  • You know liberals and capitalists are kinda the same thing? Liberalism is the philosophy of capitalism, and anarchists and socialists are both leftists?

    Also the entire lead up to WW II had the socialists trying to ally with literally anyone to deal with Germany, but was rejected, as France and Britain signed Non-Aggression Pacts with Germany and gave them and Poland Czechslovakia in hope that Poland and Germany would invade the USSR and deal with what they perceived as a greater threat. Britain literally tried to join the winter war on the side of Finland and Germany.

    The point is even in WWII, the liberals preferred fascism to socialism until they were literally being invaded, and if the socialists supported the liberals aims, the fascists would have won.



  • You’re not looking at this from a materialist perspective; people don’t just fall to hate, fear, vengeance or decide to support capitalism or socialism or whatever because they have a big discussion and decide that’s the best idea and would have decided something else if only someone made the right argument at the right time. Ideology, culture, etc, the superstructure, is determined by the structure, the relationship with means of production.

    Liberalism is not a stable system; the rate of profit declines over time if new markets aren’t being added or capital destroyed. In response to declining conditions, the “middle class”, due to their privilege, aren’t going to question the system that privileged them, that leaves them with weird conspiracies blaming minorities and foreign countries for their declining conditions. The big bourgeoisie will always prefer this to socialism.
