I also don't think it's remotely in American interests to have Iran allegiances shift.
There’s also the House of Orleans, who believe that Louis-Philippe’s overthrow in the 1848 revolution was illegitimate.
Facism isnt right wing
It was literally created to be a new, better, Socialism. It's as left wing as it can be.
I don't even know what Fascism is supposed to mean at this point when you have scholars claiming that the USA is under a fascist government because of Trump. I mean excuse me we're still one of the freest countries to ever exist in history and deporting illegals doesn't merit the designation of fascist in my eyes.
Iran has better equipment and a lot of the same mountainous terrain as well as Islamic fanaticism that its Afghan neighbors have. Getting bogged down in a struggle there would be a mistake. Airstrikes and only pursuing easily tangible objectives should some kind of conflict break out would be ideal there if push came to shove.
fascism is when police do things i don't like
I agree and I think it was all part of a greater plan. They spend a tremendous amount of time teaching about slavery and ww2 in US public schools which leads to harry potter syndrome. They have never read or been taught other historic fact so they lack "another book" to reference and help frame things.
Fascism is right wing
Fascism just means "communism that I don't like." The full name of the Nazi party was the National Socialist German Workers' Party. When people tell you they are socialists, you should take them seriously.
They also get hung up on the nationalist angle of it, as if soviet russia wasn't also nationalist, just with different emphasis. The thing is they look at the socialist policies of Germany as exclusionary because it had its intended recipients as if there were tons of persona non grata entities, individuals and groups that were not extended "benefits" in communism.
counter point: our understanding and definition of socialism is dominated by Marxist socialism.
Yeeup, people forget Margaret Sanger was into eugenics and that was a core founding principle of Planned Parenthood: eliminate poor browns.
Just do what the Mongolians did and you’d win.
I respectfully disagree because it's all derived from a sick Hegelian inversion and it's important to note that different Marxist factions fucking hated and killed each other. So what if the Nazis hated Bolsheviks? Maoists hated Soviets and the Vietnamese hated the Khmer Rouge. Every government I just mentioned practiced ethnic cleansing of some sort. It's all the same "we can make a perfect society if only we have enough authority tee hee" bullshit.
All collectivist systems are innately, intrinsically left wing, because the basis of them is reliance on some grand social contract with appeal to zero sum nonsense where people think that for someone else to have something, they must give something up.
