In the moral and political struggle to create a future with alternative possibilities, we need to build a united front. Radicalism can co-exist with pragmatic progressivism.
Fascists end up like WWII Germany, with The Other persecuted and everyone living in fear.
Leftist extremists end up like the USSR or France right after the French Revolution.
The difference? Extreme leftism is usually auto-correcting and indiscriminate about who suffers. It can only be sustained if authoritarians trick everyone into giving them power. Fascism requires an external reset and is very methodical about the suffering.
If you have a choice between you and your enemy getting $100 OR you and your enemy getting punched in the face, the fascist choose the punch in the face while the woke chooses the $100.
This is because either the fascist is so well off that the only joy they see is other people suffering, or so bad off that the only joy they can feel is in other peoples suffering. The woke just wants to make everything better.
What are the real differences between far right fascists and far left enlightened wokies?

not asleep?
Damn I’m not woke… sleepy eepy as hell 😴
The wokies will tear your arms off
New strategy: let the wokie win!
Maybe if the wokies were more willing to rip people’s arms off, the fascists wouldn’t be all clamoring to come out from under their rocks.
I’m down. Fascist wishbones, anyone? Whoever gets the bigger side gets to keep East Berlin…!
Whining about it won’t change anything.

One side wants things to be less worse, the other wants things to be worse.

Umm, no offense, but is English your first language…? I think I’m losing something in the translation.
