  • I struggled with this for a long time too.

    I’m going to do the meme here and say “reading theory” helps a lot but it’s true. It helped me anyway. Particularly anything relating to propaganda. If you think people are stupid it is likely they were made stupid with willful intent. They are victims and the correct people to hate are the people vested in keeping it that way.

    I also learned a lot from reading about Che. He confused me when I was younger because for someone who talked about love so much he committed an awful lot of violence. A true romantic if there ever was one.


  • Most Americans in my experience don’t know what either word means. If you use either one they just make up something seemingly on vibes.

    It’s a little more interesting when you describe policy without using the words.

    Describe something communists would do: “Ya that sounds good we should do that.” Call it communism: “That’s a bad idea.”

    Describe something fascists would do: “That’s evil” Call it fascism: “Not everything is fascism.”

    Some people even use the words interchangeably as if they mean the same thing.
