The way to fight fascism is by attacking the system that holds it up not recreating its parent.

I study actual history and read actual history books that critically examine history through various lens from Marxist, de-colonial and other authors and that does not line up with the middle school propaganda you were feed sorry. Democracy at least at first for only property owning white men because the merchants and rich capitalists got rich and powerful enough that the aristocracy was an enemy of theirs and no longer useful to hold real power. These voting rights slowly expanded in order to placate rebellious populations or gain supporters when necessary first all white men, then women on and on while never forgetting and always co-opting "democracy" to maintain their power.

What? Goverment has always existed to protect property rights of the ruling class that's basic. Anything else it does that appear to do anything else are either really about their real goal or hard fought bargains meant to prevent rebellion that always are viewed as temporary,

the way to save lives is to change the society that harms billions not prop it up because you lack the imagination to think of something better.

immediately attacked by the ruling elite when it starts to form

Not when the existing government is built to concentrate and protect current property relations. Sure have parallel structures built to replace what exists but don't reform, revolt.

Good unfortunately its unlikely to go anywhere. This ongoing genocide is not capable of being fought legally in the current world order.

What's up with this centrist nonsense? It's a good thing to want to change the existing power structures actually.

If i kill my elderly neighbor so i can steal and pawn everything they own my poverty is an explanation not an excuse for my actions. My actions don't suddenly become acceptable because I benefited from them.

Reminder that Booker is an enthusiastic genocide supporter who has pushed hard for anti-bds laws. He also very bad on plenty of other areas such as miltoquste climate policy and support for bombing Yemen. Don't champion him because of performative nonsense.

Yep believing in myself when i have a overwhelming amount of evidence that would be a bad bet is to abandon reason and embrace superstition.
