I read this as muh education which works too

Department of Obfuscation although that applies to so many

Yeah, I butchered it also.

“Firstly, it is not true that fascism is only the fighting organisation of the bourgeoisie. Fascism is not only a military-technical category. Fascism is the bourgeoisie’s fighting organisation that relies on the active support of Social-Democracy. Social-Democracy is objectively the moderate wing of fascism. There is no ground for assuming that the fighting organisation of the bourgeoisie can achieve decisive successes in battles, or in governing the country, without the active support of Social-Democracy. There is just as little ground for thinking that Social-Democracy can achieve decisive successes in battles, or in governing the country, without the active support of the fighting organisation of the bourgeoisie. These organisations do not negate, but supplement each other. They are not antipodes, they are twins. Fascism is an informal political bloc of these two chief organisations; a bloc, which arose in the circumstances of the post-war crisis of imperialism, and which is intended for combating the proletarian revolution. The bourgeoisie cannot retain power without such a bloc. It would therefore be a mistake to think that “pacifism” signifies the liquidation of fascism. In the present situation, “pacifism” is the strengthening of fascism with its moderate, Social-Democratic wing pushed into the forefront.”

I am interested in your perspective on differences between the original writing and the use of the phrase today.

Angel of mercy, people are suffering All over the world A spanish boy could be killed every night of The week

[Verse 3] But just let some white boy die And the world goes crazy for blood - latin blood

From Adios Hermanos by Paul Simon

The rage only lasts as long as the addiction to the 24 hr news cycle allows. So, like, it’s already over.

Wow. I see the first four or five things you mentioned as the primary enablers of “this sort of thing,” if by that you mean the theft of resources and destabilization of governance in the global south.

Please don’t apologize. I was going more for the “social democracy is the left wing of fascism” point. I was thinking of the sides of the coin as being the ideologies of each, not necessarily their version of the propaganda in the meme. I particularly enjoyed the way you reiterated your point in the paragraph beginning “How this relates”

For clarification’s sake, the coin is capitalism.

I think assassination as a political tool is a few millennia too old to be just a putin thing.
