        PJ is a social fascist, essentially. PJ nearly always posts anti-communist memes that range from horribly misleading to outright disinformation, and will frequently misquote Marx or other leftists to justify opposing communism and supporting imperialism. Further, PJ stalks my account from time to time and tries to grab content for the Nazi bar they moderate, so at a personal level I’d say I’m not a fan.

          Huh, I guess I haven’t paid too much attention to that. I’ve only ever engaged with their historical posts that they’ve put up. I’ll probably have to look up social fascistism. I’ve used Umberto’s 14 points, is it kinda like that?

            I’m not a fan of Eco’s 14 points as an identification of fascism. They are common characteristics of fascism, but not the definition of it nor do they explain the rise and fall of fascism. Fascism is better seen as capitalism in decay, as the methods of colonialism applied domestically. The Nazis essentially tried to colonize Europe, treating the rest of Europe the way Europe treats the global south.

            Social fascism is essentially a term for those that want to retain imperialist welfare states, bribing the working classes with welfare and siding with imperialism and neocolonialism to fund them, rather than socialism. The German SPD hated the communists, and worked with the Nazis to kill the KPD off, enabling the rise of Nazism in Germany. It’s no coincidence that PJ loves the German SPD.

      Along with CM002, Rimu, dude, the quok guy, eyekaytee, Goat, Lund, gedelliyah… The whole .world mod/admin team, along with .works, and now midwest.social, several anime, more I’ve probably not mentioned.

        Put it this way: I don’t think PJ is a fed, but I think the fact that he’s the feds aren’t paying him is wage theft.
