lib doc about a performative (conservative) lib outburst is being suppressed by libs
It's not a liberal doc.
And I was near where it happened. These people tried to do a fascist putsch.
I dont doubt that they honestly believed they were going to overthrow the government. But what do you think their chances for success ever were?
Pretty darn likely. They had backing from several sectors of capital, but it was ersatz and done at the last minute.
This was obviously a test-run
Pretty darn likely? What happens when the National Guard comes and mows them down? You think if they got into the building and hanged Mike Pence that they would have control over the country and everyone would have to bow down to them?
Why would they use idiots who try to climb a wall with a set of stairs inches away from them to launch a serious coup to take over the country?
Half of them smeared their own shit all over the interior walls. Even if by some miracle every person in Congress burst into flames and died on Jan 6, do you think corporations would start taking orders from them?
Is this a bit
Nope.
I saw people armed to the teeth shouting about how they were going to topple the government.
They were larping. If they actually believed they could violently overthrow the government, they would have used those guns. But they didn't.
They weren't larping. They killed and injured several people.
They killed nobody but themselves, two rioters dying from heart attacks and one from a drug overdose. Oh and there was the woman killed by Capitol Police.
Exactly! And several injured! They tried several times to kidnap a governor!
And failed. What serious fascist coup can't kidnap one governor?
This is PatSoc shit.
Ony PatSocs support the fascist coup attempt.
No, it's not pateoc anything. The cpusa is haunted by patsoc obsession. This is real leftists not caring about liberal drama.
CPUSA is anti-PatSoc, actually.
No shit
Yeah, no shit.
Lmao
I am saying cpusa is obsessed with talking about patsocs, who are insignificant nothings. At no point did I suggest they are pro patsoc.
American leftist orgs are hilarious
there will be no revolution in America, of that I am more certain every day
They are not. They literally took over several organizations.
lol
Oh, big important influential ones?
eyyup
... which?
They've set up shop at several Trump organizations and succeeded in taking over KFA-USA and PCUSA.
Yeah, it's horrible.
oh shit well with their influence democracy in america is joever
Yeah, and it only took less than 5 years
yeah...
Nobody here supports the hogs come on now you know that. We just don't really think it matters like libs do. A fascist coup looks like 2000, not 2020.
No, a fascist coup looks like 2020, not 2000.
Do you understand that a coup actually succeeded in 2000?
Yes. What's your point
You are claiming a stupid protest riot is the same thing as an actual coup that worked
It didn't work, thank God
the protest that didn't work is worse than the coup that did
this is what you're saying?
Nope.
That's how a fascist putsch works, with violence and guns and the full backing of finance capital.
What is PatSoc? Jan 6th was just a dumb spectacle. A cop died, a guy tased his balls and shit was smeared in the capitol building.
Several people died and were injured.
"Patriotic socialist"
Like Jackson Hinkle.
