[Marxism] Stan Goff, Bill Fletcher and the 2-party system

[Austin, Andrew]

I have no intention of frightening voters about imagined dangers.  I don't imagine things.  I am not a Democrat spreading disinformation to gain support for the party.  I am not a Democrat.  I am a Marxist and the threat of fascism is real.  The best weapon at the present moment to slow the momentum of the right-wing countermovement is the Democratic Party.  It's not complicated, Mark.  You effectively fail to act to slow the momentum of fascism by refusing to use the best weapon at your disposal.  Your position is the disturbing one, frankly - that you would render yourself ineffective in the struggle against fascism by acting ideologically instead of strategically.  It is also disturbing that you appear to believe that fascism is imagined.

Imminent fascism is the Democratic version of gay marriage...it says nothing
about practice and posits unrealized imaginary fears in an attempt to
terrify its voting base.  In its earliest days, the Democrats did this by
starting race riots to scare the Irish into voting.
