Ardy’s<p>The democrats are a center-right party - you can see what they're doing to Mamdani simply because he has the gall to be an actual opposition candidate. The democrats are NOT going to materially oppose the fascism of MAGA.</p><p>I doubt many people want to hear this, but the USA probably does actually need a proper communist party, and it needs to work with existing trade unions as well as help organize and improve the lives of enormous numbers of precarious / gig / contract workers. </p><p>Defeating this wave of fascism will probably also require other measures, but coordinated solidarity and general strikes have historically been fairly effective tools against the consolidation of fascist power. For a lot of reasons, I am pretty pessimistic about the ability of scrappy local antifascist organizing to accomplish this.</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/@risibledog/114774348929599574" translate="no" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">infosec.exchange/@risibledog/1</span><span class="invisible">14774348929599574</span></a></p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/uspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>uspol</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/maga" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>maga</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fascism</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>trump</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/markzuckerberg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>markzuckerberg</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/jeffbezos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>jeffbezos</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/joerogan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>joerogan</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/elonmusk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>elonmusk</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/peterthiel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>peterthiel</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/oligarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>oligarchy</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>capitalism</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/communism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>communism</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/communistparty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>communistparty</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/antifascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>antifascism</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/generalstrike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>generalstrike</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/precarity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>precarity</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/solidarity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>solidarity</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/classwar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>classwar</span></a></p>
