Leftists rehashing debates from the 1800s over authority and authoritarianism as terms in the midst of fascism is such an indictment of what leftism means in this era. To say people are stuck is an understatement.

The Dems can “condemn” violence all they want. The right-wing establishment is still going to target them any opportunity they get. Any liberal condemnations just expedite the process of justifying their own destruction.

if u are fuming at mass deportation of migrants to El Salvador's CECOT prison, u should also be fuming that people are being deported at all. Plus, much of the $ for the securitization & border externalization & carceral regimes in Central America has LONG come from US-backed neoliberal war on drugs
