No, neoliberalism is not “just as bad.” It is stupid. It is wrong. It is treacherous. It is fucked up. But. it. is. not. fascism.

I’m sad you have fallen for the trap that trump/repub is a greater evil, when it is only a different evil. why do marginalized people not vote? because nothing changes for them under either major party. it’s insane to think repeating the same cycle will change anything.

Very true, Marianne, and we have to keep definitions discreet and respected.

this feels very 2003ish. not good.

When was the last "fascist regime" in the traditional sense? Meanwhile neoliberalism in Latin America has destroyed public health, massacred civilians, militarized police, raped the land & handed keys of government over to cartels. The focus on pure fascism is a scapegoat today

Breonna Taylor was murdered by police using a "no-knock" warrant. That "no-knock" warrant is the result of the 1986 & 1988 Crime Bills championed by Joe Biden. Joe Biden Has DESTROYED Black Lives. #JimCrowJoe #BreonnaTalyor #JoeBidenIsARacist #JoeBidenKamalaHarris2020

Fascism is defined as authoritarianism with forcible oppression of the opposition With that said how are Obama and Biden not fascists after seeing their treatment of Edward Snowden, Julian Assange and Chealsea Manning?

The US has been run by organized crime families and aristocracies for centuries. The Bush family profited off German Nazis. The Clinton dynasty has blood in its hands. Same goes for the Obama/Biden administration. It takes a "strongman" to fight the mafia. Trump is not a fascist.
