even if anti communist left is very useful to the empire and often collaborators with it, the truth is that they were/are/will be prosecuted too just like the tankies/”authoritarians”/communists/stalinists/leninists they hate so much.

i feel a bit bad for liberals too. theyre so caught up in anticommunism that they view nazis as participants in political freedom and democracy while only communists are the evil ones. however, they dont realize that they were also very much victimized by fascism and their enemies want to kill them, not engage in an election. this is why people defending Graham Platner are so stupid. why do you want to vote for someone not recognizing symbols that killed you too? liberals also saw death under the Totenkopf

Well said! An important application of the masses, elites and rebels analysis around why people have the beliefs they have, and how to change people's minds and beliefs. Might be worth plugging the essay too as it's a good one and regularly passed along here: https://redsails.org/masses-elites-and-rebels/

Losurdo likes to bang on about aristocratic ideologies and aristocratic democracy too which is very much in this vein of critique. A good chunk of Liberalism: A Counter History covers it alongside the analysis of Herrenvolk Democracy. I haven't read it but he often footnotes his own work on Nietzsche when covering this stuff too.
