    Did I say that all authoritarians are enabled by liberals? What agenda are you trying to push by misconstruing my words? Like seriously what point are you trying to reach here?

      fuck fascists and the liberals who enable them.

      I think it was this part where you link fascists to liberal enablers.

        But that =/= “every fascist is and always has been enabled by liberals.”

        They’re saying that it’s very common for liberals to side with a rising fascist over the left in a misguided attempt to maintain the status quo. They’d typically rather move to the right instead of giving any quarter to the left, because the left wants to upend the structures of oppression, while the right wants to bolster them—while scapegoating an out-group.

        Look at what macron is doing in France right now. Moving to the right to build a coalition with them to go against the majority left coalition that won the election.

          Ah I see. Your point would have been clearer if it was “ fuck the fascists and the any liberals who enable them”

            Eh, that doesn’t change much. “The liberals who enable them” specifically targets at liberals who enable fascism. If you removed ‘the’, it would be liberals in general

              The liberals, the Democrats, the Republicans, can all mean the whole group. That’s what’s unclear.
