Sure, while you're building your revolution, don't betray your country to the actual freakin' fascists. The Republicans are not the party of big business anymore — that's the Democrats, who have done great things for the capitalist economy. Today's Republicans are the party of hate groups, Nazi street gangs, child abusers, rapists, thieves, and traitors.

I agree with you to an extent, but I also sympathize with the person above. I think it was Noam Chomsky who said this, but if each president after WW2 were brought before the Nuremberg Court, they'd be hanged for war crimes. I think when he said this he stopped at HW Bush, but Id be willing to bet it's true up to now.

This doesn't mean all sides are the same. I'm still going to vote Democrat in a general election, for the most part. But at the end of the day, they still push a globalist free-market ideology, they still promote war, and they still condone the surveillance of the American people, the imprisonment of dissidents and political threats, and the destruction of the environment in the name of profit.

Fascism is already here. It's the corporations (the rich) who hold power, and both neoliberals and conservatives work to uphold that dynamic so they themselves can maintain power.

Noam Chomsky should stick to linguistics because it's the only thing he's good at.
