a liberal is an egalitarian and a capitalist. they think what will solve racism is having more black people become ceos and senators and movie stars, rather than through transforming our economy. liberals and leftists will agree on some things, like that racism is a problem that should be solved. but liberals dont understand the underlying causes of those problems.

Those people did not have civilization as we know it. Band societies are indeed pretty egalitarian. Their material infrastructure works against entrenched hierarchies, little storable wealth and a general lack of division of labor. That a super complex civilization could forego such hierarchies is laughable. I do not support capitalism (whatever that means) but if something is going to replace it and maintain something we call civilization it will absolutely have entrenched hierarchies and systems of power.

marx never called for an egalitarian society. a classless society, sure, but a classless society isnt egalitarian. it simply means that no person or group of oligarchs can control the resources of a society. that does not mean everyones "equal" harrison bergeron style. or that groups of people are equal to another group. those are liberals and their stupid ass complaints about, idk, that fat people are as hot as skinny people. thats fucking retarded, and not our goal. our goal is material equality, not ideal equality.

Right wingers define "left/right" in terms of social policy, while left wingers define "left/right" based on economics. I don't give a shit about economics, that is why I don't care to make a distinction between you and "the libs", you both push for basically the exact same social policies.

Fascism seems to heavily rely on the past value structures - unsurprisingly. Franco's Spain and Mussolini's Italy are so alien from modern China it's unbelievable.

You have powerful lobby groups like the ADL and SPLC trying to frame everything they dislike as 'white nationalism'. One of the biggest tactics used against Trump was to associate him with unsavory politicians, most notably on the far right, such as KKK endorsements or him being praised by people like David Duke. This obviously failed, and the blowback is that it gave the far right free publicity. Immediately after Trump got elected, they instead hammered down on the white nationalism narrative, with CNN labeling it a 'whitelash against a black president' (nevermind the fact taht key voters flipped from Obama to Trump). You have neoliberal mouthpieces like Paul Krugman and Justin Trudeau praising diversity and the wonders of open borders.
