If you haven't actually went to one of these things, it is actually terrifying in a way. These people are the future brown-shirts of America. They are very explicitly racist, and said racist things to my comrades. All these people are gonna have to die.

This is sort of a sombering picture, actually. You'll notice among the racist and xenophobic drivel, the protester decries the actions of the corporations who began the current crisis, which is indicative of the far-right's funneling of justified outrage at the capitalist crisis and the government's response to it from the left.

Fox news love doing that. Fucking highly educated people pretending that they have to look up words and misenterpreting them.

The racism in those protests is disgusting. Comparing Obama's raising of taxes (which he actually isn't doing) to the Holocaust is frankly disgusting. And the comparisons of him to monkeys just as bad.

What I don't understand is how anyone can compare free universal health care to the holocaust in which millions were killed. Just...how did they get that?

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

because "national healthcare" + socialism = national socialism

[Il Medico]

Cause they are idiots.


Also apparently a good vocabulary isn't something teabaggers value, as they seem not to know what any of the words they are using mean.

"Fascism is a form of socialism":lol:

[*Viva La Revolucion*]

because "national healthcare" + socialism = national socialism

:blink:

So basically they've taken ''national healthcare'' to mean socialism, even though Obama's plans don't have anything to do with socialism and they found that combining the two words gives them the name of the ideology of the Nazi Party? How logical.

[Ravachol]

Now I don't want to be an elitist because honestly, I do realize there is a lot of false class conciousness going on there, but for the love of Science. A lot of these people are so EXTREMELY stupid I seriously doubt any salvation is even possible. Depressing really.

Also, the thing with these teabaggers is that they really start to resemble an ill-informed, 'redneck', false-class conciousness guided proto-fascist mob. Sure, the libertarianism and paleoconservatism behind are not really corporatist but the themes of extreme nationalism, racism, 'cultural degeneration', conservatism, extreme anti-communism and 'anti-establishment' thought (in the sense they seem to identify the current establishment with marxism for some perverted reason) are very,very fertile ground for proto-fascist movements. This, combined with the fact that this is the same social segment the right-wing militias draw from and the interest of large corporate backers in libertarianism and paleoconservatism does actually worry me. Outside of the US, libertarianism and paleoconservatism (which I think corresponds more with this movement) is limited to a few captains of industry, sour old sock bloggers and survivalist 'dey derk ur derbs' types. In the US, with it's tradition of violence-prone right-wing militias this might be a different cup of tea though. On the other hand, they don't pose a coherent mass movement and history has shown that fascism can only rise to power in collaboration with traditional elites. Which is unlikely to happen as there is no threat from organized labor to their interests. They might pose a violent threat to minorities and the working class though.

[Robocommie]

Damnit. In all seriousness, these morons really make me worry about whether it'll be possible to wake people up to Socialism. These people are willfully ignorant.

As I was touching on earlier, these people are not inherently stupid. Its just that they've been brainwashed into thinking of being informed and intelligent as elitist and evil commie.

The opinion of someone they'd like to grab a beer with holds more water than someone who has a grey even sided opinion after rigorous deliberation.

The mindset of the illiterati is one of gut feelings and talking from the heart, etc. There are certain enviable qualities in this that the super liberal are woefully lacking. But its not hard for highly intelligent propagandists to pretend to be regular joes, like standford educated Gretchen Carlson pretending to have to look up the word czar in the dictionary.

Its a perfect example of the real world application of orwell's thoughtstop. If you go around thinking for yourself then youre automatically the enemy, you know what you want and its whatever the patriotic guy screams on tv.

Theres nothing stupid about close minded people, its easy to say it, but they can just apply certain mental gymnastics to keep the opinions given to them unchallenged by themselves. Its no coincidence that theres a strong correlation between religious fervour and these types. Dont forget, that we're the minority and the idea that freethinking is dangerous has been a mainstay of civilisation.

It doesn't help at all to think of the vast majority of people as just plain stupid.

[Axel1917]

We can clearly see that some people will fight for the right to be exploited from these pictures.

This right-wing populism does not surprise me though, especially considering that people have been moving to the left in confused ways at times. For instance, people were so sick of Bush that they were seeing what they wanted to see in Obama; "hope" and "change" were just empty vessels into which they projected their aspirations for a better society. The right has been losing ground compared to the recent past, so they are bound to try to capitalize on public anger at bankers and capitalists. Even fascism has a populist method in a sense, given that fascists have attempted to "piggy back" off the successes of left-wing movements that are/were opposed to capitalism, hence names like "National Socialists", "National Bolsheviks", "National Anarchists", etc.

Obama is proving to be the capitalist reactionary we have always said he is. Once illusions are shattered in him, perhaps people will be more open to left-wing ideology. I don't think that people that were against Bush in the first place are going to want to go back to the Republicans, for the most part.

This thread is funny, though. Maybe this thread is a revleft equivalent of failblog.org. :laugh:

[Niccolò Rossi]

Look at this fucking hipster is funnier.

[Floyce White]

The original picture was funny. The guy probably knows that Congress makes the laws. He might even know that Federal courts are part of the legislative branch. He just willfully ignores his own knowledge to be part of some social activity. Anyone that alienated isn't a threat to anybody. He's just old and lonely and sad. I've talked to similar types before, and they admit wrong or slink away from the topic. They just need some attention for awhile. Such types are not dependable activists--more what we would call "periphery."

[Rusty Shackleford]

Look At This Fucking Hipster is indeed funnier, but Look At This Fucking Teabagger is perfect for revleft.

As long as this movement consists of people with something to lose they will not pose a threath. Once it becomes a movement of desperate poors, we might want to consider moving against them for real.

There was a video from AlJazeera in the Anti-Fascism (http://www.revleft.com/vb/al-jazeera-piece-t126313/index.html) subforum that shows a LOT of support for NSM and White Supremacist groups coming from poor white people. though NSM and the like only make up a tiny part of the teabaggers its growing.

Goddamn I love America. It's a beautiful place.

And as for the teabaggers, please, 99% of these people are going to get some fried chicken an hour after the rally and jerk off to Sarah Palin. The other few crazies, well, they'll be taken care of.

[the last donut of the night]

You guys seem to be taking this lightly (yes, this is chit-chat, but I think I need to make a point).

Yes, the teabaggers are hilariously crazy; they're stupid and ignorant. However, have you not thought that to a lot of other people, they may seem smart? They are part of a petty bourgeoisie reacting to a decaying capitalism; like every growing fascist movement they blame their ills on latinos, blacks, gays, etc.

They are dangerous; especially when it has been shown that some of them are supported by the big bourgeoisie.

We should always be fighting them.

[Rusty Shackleford]

the point of this thread was to poke fun at them.

that video that was posted in Anti-Fascism is probably something all revlefters should watch. it makes a link between the NSM(National Socialist Movement) and the teabaggers

It's got some petty bourgeois elements but I think in the main it's a working class movement being organized by the bourgeoisie, at least on a macro level. Its finer details are in the main organized by pretty regular working class people.

In a lot of ways yes, it's the prototypical fascist formation. In that sense it's "at the top" being organized by the bourgeoisie, but as far as I can tell it all right now it's only a tiny minority of the ruling class that is gambling with fascism - and fascism is always a gamble.

I also insist on pointing out every time the issue is raised - like Chomsky said, the right response isn't ridicule [anti-working class bigotry], the right response is organizing. And some fear.

But I also need to point out - the point of this particular thread isn't fuck, fascism, scary, what do we do about it - the point of this thread is hey, look at those people, ooh, haha.


ed: I also want to point out the hypocrisy. Almost all of us have been to protests. You virtually always get weirdos, signs routinely have misspellings, etc.

This is true, but not at such a high extent & within such a large number as the tea-baggers give lol.

[Tiktaalik]

Yo that shit is fucking funny.

It's absurdly alarming - I can't believe people are falling for this!
It seems like all the idiots listening to this forgot about being pissed at the banks ... and they're actually convinced Obama is a socialist. Tea Partiers claim to hate politicians and don't trust anyone in authority but they are such obedient morons, believing everything someone on TV tells them or leads them to believe and then following the legal routes of protest .

Tho, some carry guns to their demonstrations and neo-nazis and racists have been very enthusiastically organizing in a few Tea Parties and that's not good, esp. in light of the economic situation.

Recently there's been some anti-racist and anarchist work against their organizing, at least
You should def check out
"Of Tea Parties and Patriots: In Defense of True Liberty" - whatever google links you to should have the text... zinelibrary has it online in a zine format so that you can print and distribute.

[The Vegan Marxist]

What gets me was that the tea-parties were originally started by genuine political activists, not as radical as those on this site of course, but they were genuinely tired of what was going on in this system & protested against it by promoting a candidate they thought might help bring a lot of the problems we were suffering go away, & that was Ron Paul. Compare the 2007 tea parties with the 2009 tea parties:

[Rusty Shackleford]

Ron Raulians (more-well known as Libertarians) may be genuine political activists, but they are radical, in the opposite direction of us.

i almost got suckered into the whole ron paul platform because i was younger(2.5 years) and just wanted M rated games, alcohol, and cigarettes that he sort of hinted to would come from deregulation pretty much. at least thats what i knew back then, and also did not give 2 shits about capitalism.

i had completely forgetten about the teabaggers until early '09. at first ithought it was funny. but its something that is growing more dangerous.
