me saying “fascism cannot be voted into office”—in countries that are colonialist and/or imperialist from their inception, such as the US and germany—means that the rise towards the inevitable fascist order began when europeans set foot on the shores of west africa...

...not whenever (x) [s]elected upholder of the fascist order was elected into office, lol. can you lot please stop being intellectually lazy and disingenuous? obviously hitler and trump were both “elected”—but clearly fascism did not begin nor end w/ either of them

fascism is a sociopolitical system of governing, so while yes, the ruling class technically “allows” its subjects to vote for & “elect” (w/conditions) whomever will be the upholder of said system. it’s the system itself that needs undoing, not just the figurehead representing it.

the ruling class will relieve trump of his duties of upholding the white supremacist fascist order and replace him w/ someone who will effectively do it with grace and class (s/o obama!)—as liberals like it—it may be biden, or kamala, or clinton!

...but, it’ll still be fascism.

germany enslaved and massacred africans with impunity CENTURIES prior to hitler even being alive and you think fascism started with hitler? hahaha please fuck off

if not hitler, it would’ve been some other german dude named jürgen schwarzkopf or some shit to maintain the order
