Beware of those who oppose communism while also claiming to oppose capitalism. These types are frequently neofascists.
Neofascists have no interest in reducing—let alone abolishing—the phenomena of capital, the law of value, and generalized commodity production. They are simply frustrated with how actually existing capitalism benefits the haute‐bourgeoisie too much and the petty bourgeoisie too little.
Yeah, anyone who says “capitalism and communism are both bad.” is always pushing for some kind of third way. The worst part is how convincing they can be despite being super obvious about their fascism.
Maybe I am just jaded at this point but whenever I see this “both are bad” language used, I just automatically assume the person has no idea about anything they are talking about. And I generally expect the next thing they say to be either a negative thing about communism or a positive thing about western late capitalism. I’m generally right about that part…
