YO thats enough for a revolution

I get the impression it was very different in the early 20th century, but I honestly think that fascists in the early 21st century on the whole probably don’t even realize they’re fascists and will reject being called one purely on reflex. You see this particularly well in a lot of terminally online nerd spaces where people will state and argue for cis white male patriarchal supremacist positions without a moments hesitation but will react with complete incredulity if you call them on it. Some of them are being self aware crypto-fasch sure…but a lot of them just deny it because they have just enough awareness and self preservation that they recognize that makes them a bad person and doing any work to be better is much harder than just pretending.

All this is to say: the people who voted in favor of fascism are the ones already excited to slap a swastika on. A huge number of the people who voted “Don’t Know” are probably down to fuck with fascism…they would just rather call it liberalism.

That gray bar is black in reality

If you gave that survey in the US people would be like “BUT GOMUDISM IS FASHISM!11!”

I do wonder how the question was posed. I don’t think many people would openly admit to supporting fascism, but if you broke the question down into certain policy choices I feel like the number would skew higher. But that could just be me.

On the otherhand that would also mean less people are apprehensive about openly admitting they’d support communism, which would be cool.

If you HAD to choose between Communism and Fascism

Oh no, please don’t force me to make this choice, it’s impossible.

I do NOT want to see the numbers for America, they’ll be way worse

I love how the worker’s party (allegedly) has less people wanting communism than the fucking gardeners party. but instead pls

5% of Labour voters preferring fascism must be turbo politically confused.

If this keeps up, Churchill is going to send the army into Wales again.

I love the wording

If you HAD to choose between a nice sandwich and getting mauled by a wolverine, which would you choose?

I don’t know how meaningful the question really is

It’s funny how my first thought is to quip that it’s meaningful in that fascists might consider rebranding as communists, then I remember that “national socialism” is an actual thing that arguably had some historical significance.

Y’all are making a very important conflation

People are largely supportive of communist policies. How to get there and stay there is where most Westerners disagree

Break the commie voters down by how to achieve it and it should be almost all by voting

can’t do revolution their parties are too busy hating on the transgenders
