Marxist-Lentilist: Jackboots and Jackfruit
Too much fraternizing amongst anarchist trouble-makers go on on here on my thread. I warn you that if this goes on much longer you will have to recon with my revolutionary iron fist.

You'll be trying to sweep us away with an iron broom next... though I have the impression you're more Tankie than Trotsky, so might not appreciate that particular reference

Cuban Anarchists On Context and Importance of the Recent Wave of Protests
On this episode of the It's Going Down podcast, we speak with an anarchist from Cuba and a Cuban-American anarchist living in Miami about the recent wave of protests which have swept the island over the last few weeks. While the demonstrations took everyone by surprise, our guests argue that...

Inappropriate content removed
He's clueless though.I get your point SpineyNorman, and inappropriate use of the term fascist can be somewhat annoying. But if we want to be ultra purist about it, we could also argue that Franco, Hitler, Salazar, etc. weren't really fascists either, and we should only apply the term to the ideology (rather than actual practice) of Mussolini's National Fascist Party. And there is also the popular use of fascist as an abuse word from many on the left (and others), and like it or not, it is what it is, but using "fascist" in that way doesn't make someone a political illiterate. Instead, we can think of terms like "red fascism" as a metaphor.
As for Count Cuckula, he is no political illiterate and his politics are far from the "anarchist swamp". He's a proper class struggle anarcho-communist, though yes, he does have a tendency to sometimes get carried away, shoot from the hip and end up putting his foot in his mouth
A definition of fascism that only included the fascisti in theory would is just the mirror image of ducula's 'people telling people what to do it fascist maan' really isn't it? I've never actually seen anyone try and argue that either.
And the difference between Cuba and Franco, Salazar, Hitler (really?) and even Pinochet is that they share many common threads with fascism and there is a genuine debate to be had over whether they qualify as fascist (though I'd say the debate is over for Hitler).
Ultranationalism, anticommunism, anti egalitarianism, militarist expansionism, even the class composition of the movement in many cases demonstrate these are akin to fascism.
Cuba really doesn't have anything in common with fascism other than there is a state and it's authoritarian.
Shouldn't you be at school?
