Law 1: stop posting at the nazi bar
In the nicest way possible, it’s extremely naive to expect that the law makers currently benefitting from this wave of facism are going to make laws that actively hinder them from doing so.
You need a much more honest and socialist government before you get anything close to this ideal.
Before even that, laws don’t stop fascism. if they did, we wouldn’t be where we are today.
Spread the word!
Most lib shit I’ve seen today. Laws aren’t going to end fascism lmao (and Congress won’t pass laws that would end fascism if such a thing existed).
Step 1 to utopia: get congress to pass something for the good of the people.
I don’t know, seems easy enough.
Except it’s not, because that’s not its purpose. The point of Congress is to pass laws for the good of the rich; expecting it to help average people without a (optionally metaphorical) gun to their head completely misunderstands American politics.
We have a shit load of laws designed to prevent fascism. They aren’t preventing fascism.
nah, the post about ‘how to stop a dictator’ is the most lib shit. (you are right about Congress though) that is why citizens have to write these laws.
So, after reading through it; it’s a clever idea. One that I think is ultimately fruitless, for the most part. For one, the federal government holds higher authority than the state. Things will end up drug out in court for so long, there’ll have been at least two elections. As far as the PAC stuff goes, what’s to prevent a corporation from taking the hit on tax breaks and incentives, to far out fund their puppet politician’s opposition and just become the new cost of business? It seems like you could create a brand new power disparity with that. We need action, far faster, than state level legislation can give us. How many of these will die in sub committees? We need to turn the midterms, priority one. Full stop. Nothing else matters until you have the right people at the federal level now.
Don’t forget the FUCK ICE act.
Overturning Citizens United would be a fantastic start.
Yes, it would.
