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.
