1. El Conflicto como Motor Esencial del Fascismo.
El fascismo es descrito como una ideología inherentemente autodestructiva que no puede sobrevivir en tiempos de paz. Requiere un estado de conflicto constante, ya sea interno (contra grupos minoritarios o disidentes) o externo (guerras), para mantener la cohesión, justificar la represión y desviar la atención de sus fallas políticas y económicas.
- All fascists need conflict to maintain power. They are gearing up to go on offense with the anyone in the world that wont bend the knee.
- Fascists cant and wont do a regular, peacetime politics as this would expose their emptiness - theyre either hecklers or - if in power, in need to create and maintain a conflict/threat, either internal, external or both .
- One of the inextricable problems of fascism is that it requires a perpetual conflict, but a perpetual conflict is also an unwinnable conflict.
- Fascism can get away with making everything worse bc it always maintaining a conflict, either internal directed at the targeted out-groups or external by starting wars.
2. La Inevitabilidad de la Confrontación para Derrotar el Fascismo.
Existe un consenso histórico y pragmático en el archivo de que el fascismo, dada su naturaleza violenta y su rechazo a la negociación, solo puede ser detenido mediante una confrontación directa, a menudo armada. La historia, especialmente la Segunda Guerra Mundial, se cita como prueba de que la paz no se logra apaciguando a los regímenes fascistas.
- Fascism wont end without conflict. Sorry. History has taught us that, and you should know it.
- I sincerely hope im wrong and this can be averted, but i think the fascists are salivating for open conflict and eventually they will escalate to a point retaliation is unavoidable and necessary.
- Once the fascists gain control, things have never gone back to normal without armed conflict.
- The only way fascists have ever been removed has been armed conflict.
3. Críticas a la Aversión al Conflicto en la Población.
Una parte significativa del debate se centra en cómo la aversión al conflicto y el deseo de comodidad por parte de la población general, especialmente los moderados, facilitan el ascenso del fascismo. Esta pasividad es vista como una traición a los principios y una concesión al agresor.
- I have learned that fascism arises because the vast majority of people avoid conflict and live in fear of escalation if you point out the evil.
- Its your inability to sit with discomfort that prevents you from having firmly-held principles. Your fear of conflict compels you to concede more and more to fascists...
- The mythology of good faith internal conflict with fascists is actually very destructive to movements towards democracy, in my opinion.
- The ceaseless attempts to somehow reframe election results as a function of economic factors is crippling our ability to respond to trump, by giving his conflict-averse opposition an excuse to keep their heads down and wait for outside conditions to magically convince voters fascism is bad.
4. Naturaleza y Estrategias del Conflicto Actual.
El conflicto actual se percibe como una guerra activa, no una guerra fría, que se manifiesta como un conflicto civil o una lucha ideológica. Se discuten estrategias de resistencia, enfatizando que no toda la lucha debe ser frontal o violenta, pero sí debe ser decidida.
- This is a civil conflict at the end of the day. The fascists in charge dont have actual policy they have money and scapegoats.
- This is not a cold war conflict. The fascist regime is waging war against us.
- We face an ideological conflict and part of defeating it is having a true alternative to the world the fascists want.
- Nobody said you need to fight them fairly or engage in direct conflict.
