You obviously cannot use your brain, otherwise you wouldn’t say such a stupid thing, but yes. If they were fascist then we should use violence to make them go away. Tiny problem. NATO is not that and you are an idiot for saying such a thing with seriousness.
Thanks for the joke and letting me answer it seriously.
You know things have gone bad when you’re relying on a libertarian think tank literally founded by Charles Koch (as in, the Koch Brothers) as your source
Maybe a Lebanese source then. Maybe Venezuelan? Maybe a Marxist perspective? Oh wait, you want the neoliberalist to tell you when NATO is fascist. Good luck with your wait.
the European Parliament went so far as to blame both the USSR under Joseph Stalin, alongside Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler, as being jointly responsible for WW2
Uh…. Then he delivers a diatribe on how Stalin’s self-made famine was actually fantastic. Yes, we’ve heard all about that on Lemmy recently, thanks.
Yes, very nuanced and well reasoned “Marxist” perspective. Capitalist alliance having members in Eastern Europe: omg, so evil. Capitalist Russia controlling Eastern Europe: great, for some unexplained reason.
Yes you are. And i will leave it to the other people that have already told you why to continue. The mods here will probably delete this comment because I haven’t been nice to you :(((
If NATO is supposed to be a defensive alliance, it should not operate outside of its own borders under any circumstances, yet it has done so multiple times in the past.
In theory it is an alliance of equals, but in practice it is an enforcer of the foreign policy of its most powerful member, the US. As with Russia in the USSR and the larger Warsaw Pact. If that wasn’t the case, the US would have no use for NATO and would just leave, which is what many European countries would want to avoid at all costs.
I am not in kindergarden anymore.
I don’t have the time to argue with childrens understandings of what defensive alliances are and should be.
Good night bobby
Are you suggesting violence?
Hopefully.
Fascists don’t understand anything else. Proof: History
Sometimes to reach peopl you have to speak to them in their own language
I think NATO is a tool for capitalist imperialism and therefore fascist. Should we use violence against NATO?

Don’t listen to me, maybe consider a think tanks opinion. >Source But yeah, I’m the idiot. /s

Ah yes, the Lebanese source “Tim Anderson”.

I hope not. I respect the discourse despite the insults. Maybe try to see the world from a less Americanized lens.
I am. I am not even American.
Maybe try to see the world from a lens that doesnt gobble up Propaganda

Mhm. Sure buddy.
Great rebuke.

You have no argument, you know I’m right. Pathetic showing.
you know that the whole Middle East thing wasn’t due to NATO?
Europeans don’t want America to leave NATO? Sure wouldn’t know that from talking to them.
I guess I know what you’re trying to say, but not even remotely close to what fascism means.
I know it’s not fascism by definition, it is metaphorical. Capitalism decays into fascism.
My friend NATO was started by a literal nazi, it’s not fascist because it’s imperialist. It’s fascist because it’s fascist.
Communists can’t be fascist, they have a thin veil of very conditional worker solidarity! They’re inherently good! Stalin was just misunderstood.
