It falls down to your opinions and not what flag you carry.
I think his point is when you are far enough on any side of the spectrum, everyone else gets lumped together with the more problematic version of the opposition.
Capitalists aren't fascists but I wouldn't be surprised to read an essay from someone on the far-left making that point.
Socialists aren't communists but you can frequently see this point being made by the far right.
This collective false dichotomy complex is a direct result of FPTP and the erosion of the education system having made choosing governance a team sport
We even have mascots
A lot of far left theory sees fascism as a result of capitalism. To defend the private property from the socialists one needs a group that zealously defends some in-group where the capitalists belong against some outgroup that contains the socialists. Something along those lines
I don't see how that holds up when historically capitalists have put their power behind the fight against fascism more often than not.
did they tho? you seem to be under the impressionthat nazis wern't caitalists, this is wrong. infact the reason the UA diden't go faschist was the socialists, hell the big capitalists actualy tried to overthrow the goverment and install a faschist.
They definitely always fought against socialism greatly hindering the fight against fascism
What do you mean? The fight against communism is well-known because they don't recognize the validity of the concept of property, hence natural ennemies to capitalists for sure.
But a lot of the "bourgeoisie" put their capital towards the tyrannical nature of a failing monarchy turning fascist in their methods.
