the left isn't the left from the 1990s. the left of the 1990s protested against globalization outside of the g7 meetings. the left occupied wall street hoping that bankers would be held accountable for ruining the economy. the establishment reacted to the left by co-opting it with the left. the left doesn't care about class warfare. it cares about identity politics. the goal is to get working class people fighting among themselves over shit that they can't change so no one is criticizing the establishment when the left talks about bashing fascism, they're not talking about real fascism, which is the merger of state and corporate power. fascism is working class people who think differently than you do. go beat up somebody's grandpa because you think he's racist. actual fascism (merger of state and corporate power) is things like the white house staff calling social media companies with a list of comments to remove and accounts to suspend. since the corporation is doing the actual censorship, the government isn't violating the 1st amendment. actual fascism is when the justice dept or the intelligence agencies form partnerships with telecommunication companies such that the companies no longer expect a warrant before sharing customer information. look up "third party doctrine." the justice dept's legal argument is that a person who willingly shares their information with a service provider ("third party") forfeits their 4th amendment right to privacy. the left is silent in the examples that i just provided. the left is too busy getting working class people canceled, fired, suspended, or publicly shamed. the bankers are laughing as the poor bash each other.
