Neck-and-neck with Lula in polls, Flávio Bolsonaro fires up his base in the bellwether state of Minas Gerais – starting at the scene of his father’s stabbing
Voting by itself won’t stop fascists. But Brazil did MORE than just vote. They voted and also arrested the top fascists. We (in the states) could learn a lesson from Brazilians on that.
Unfortunately, allowing any fascists to live is like allowing any cancer to live. Fascists must be completely deleted or they will always come back to do fascism. Always.
Incorrect. Voting has worked in several cases in the 20th century alone. The problem is, that voting has to be followed by imprisonment of the fascists and all of their supporters, and it seems like nobody is willing to do that.
(In fairness to Brazil, they at least got this half right)
Nah. The Carnation Revolution in Portugal had nothing to do with communism. Neither did the February Revolution in the Philippines. And Die Wende of East Germany happened after the most prominent communist state in history had just fallen.
To be clear, I’m not saying that voting by itself is ever enough; in the examples above, civil disobedience and protest accompanied participation in elections. But to say that we have to jump straight to a Red Terror or install a Mao to have any hope at all is not borne out by history.
The other stuff you mentioned are insignificant. No one have heard of them. Communism was the reason life actually felt good till 90s. No matter how much you cope that will remain truth.
Voting never works, it never did.
Stalin. Gulag. Red terror

because we had strong communist resistances in 20th century, we dont have that luxury anymore.
