But why trust a system that says "don't worry, we'll get there eventually" when other systems say the exact same thing?
Fascists talk of utopia, why not believe them?
Because they look at the contradictions and blame them on things like some ethnic group ruining everything. Labor movements have actually traditionally done a lot of that, but fascists solely want to blame regular working class people for the issues that capitalism wrought. (And exterminate them.) And again, we try to avoid talks of utopia. We just want to move on from capitalism.
And while you may say something that sounds rational, it may not sound as rational to everyone, especially if they are seeped in a lot of racist propaganda.
How do you deprogram someone who has been told their entire life that Jews and immigrants are the real problem that Jews and immigrants aren't?
Hell if I know.
