genocide will be carried out. But enabling it does not help. And I say it again. If Biden is evil, it does not matter. It is better than Trump. You do not need to portray him in a good light. He just needs to be supported more than Trump. Vote Biden.

We Argentinians elected a fascist as president. I can and would have got behind the right if it meant stopping this pos.

I understand where are you coming from. But you honestly believe that a person that enables genocide abroad isn't evil?

[–] aliteral@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

That is a good question. But still, not a gotcha. Communism does not mean centrally controlled food supply. A lot of man made famines have existed in the history of mankind, yet this is the only one that gets used to demonize a socio-political system. To be fair, im not invested in the history of Ukraine nor the Soviet Union to explain the details of what happened. Although it is possible that what you mention has a good amount of merit in the situation, never are this things so clear. I guess it was a factor, but how big, I can not tell right now.

As a South American who had to choose between right and extreme right, being a leftist, I completely understand the frustration about voting Biden. And what's more, agree completely he does not deserve to be voted. But, in order to defeat fascism and with all other cards now played, Biden is the lesser of two evils and taking the moral high ground could result on fascism taking over the USA. I suggest voting for Biden. My two cents...

No one denies Holodomor. It happened. The funny thing is you can't fully point at it with your finger and say "it happened cause communism" but most genocides the US did can and will be pointed at with the "that's cause capitalism".

Of course it was horrible. Of course it should not happen again. And should not have happened. But it is not the gotcha you think it is.

Also, you'll surely understand that Soviet Communism in that specific period is not the only type of communism that existed, right?

I agree that porn is not good for the brain. And i tends to portray women as submissive. Still, i do not believe it is necesary to ban it outright in this way. What a weird legislation.

Sounds like something the far right would encourage. If it is only in Madrid, well, you should know about Isabel Diaz Ayuso.

How people don't understand this concept is incredible to me.

I do not see anything Milei does a new.

[–] aliteral@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Literally an argument used by Mileists here. And also conservatives.

We could start by agreeing on the definition of the term. Because 30s fascism is no more, and that is a fact. What constitutes fascism in todays world? As an Argentinian, the USA meddled with my country via dictatorship whthin operation Condor. That amounts to fascism, or at least, a subtype of it. I think Frank Zappa warned us about this...
