Awfully convenient for a communist magazine to deflect the origin of the Khmer Rouge away from being the communist party of Cambodia.Originally Posted by Lachesis VII
Id call them just another example of American-backed terrorists.

The liberals bombed the fascists in ww2 mate.

Fantastic documentary, I was just rewatching it earlier today.
I don't know what to say about how anti-intellectualism fits into it. Seems to me that's more of a communist thing, what with the bourgeois aristocracy being the educated ones who don't represent the common people so they need to be removed.
No denying it's part of the populism of the right today though. I guess it's a great tool for any murderous regime.
The marked difference has got to be whether there's an emphasis on race or not, doesn't it? How you divide people up? Is it based on race, or class? The result is the same but the lines are different.
well this is just patent nonsenseHuh?Man you like proverbs. I had to look this up. That's a frightening belief system you've got, but I guess it sounds pretty punk.
Can you point me at what you read when you looked up the phrase?
The idea is that well-meaning liberals tend to enable fascism, either inadvertently, or because they prefer fascism and it’s fetishization of private property to socialism and the abolition of private property. That, given a choice, liberals accept fascism because fascist social relations are just a more cruel and despotic form of liberal capitalism, requiring no leap of faith or imagination to embrace.
There's some commonality: as you mentioned they were both genocidal, dictatorial, autocratic regimes with a fondness for legends, myths, blood and soil. You'd struggle to make the comparison stick, though. The language of a communist state is too frequently opposed to the language of the fascist state. In particular the framing of the Khmer regime as a revolutionary struggle that must only look to the future where all were equal - the point of executing people for showing signs of deference or for using terms other than "comrade" and "brother" to refer to one another. Nazism, like most ultra right wing ideologies, is embedded in the mythology of the past and of the hierarchy.

So all those Latin American and Asian fascists the US has supported in the face of local socialist movements is just something that never happened?
And social democratic and liberal parties in Germany and Italy undermining socialist and communist parties did nothing to open the way for Mussolini and Hitler, right? And the economic liberalization of post-Soviet Russia did nothing to help Putin consolidate power, right?
And American liberal organizations have never defended the free speech of fascists, or condemned attempts to deplatform fascism, or led “better dead than red” campaigns, or anything like that, right?

post hoc ergo propter hoc etc. etc.
Also I'm with Djan. This new fangled weaponisation and bastardisation of the term "liberal" to attack anyone to the right of Comrade Ralph is fucking absurd.
Umm, newfangled?
Lamartine rejects the red flag. Paris, 1848. I’d mark this as the moment where the real split between socialist left and liberal center occurred.
Also:
There’s nothing new about socialists using the term “liberal” perjoratively. It’s just fallen out ofnfavor in the US as the right succeeded in conflating liberalism and socialism in the popular political consciousness, and socialist thought was generally suppressed in the later part of the last century.
As socialism re-emerges as a viable political force in the US, so too has the phenomenon of liberals taking flak from both the left and the right.

This attack is decades old in America.
And in case anyone is wondering (I’m on pain meds), Ochs’s song is criticing the mushy center that the DNC continues to believe almost a half century later forms the base of their party.
Yes groups like the ACLU have defended the free speech of fascists and nazis. Because they know that the erosion of rights will start with fringe groups. What exactly is your point?O’RLY?well this is just patent nonsenseHuh?Man you like proverbs. I had to look this up. That's a frightening belief system you've got, but I guess it sounds pretty punk.

And before the euros start bleating about their precious hate speech laws, would any of you really trust such laws to the body of shit heels known as the US Congress, or to people like Jeff Sessions?

My point is that the ACLU was not founded as a general purpose civil rights shop. It was founded in the early 20th century to defend anarchists, communists, and socialists from prosecution under the Sedition and Espionage acts. It then purged its leadership of leftists in the middle of the century, embraced liberalism, stopped defending the speech communists and socialists (remember when they refused to defend Paul Robeson?), and began defending Nazis.
Funny how that works.

Yes. As in started being used in fashionable hipster leftwing online circles all of about six weeks ago. As in being intentionally abused for shock and propaganda purposes because it's easier to attack "them" when you can give them a label. Because it's easier to attack "them" when you've defined "them" to be a group so large you can viably attach the label to anyone you damned well please; anyone you deem to be outside of your current ideological vogue. It's a meaningless, bastardised use of the term and your attempt to link it back to utterly irrelevant, centuries old history is a paper thin facade that makes you look like a fool.
Politics of identity is self-defeating.
ahahaha.As socialism re-emerges as a viable political force in the US

According to Axios, a leaked draft of a Trump administration bill would essentially “declare America’s abandonment of fundamental World Trade Organization rules” by allowing the president to raise U.S. tariffs at will, “without congressional consent and international rules be damned.”
Remind me, is investing total control of foreign trade into one man liberal or not? I need to be told so that I know what to think about this. My gut says it's fundamentally illiberal, but it seems to be on the right wing so I can't be sure

It's illiberal. But people who believe in liberal economic principles will still support it.
