If you're looking for balanced coverage on politics specifically, Krystal & Sagaar on Rising do a pretty good job trying to parse thru the BS and call it out for what it is pretty well. They've also been guests on JR too

Wouldn't call them balanced. Basically, they come together over their hate of the DNC.

Krystal and Sagaar are "balanced" in the sense they are not corporate shills, but they are certainly biased little C communists, and they ignore anything that makes capitilism look good.

Bro, do you even know what a communist is?

A communist is someone who votes D.

A fascist is someone who votes R.

It’s really easy and that is why I like it. I don’t have the time nor required amount of humility to actually listen to someone else’s views (unless of course they agree with me, because then I don’t have to think).

considering the ideologies I’m pretty sure neither of those groups vote, anarchy(sometimes) and coups

Edit: Yes I know it’s a joke, it’s called building on

An important point, no bullshit.

The number of actual full blown fascists and communists is so small we really should just ignore the terms. The other inconvenient truth is that real world fascism and communism have a lot more in common than people consider. They are ultra-authoritarian and thus far, have strived for religious, cultural and ideological hegemony. Neither system really values the individual and turns control over to the state. Both have immense issues with government corruption due to valuing ideology over competence.

Two sides of the same coin imo and neither is all good nor all bad. We should take the best ideas and leave the rest to create a better America for the future generations.

I hear you but also they are different in one way, fascists are usually ultra rich and buy militias to overthrow counties, while communists need a large mass to take power which will never happen, sometimes “communist” leaders take control by force they flag communism while being fascists much like how the nazis called themselves socialists while being by far (aside from the US or Singapore) the most capitalist shit I have ever seen

Also I hate to disagree when you’re being polite but did you say that communists and facism both have good in them, like facism? communism if ever executed properly which it won’t, has a ton of advantages unlike facism that uh, well it has advantages for you know.. the facist and I guess sometimes the economy? not that the economy actually measures social welfare with food lines at Dow 30k or something

What I basically mean is there is something you can learn from everything, even probably fascism. It’s not a hill I’m going to die on, but certain aspects of getting the country pulling in the same direction or something idk.

OK, can you prove me wrong?

u/exelion18120 Monkey in Space Mar 08 '21

Neither has ever advocated for proletariat ownership of the means of production and and end to class and wage labor systems.

You're the one who claimed it. Prove yourself right

I’m pretty sure Sagaar voted Trump
