Six Things I Think: The Enemy of My Enemy Is Still a Fascist, Actually (Link)

 


Editor’s note: our Six Things I Think feature is a type of post I use when I want to cover a lot of ground about a multi-faceted topic very quickly. Although you don’t strictly *have to* click on every citation link in this essay, you might want to at least read the headline articles, and watch the embedded videos, as they each frame the discussion immediately underneath them.


Please also note that this article is part of the “Amerikan Musik: Fascism Ascendant in the USA” collection on ninaillingworth.com.


Ok, so I'm definitely aware I've been away for almost a week but I'm hoping by the time you click on the link to this article, you'll understand why - it's pretty, extensive.


What is it? An extremely detailed, multi-media Deep Dive post explaining why Boogaloos are fascists, Jimmy Dore is no leftist, and online pinkos have a crypto-reactionary infuencer problem.


Finally I guess I should warn you that I wasn't exactly thrilled about having to spend 9,000 words explaining to pinkos who don't read theory, why we don't make alliances with fascist militias; it's funny, but I'm not pulling punches out of respect for your faves, and there's quite a good deal of profanity in the piece. I literally do not care if this makes folks mad because going along to get along with reactionaries and fascists is no way to do leftism.

Patreon Blog Link: On Mea Culpas, the Populist Alliance & the Young American Left

 


Editor's note: so this is really more of a Theory and Politics kind of piece, but since the initial proposal that started the online debate I'm talking about in this essay comes from a popular Youtube channel, and the guy making the proposal is left wing independent analyst Jimmy Dore, it's categorically a "media" article - it's just not about corporate monopoly media.

Fresh off a (fully earned) online thrashing for opening my big fat mouth in the middle of a leftist community Twitter debate, I sat down to compose a mea culpa, talk about why the American left might as well use an almost certain-to-fail Medicare for All vote to launch a civil war against Bidenist neoliberalism, and to explain why I still don’t think it’s a good idea to associate ourselves with folks pushing a left-right, anti-establishment, populist alliance.
