Minor counter point.
Killing nazis still implies the existence of living nazis. I wouldn’t say there is “nothing wrong”.
The fact modern people can still grow up to be nazis remains a huge problem of our combined society, regardless if we apply a post-solution or not.
It is my sincerest hope that sometime in the future humanity will mature and outgrow fascist and other harmful ideas entirely.
Good counterpoint. Fascism needs defeating as a thought.
What about defeating it as a possibility instead? Eliminating thoughts is exactly what the fascists do. If instead we remove the possibility of huge corporations and billionaires conspiring with governments to abuse their population we can still teach it in school, still admit to and learn from history rather than eliminating the thought and thus deny the mistakes of the past.
I would like to get to the place where we can defeat money and the inequality it brings. I feel that would address most problems.
Damn this is good. First time in months do I see someone with eyes to see. Thank you for being here
