    So you don’t understand our first past the post electoral system, you don’t understand how to stop fascism, you don’t understand politics in general, and you don’t understand how much you are embarrassing yourself with your ignorance right now.

      I understand that first past the post means whoever wins first, wins. The only thing preventing a non oligarch from winning is voters. But voters are terrified of losing the privileges that the status quo provides them.

      You can’t stop fascism if you don’t recognize it

          Centrism enables fascism. Liberalism enables fascism.

          A vote for either fascist is the spoiler

            The only thing that enables fascism is infighting among non-fascists. Instead of pointing fingers at everyone else, look in the mirror. Your politics vs my politics are irrelevant. All that matters is beating fascism.

                    Again, you don’t know the definition of fascism.

                    https://www.anarchistnews.org/content/it-fascism-now

                    Italian anarchists tried to organize a united front of the left and the unions to resist the Fascists physically, but the Socialist and Communist parties would not agree. A decade later, Leon Trotsky similarly urged the German Socialists and Communists to cooperate in combatting the Nazi Storm Troopers, with a similar lack of action by the Social Democrats and Stalinists.

                    Similar things happened in Spain. Either accept Democrats as allies against fascism, or enable fascism. Those are the only choices.
