Inside a tense, three-hour meeting at the Capitol on Tuesday, a fiery Senator Bernie Sanders urged Democrats not to yield to Republicans without a real victory on health care. He was armed with fresh polling that showed voters would punish the party for giving up with nothing in return.

Sanders is absolutely right. The longer this goes on, and the more pain Trump & the GOP choose to impose on the American people, the more certain it is that the neo-Nazi authoritarian movement that is MAGA will ultimately be defeated. It will be painful, but it's the only way to end this nightmare.

These are the “moderate” democrats who are probably going to cave to the GOP to reopen the government and bypass having to make any negotiations. If they do this, everything will have been for nothing. This is the ONLY leverage the democrats have. IMO, they aren’t asking for enough. #fyi #shutdown

The irony being that tankies, and their kapos who do the "did you go to the right school to be a radical" enforcement, are about the same goals as the current gerontocracy: wh*te people get comfort, us 'dirt races' get nothing. How can you discern the PBA/PPA junta from a tankie?

People power in action.

The West Coast should organize this among our citizens. Make a pact to not pay federal taxes. I know many have already chosen to do this. Perhaps we have some tax specialists who could provide some instructions for people. The rich don’t pay their taxes. We shouldn’t either. #westcoast #cascadia

In summary: Tankies have an extreme need to be part of an “on group” that they perceive to be superior to others. It shows in the way they behave towards others they don’t see as one of them. What’s important for everyone to know: TANKIES are not leftists. They are fascist authoritarians.

I’m sure everyone is very familiar with this kind of dynamic, even outside of politics. Hierarchy is everywhere and we have all been very conditioned to adhere to it. Some of are just more susceptible to it than others.

This will also help everyone understand why those snotty annoying “leftists” that continuously try to assert their dominance or moral superiority upon the masses with their non-stop insults, hyper-use of labels like “liberal” and “leftist” act the way they do.

Social dominance orientation – a preference for hierarchical social relations and acceptance of inequality. (Notice the extreme social hierarchy that tankies exhibit) Threat sensitivity – perceived economic, cultural, or existential threats amplify the appeal of strong, protective authorities.

Psychologist Theodor Adorno and his colleagues proposed that certain individuals possess a set of traits—conventionalism, submission to authority, aggression toward out‑groups, and a desire for homogenous group think—that predispose them to support authoritarian systems.

Tankies, being just as authoritarian as fascist MAGA, have a NEED for hierarchy. Their hierarchical needs look different, but they come from the same place.

The rate & level of fascist consolidation can make the fight for genuine democracy & equality seem impossible. One way we can advance the struggle, however, is in talking abt & *organizing around* a world beyond fascism—one in which fascism is impossible.
